Hi Steve , always great information thanks, can you tell me please? After buying the property, what are the taxes ? Local , residential , insurance, water , bin , property taxes annually, I’d appreciate any info as it’s either a apartment or a campervan, thanks
What a beautiful drive through the Pyrenees to Spain. I will do that one day soon. Gracias amigo.
Torreviaja, Cartagena, Ameria. ty Dave
I remember seeing you last year I think talking about moving to Thailand. Well done on a brilliant purchase ❤
Yes! Thank you! 😊👋
Hi Steve will you be doing more videos .wee enjoy your adventures👌June & jack
Hi guys, thank you so much! I'm having a break but I'll be back 😊
Bleedin’ deadly!!!
👍
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks 😊👍
Hi Steve I'm moving to Spain Tuesday. Same place as you. Torevieja. I'm hoping to find long term let and if I like it there view sum properties as I want to retire there. Would be great to meet one day. Peter.
Best of luck!
really good helpful video steve , im flying to same place thursday morning for mr top teeth on 6 implants staying at hotel tsarko
Best of luck 😊
Hi Steve, Hope all is good with you in Villamartin your new Home, Any videos coming up soon?
Hi Phil, thanks for asking. At the minute I'm not sure if or when I'll be making videos any time soon. I've lost the motivation to continue at the minute. If or when I resume I think I'll probably change direction. I basically ran out of ideas and hopefully I'll get a bit of inspiration at some point 👍😊
I moved to Thailand from Ireland 🇮🇪 12 years ago. If I didn't have a Thai family, I would move to Spain in a heartbeat. No visa bull shit, no 90 day reporting to immigration, no Monsoon.
I'm just back yesterday, 8 was in Jomtien. I had a great time but I'm glad to be back in Spain! 😊
You get bang for your buck in Thailand.
You do, if you try you can survive on very little 😊
That wouldn't happen in Thailand.
No, I don't think so
greetings from a nwe subscriber😀 Which agency do you use to find appartment in Torrevieja?
Hi www.5real-estate.com/
Where would you recommend buying a house for 150k mate ? Iv been a few times to the region but found some areas neglected by the council. Shame because they could be so beautiful.
My favourite area and one of the best maintained urbanisations I have seen is Villamartin. 😊
@@TheRamblingIrishman cheers mate ill look further into it.
Cheap golf join abbey tavern golf group / team/ club dirt cheap when they play
Thank you, I will look into it! 😊👍
Primark are an American company 😊
Good to know!
Over the last few years I tend to go to Fuerteventura in the canaries in January - I can usually rent an AirBnb with a few beds in case any family want to come over. I have a houseful of students who are 'on between' jobs so I'm not free to up sticks completely yet. I'm fortunate in having dual British & Irish nationality and passports, but what really puts me off is the fear of it being too hot in the summer! Much as I hate the English winter I wouldn't want to be uncomfortably hot for months either! when I was young free and single I want on a trip to Thailand, Malaysia & Singapore on a guided trip and we visited Koh sumi & Phuket - I went in August which was fine - usually nice short sharp warm rain showers in the morning and fine until the next day..My research on Thailand is telling me that property prices are relatively overheated there compared to neighbouring Vietnam / Cambodia etc - they might be worth looking at. Thanks for the video and the sensible info - good luck with whatever you choose to do - Slainte!
Thanks and glad you enjoyed. I'm in Thailand at the minute and it's definitely warmer here than Spain was in my opinion. The really hot Spanish weather lasts mainly through July and August. It's also not as humid as Thailand. I hope this is of some help 😊
What about taxes? If you have an Irish passport do they tax you on pensions? Also doesn't an American with an Irish passport have to have private health insurance? If you buy that from the U.S. it is extremely pricey for those of retirement age.
Hi, taxes are different for everyone depending on your situation. A proper tab accountant keeps me right. As fot the Irish passport, I can't see what difference being American would make. If you have an Irish passport then your a legitimate European citizen. Being American shouldn't come into it.
