Hi, Very interested to see the note you put on preloved re Gran Canaria. We have holidayed there for many years, since the Yumbo Centre was a hole in the ground. We are in fact going back in September for a couple of weeks. It has always been our intention to retire to Gran Canaria but my real question is is the price of property there prohibitive so should we even contemplate it. We will sell our property in the UK so it will be a commitment but with the UK property slump the amount of capital will be severely limited. Are we likely to be able to buy anything for about £180,000 or would mainland Spain be more sensible on that sort of buget. Hope you dont mind me " picking your brains " The planned move would be in 3-4 years time.
Kind Regards Mike

Hi! Mike, I dont mind you picking my brains at all.
The time you came Well it is totaly different here now, There is meloneras, and Playa Mogan all new and built up now, And puerto Rico as well, But as you know places get tired and worn out after 20 years Puerto rico and Playa del ingles are about to be renovated and updated, In about 2 to 3 years, they will be like new again.
Prices well things are changing rapidly with the recession. You can get a one bed apartment in Puerto Rico from 75.000 euros right now.
It depends if you want to retire to a place and live in it yourself. Or you will be looking to rent it out. Wether then you need to buy in a residential or tourist situation. I bought an old wreck FINCA.to renovate about 7 years ago. we are constructors here. building new apartments and renovating old apartments all the time. My email here is barbara@playamogan .es feel free to ask me anything you like.I will help you all i can it is scary at first moving countries. Not knowing anything. Will you be wanting to work etc? or just retire. I chose the countryside to live in so i could grow my own veg etc all year round. We decided against Mainland spain because of the weather, crime there etc. We have a lovely life here and feel so safe, The weather is more or less the same all year round, we have two brand new state of the art hospitals here, And the local doctors is 24/7 staffed with doctor and nurse all the time. For more email me.
Regards, Barbara
