yes, 2 years in Madrid and looked around a bit for holiday house finca.. lot of under 100k possibilities with > 5000-10000m2 land but usually only with a small garage/shed looking "house" .. So the permits probably only allow a small farm tool shop and not building a house.. however, did you check if putting a prefab cottage, which is removable at any time, would be allowed?
Good question! I never checked for that and I think it's a good idea for the same reason that you mentioned. The only drawback is that it's still a small footprint, normally they are max 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 small kitchen 🤔 Which brings us to the questions: what is enough? 🤔😆
@@AxiMolnar prefab can be substantially big, made up of e.g shipping containers: 2 x 40ft with 20ft container combined gives you about 80 m2 of foot print which is most comfortable for a 2 bedroom place with living room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms with shower only.. one has to provide sun panel , septic tank and water borehole.. maybe not allowed to connect to municipal water supply or electrical grid
@@guywuytack7099 Good thinking! 😉Yes, a lot of remote places don't even have municipal water supply and have to rely on the land's water reserves. I think that's the biggest challenge, solar panels for electricity are pretty attainable atm.
Just because the properties are 'illegal' doesnt mean they are wrong. We need to take away this dogma of 'if government doesnt say its ok then its not ok' , as the government are slowly taking away freedom its very important for us to do things according to what we think is right, and more often, as we tell the government what to do, not the other way around.
Funny presentation. Good information. Always try to remove the rose-colored glasses. I've lived in remote places and there are some wonderful benefits... but think soberly about the negatives. One does "grow" with such experiences and that is a good thing. You'll return a different person than those who never try (The Hero's Journey?...ha!). If you have the ability to do so, try living in a place for at least a month - preferably in one of the worst months (unless you intend such a property to be used part-year). We lived at 8,000' on a wind-swept, high-desert plateau in very remote Colorado as well as in a 200-year old former sea captain's house overlooking the ocean on an island off the coast of Maine (ferry service, only). It is great fun and certainly not for shrinking violets. Be prepared to feel your complete range of emotions... Be bold but be careful and by all means, have fun in your search! Cheers,🍷
Tomatoes don´t grow on Tenerife so the Tomatoes are imported and are tasteless. Hard to believe because it is a warm island. I heard the story that the air is too moist, Tomatoes need a dry climate.
Interesting video. Spain is very different from one region to another one. The main advice is to take a lawyer to assist you in all the steps. My understand is that you were looking for a house to renovate. The issues linked to this « renovation » are the same in every country. Everybody has or would like to do a good deal. As much as you go in the center of country or as far as fo you leave the cost of Spain real estate are cheaper and cheaper but you re often in the middle of nowhere and of course it s not for everybody. Real estate agent issue is the same in every country and it’s not specific to Andalusia or Spain they tell you what you want to hear to my point of view they could not give you technical advice or engineering issues. For the extra works done without a permission if there have more than 5 years then these works like a swimming pool or a garage or an extension become legal and the seller of the house has to pay a penalty. That’s how it goes in the Valencia region. And the end you have acquired a house or not ? Regards
Spain have very good weather! But problem is that there are lots of old ugly homes, they should tear them down and build new ones more attractive! Because the young generation don’t like old history, ugly homes! Only old people like the old stuff!
My personal experiences looking for a property in the Valencia region: 1. The range of houses and apartments is generally very large. 2. The prices, overvalued, far from reality and once again show wishful thinking on the part of the sellers. 3. Why? On the one hand, 80% of these objects are in a desolate condition, similar to barracks. On the other hand, the majority of the properties have never been renovated and if they have, they have been renovated in a very spartan manner and not by a specialist. 4. The expertise, in principle there is no precise with current data, e.g. photos and dimensions as well as classification, i.e. a penthouse apartment is in principle primarily an apartment on the top floor, with predominantly other residential units on the same floor. The only advantage is that you have a roof terrace, just like the neighbors have. 5. Building regulations, particularly important for houses, plots of land are often not or only partially buildable. In principle, the municipalities do not adhere to general guidelines and regulations; there are always changes, even retroactively when the governing party changes in the Ajuntamento. To the detriment of the buyer. 6. Real estate agencies, the agents are 90% useless, bring no added value and have little or no idea about real estate Business at all. Commissions for real estate agencies are not regulated in Spain. 7. Conclusion, there are better countries in the EU to purchase a property.
Anyone thinking of buying a property in Tenerife should know that the first day of owning it they are 15% down on value considering real estate agent commision & taxes.
There's indeed additional fees, but it's not 15% just for the real estate agent. Roughly 10% of fees include also notary fees and legal mandatory fees of moving the property title. This is not just in Tenerife, there are extra fees in many other regions and countries 🙏
@@AxiMolnar 10% taxes & fees + 5% agent’s commission equals 15%. If you buy a 200k property, it will cost you ~220k. If you want to sell it, you’ll be at break even at ~230k price.
As you were talking I thought, what if you get a flat tire? And then you said flat tire🤪. Well, falling as a child is better than as an adult! “Pride comes before a fall” haha, I just thought of that quote… 🙃 goofy! I am glad you didn’t get hurt much!! ❤
I have seen several videos of the Caray Islands and it seems like there isn’t much traffic. Is it because of where you film or is it like that everywhere? And motorbikes (I mean motorcycles)? I am where everyone has at least one! 🤪
I try to film without traffic of course, hehe. Tenerife has crazy traffic, Gran Canaria is ok, La Gomera and La Palma have very little traffic. So it depends on the island 😸

@@JuanMoreno-wo5yb Taxis are expensive!! If you need to go from one village to another, you need a car, definitely. Almost nobody uses taxis here and we all deal with the parking somehow (in the end, you can park a little further away or pay for parking you will find parking at one point). But taxis...I don't think I ever heard anyone saying they use taxis, haha for example, it's cheaper for us to pay the airport parking when we are on vacation than to take a taxi to the airport. 😅

This is such a simple question which has such a complex answer...it depends: on what you want to do there now and in the future? why Fuerteventura? what's your financial status? I can say it sounds like a great idea, but I also don't know any details about your personal situation. Only you can fully decide on this 💖🍀
@@AxiMolnar i guess if someone wants to buy a house/property or apartements, means that person has enough money right? The question relates more on how easy is it to meet right people there and how hard is it going to be on the island as a foreigner (swiss). And yeah i have been traveling around the world and fuerteventura is still one of my top 3 places to live 🤙🤙
