Well, we have to say that this holiday didn’t go quite as planed! But we go home with knowledge we can use later on!
We had made up our mind about a house, even though it was a little over our budget!
In a couple of hours on Tuesday a lot changed and we didn’t know who to trust any longer! There are agents with their office in their pocket (not the best ones) and some really good ones. And the owners changed their mind so we thougth we lost the house. But on Tuesday night we got the chance again so we said yes to the agent with the pocket office!
We have seen 27 home and only this one was as we wanted! We didn’t want to miss that oppotunity.
Wednesday – yesterday was public holiday so we took off to an animalpark! Linneas was very brave and touched a snake and a big blue ara and finally she sat on an Asian elephant!
This morning was scheduled for us to get Spanish ID numbers and we met up with and English man at 6:30 drove to Murcia for an hour and had the document at 10 o’clock. This number is required if you want to buy a house here!
On the way there and back we talked a lot about our situation. The holiday here took a negative turn when Valde ran away, were found and died. It has been hard to keep a good mood.
We have met 9 realestate gagents and only felt odd with 2 of them – the one we had contacted in Sweden and his associated. And it was them who showed us the house we liked the best!
We felt there were something fishy about it all! The price was over the budget and we were unsure how much we will be able to rent it out!
So!….. about one hour ago we phoned the lawyers office, the bank and the pocket agent and said we will not be able to buy this house!
On Saturday we will return to Denmark and Sweden to think about what we learned here and where to go from here! Maybe we’ll be back in the summer on holiday or on househunting, but for now we feel good about our decision!
To day it has been raining raining and raining!! We are hoping for some sun on our last day here and we’re all going to the market to do some final shoping! Tormorrw night we’ll be packing for the flight back home to Denmark and Sweden! MAN! I miss my bed and my kitchen!