I've never been to Alicante. It looks great. Jeez that Guinness! They must've taken it at the first pour 🤣. Oooooooh what can the bucket list thing be ???? Waiting in Anticipation. Catch you soon 😁👍
It has a really nice centre and harbour but a bit rough on the outskirts! When they brought the Guinness it was almost 50/50 😂
interesting ! it would be nice to have all the figures that you mentionned written on the description , to have a better vue of all the fees .... on the vid , it s difficult to memorize and to understand also sometimes ... ( irish accent lol ) .... YT
Good idea!
Nice video again Steve! My daughter and family are coming over begin of October and we will definitely visit Alicante!!
Yeah there's a lot to see and do! 😊👍
Are you from Belfast?
I am 😊
Nice
😊👍
Always good to hear from you, Steve. Keep the vids coming, please.
Thanks, will do! 😊
Another good interesting video, could I bring a Dog on walk with me, later in year when I bring transport out with me😊
Yes you can! 😊
I stayed in on that street with the flowers in Santa Cruz, from the rear l had a spectacular view of the city. But if l sat out front to escape the heat then not 5 mins would pass without somebody asking me to move so they could take a pic of the house. Er, nope. 😁 I use the castle walk daily for exercise to offset my beer intake, l love Alicante & arriving Oct 6th, can't wait.
Wonderful 😊
Was there 2 weeks ago, hot but lovely place, thanks
Your welcome 😊
Great video Steve, love a day out in Alicante, always find something new every time we go. Enjoyed the music & the scenery.... Thank you 😁 Can't wait to see what you've got in store 🤔. Have a good week hasta pronto 🍀
Glad you enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to making the next one 🤣👍
Listen, I enjoyed that, I do like a day out in Alicante, last time we went was to see the Terrocota Army in the museum.... Fantastic!! Bit too hot for us at the mo, we will be out & about come October 😅 I can't wait to see ya next video Steve, 🤔🤔. Ohhhh what could it be.? Have a lovely week fella, hasta pronto 🍀
Thanks mate 😊👍
I was living in Alicante before. Great city. There is a elevator thar goes from the sea side up to the castle as well.
@@ninaanetteassarsson4328 it's beautiful 😎
Thanks for that.Alicante is a stunning city, nice to meet up with old,good friends.
It is indeed 😊
Very helpful. Any plans to do a newer version now that u settled in Torrevieja. How much are community charges on those complexes with community pools etc
Yes, it's on my to do list although I want to give it a bit more time til I've really settled! 😊
Hello !!! All done ! ❤ I am so so happy with my teeth ! they are so beautiful! I went for BL1, it’s a shame I can’t show everyone ! They did ask if I wanted to do a short video for them but I was a bit all over the place right there and then.. The reception is all downstairs now ( the bit at the side where they were building ) and just the consulting rooms upstairs. Thanks for all the time you took to reply to me etc, much appreciated! oh and I did end up having 4 injections as I had to have some screws changed 😅 Anyone reading this, if I can do it, anyone can.. I was absolutely terrified but the people here are so patient and kind. I loved Bulgaria and Bulgarians too. A huge thanks to all at Sofia Implant.. I still cannot believe it’s over, and how beautiful my teeth are! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm chuffed for you, well done 🙂
That's such a shame about your bike get a Kryptonite lock , you need to have 2 locks unfortunately or keep it on your balcony .
I've gotten a kryptonite lock alarm a padlock and I'm keeping it in the apartment lol, trying to take no chances 😊
Do you have access to any swimming pools in the area?.
My complex has several with one beside my apartment, it's perfect 😊
🎉
@@Steve-zc3rg 👍
Good video as you say some things especially some groceries are more but some a lot less
Very true!
just found your vlog brilliant brings back many happy trips in europe will follow on your journey.
Awesome, thank you! 👍😊
Health insurance?
I don't need health insurance. I'm an EU citizen and I have the SIP card. So no expense!
Perfect place , everything you need and a great price !
It really is! Thanks 👍😊
Appt looks great. Very good wifi too, your all setup now. Just came across the channel now so ive subscribed and have given it a like.
Thanks for the sub! Welcome to the channel 😊👍
Nice video, bit depressing watching it with a slate grey UK sky outside. 😁 I'd like one of those bikes but l'm only 60 so not for a while yet. 😉
Thanks 😊
Steve, I answered your reply in last message I sent you :)😊good luck
Awesome thank you!
