There's a lot to catch up on!

Hello Again,

We are into June and summer has most certtainly arrived as the beach bars have opened and everyone is obsessed with tax season (Cut off date in Spain is the 30th of June) We even wrote about these twin obsessions at this time of year on our substack (You may even learn a new word). Quite a lot of posts and properties have gone out recently that are worth a read and a look at, so here's a substantial roundup. The properties are last but definitely not least.

On The Podcast

The latest Valencia Property Podcast talks about Pets, Property Taxes, Payments and Renovations. Well worth 17 minutes of your time so grab a coffee and listen up!

We also put together a comprehensive FAQ covering the questions we get most often. It's a long one, but it's designed to be dipped into and saved for future reference when you have questions rather than read start to finish: The Ultimate Valencia Property FAQ Compilation