Hi Steve, I found that interesting.... For sure ya wee bike is sexy 🍀 I understand your new to the area.... but I've been looking for a back way to get to El Capitán beach 🏖️. I'm coming from Rojales and I try to avoid N332 as much as possible. I drive past the front of Torrevieja hospital and then end up on N332 from there on. I know how to get to le zenia boulevard, cutting through Los altos, which is quicker ... I am sure you must be able to get to cabo roig roundabout, avoiding the N332. We have tried a few times going home, but got lost 😅 ended up in Villa Martin and San Miguel which I recognised on this video 😅. Any ideas? We will keep on trying as we love that small cove.
I'm rubbish with road names and stuff like that. I rely on Google maps for anything I needs lol. Sorry I couldn't be more help 😊
@@TheRamblingIrishman I will find a way 😉.. It's not a bad place to be lost in after all. Have a good weekend my friend 👍
I really enjoyed this video Steve, being able to look around the different areas is great. I'm planning on moving over next year but unsure of which area would be best to head to, I've been binge watching your videos 😅 and they're really helpful.
That's brilliant, really glad that your enjoying my videos and that they are of use to you? More to come 😊👍
Hello there Steve, You mentioned you are in your new home around six weeks now :) congratulations btw. I’m also from NI and my question is when will you be applying for your residency to live in Spain as you are still under the 90 day rule, I Know health insurance is needed at the time of application and bank details of the amount needed to be there as an Irish/EU citizen. But hope when you go through this stage you will bring us with you in knowledge only, Been watching you from before you set off from beautiful NI. 😊You are almost there having your NIE number to buy your home and car if needed just waiting on your last stage.🎉
Yeah I'll be covering everything as it happens. I have sex months to apply for residency which I will be sorting our around November. Also, my car insurance only covers me for six months in Europe so I'll be getting it re-registered at that time too. 😊
@@TheRamblingIrishman Steve can you please have a wee look at this again, I am very sure after the 90 day (3 month) you must get your residency certificate or return to your home country. I’m only saying this because you mentioned 6months and you would look into it come November but you can be sent back for not applying either before or day after the 90 days. Just a wee hands up, I had another look and twice read the same thing three months from the day you arrived in the country (Spain) you can update me :) been down your way many’s the time beautiful area good luck and the bike is fantastic:)
Thanks. I'll have another word with my solicitor.
Brilliant 🤩
I would certainly do that!! as mishho9831 is correct...you must leave the country after 90 days if you are not an EU citizen, and can only return again 90 days later....I think they could deport you otherwise, it doesn't matter if you own property or not.
Steve, I've been watching your channel for a while now and I've decided to do what you're doing , am 50 now and me n the wife are separating but I've one question is it lonely and if so what are you to get over it 😂 .
Hi, it's great that my videos help! The question of loneliness is a difficult. We are all different. I've never beenarried, I've no kids and always enjoyed being a single person and never had a problem when not dating. I would say that the one thing that is very important is that you get involved in activities and hobbies. I keep myself fairly busy and it keeps any loneliness at bay. I hope this is of some help. 👍
@TheRamblingIrishman thanks Steve. Yeah, it's a lot of help. Keep up the good work on the videos, and maybe we'll meet up for a coffee when I am over there .
Great video. I think that if you can map and film good cycling routes those videos would be popular
Thanks for the idea! 😊👍
I've looked for cycle routes around Torrevieja on UA-cam before and couldn't find much. Best of luck Steve and keep going
Great video , loved the drone shots , we fly over this week to our place in La Florida, we love Villamartin. We have just bought some bikes how safe is it to leave them when you go to the beach , or to the supermarket or shops we have bought a lock same as yours so hopefully they will be safe once they are locked up. 👍👍
Thank you 😊. Yes, if you have a good quality lock, secure the lock around a fixed part of the bike to something secure and in a place where there are plenty of people! I'm now very careful 👍
I cycle all over Spain & most of the time don't worry, but in big cities & on the coast l lock up my bike, then l lock the front wheel to the frame then l take my seat with me. You might laugh but if l was in Barcelona or Malaga right now it'd take me less than 5 mins to find a locked up seatless bike. 😁
