Thank you - I'm glad!!

Congratulations to you both .May you have many years of happiness in your new home.

I"ve decided I want to move to Spain and I"m so glad I found your channel! This is all so helpful!

Great video. We are currently living in Spain and have spoken about buying. Its so good to see "real" people, giving "real advice" and honestly. Can't wait to see more.

So informative thanks guys! And also ¡felicidades! on your new home it looks beautiful! 😊

Hey! We discovered your channel a while back, as I am an American and my boyfriend is Spanish. We love your videos and I particularly find them comforting to know I am not alone in all my foreign-ness. Then we were watching this video and were like "what! That's our neighborhood they are showing photos of! Do they live in PN?" And a few seconds later of course you confirmed it. We were delighted. I hope we run into each other sometime around the neighborhood. We would love to have a caña sometime.

Hi James. I can't thank you enough for that 18 pages PDF guide. It is super detailed and easy to follow. I bet you put a lot of time and effort on it, so thanks again. We are planning to buy in Spain by 2022, but need to start researching early. You guys are great! 🥰

So helpful!

I love where you chose to live. It's very lively and I love people and hearing laughter and talking. I love the feeling that people are in touch with enjoying life without being disrespectful for the peace and comforts of others.

You guys are so adorable!!!! Love all your information!

James and Yoli, what a great idea helping those who are considering a move to Spain. My sister is in real estate in Florida, and I'm sending her a copy. Enjoyed learning about what it takes to purchase a home in such a beautiful country, and looking forward to part 2.

Felicidades Amigos! Best wishes for great memories in your new home!

Love tuning into your vlogs and I was super excited as this is our hot topic at the moment 👏👏👏 waiting anxiously for part 2 ❤️🇪🇸❤️ x

Very helpful for our (hopeful) move in the next few years, thank you for your content as always!

Great video, keep up the good work! Looking forward the second episode!

Great video and congratulations on your new home. I would also add when looking for a piso in Madrid that buyers would want to keep in mind about wanting or not wanting central heating, north/south or east/west facing pisos, noise levels on busy streets with cafes/bars vs. side streets that are more residential, that it's not so common to find buyer's agents only representing you (you guys did which is great) but often when a buyer calls a listing, the agent doesn't explicitly state that they are representing the seller, so buyer beware and be careful of who the agent is representing and to understand this. If you want an elevator in the building as well. You can ask about the HOA budget to see if the building finances are in good order so you won't be hit with additional HOA (homeowner association) bills for a new building roof etc down the line. That there is enough savings in the HOA find for upcoming building expenses and that the building is up to date on codes etc.

Thank you James. Great video!

queridos Yoly y James - this may be your best video EVER!!!! Especially for those of us who are fantasizing/researching possibly retiring in Spain. besos!

Hey GREAT video! You two are the BEST.

Thank you for being informative and sharing your experience. I find it super valuable! Hopefully in the future i could practically use the guide which you have prepared. Thank you very much!

Fantastic video! Thank you for doing this.

My parents have recently bought a house in the Valencia region (not the city but the region) and its brilliant. You just get so much more for your money if you know what to look for and especially if you are willing to maybe find a property that needs a bit of doing up. Writing this comment from my parents' new place, I really can see myself live in Spain and everything here attracts me. It is the only other place I've felt at home than my home country. This video will for sure help me out in the coming years once I gather the money to by my own place in the area. Congratulations on your new property and hope to see many new and awesome videos (I'm guessing a lot more cooking videos too 😁)!

Hello I wish I had this when I started my search and purchase process in 2014. I made two house hunter trips from the US to Spain before finally finding my current place in 2014. I definitely agree with everything you shared. While I am still a non resident, I wanted to secure my place before retirement. I strongly recommend this as it helps you develop a better retirement budget. I recommend for retirement planning if you are fortunate enough to have your place fully paid off if possible. I’m patiently waiting for part 2. Again thanks so much. You are such a lovely couple.

Hello from Prague, love your videos, this one was very helpfull :)

Hopefully I can convince my husband and we can move out there in Spain one day. It sounds like a dream. Homes in the states are rising at an exponential rate, and since we also work from home and speak Spanish, living in Spain seems like the quality of life looks much brighter...thank you for this video and your excitement excites me!

Thank you guys, great video, so much information, and great advice.

Outstanding video, just what I wondered about

I love your chemistry guys!!! You're awesome and thank you for information 👍

Coolio, so happy for you both, very informative video, you have done your research well, looks great

Great information in this video, keep them coming

Thanks James and Yoli! very informative. Looking to buy a place in Malaga, Marbella or Almeria, so excited! Just found your channel recently and have been going through your videos, love them!

Wow! I’ve never heard you speak so quickly, James! :) Yoly spoke beautifully, as usual. :) Fascinating video. Madrid prices are much, much lower than Vancouver area’s....of course! We have some of the highest priced real estate in the world and in Canada. From what I’ve seen of your ap’t, it’s beautiful and spacious. Can’t wait to see the next video. Good luck on all your endeavours.

And for me, who live in the north of Spain, the prices in Madrid seem high. xD. A house like that in a city without a beach in the north costs about € 70,000.

Thanks guys - good info for renting as well. Looking forward to moving from London to Palma in April '21!

This video helped a lot I am currently looking into buying an apartment in Madrid. Thank you love you guys energy 💕

Excellent info guys thank you!!!

Thank you both so much for your informative and honest sharing experience, it's very helpful and you really changed my plan from buying house in my home country to really considering buying a second home in Spain instead, what a great dream I wish to come true starting from your part 1 video, am looking forward to watch 2nd part to finalise my future plan 😀 You are a great couple as always, wish you both all the best in your new house 👏👌😃

I like your videos. It's interesting to watch them due to you obviously have a plot and know what to say without any "water" and you both are examples for other youtubers ❤

Very good and informative video on buying a house in Spain.

Thank you so much for the amazing and resourceful videos you make

Great video! Many thanks

Wonderful and informative video. Thank you 😊

Excellent information hopefully in the next 5 years we will be purchasing a home in Spain thank you!

Thank you for the extra info 🙏🏼

Thanks for another great video. My wife has been looking at houses in Spain for years. We hope that one day it will happen. Good info here. Cant wait till next weeks vid.

Lol always fun to go back to 2020 and watch/listen about housing prices falling due to covid! Our banks were saying 30% decrease but prices increased 100-300%

Thanks for the video. Cheers mate.

So happy for you and Yoli showing in part your new home. Look forward to the next cooking video too. In Canada usually the selling owner pays commissions to your agent as a seller. Now if another real estate agent provides the lead to the buyer of your home then the selling agent will split the commission and give half of the selling commission to the buying agent. About 5% to start with for selling agent but can be negotiated down sometimes.

Very helpful & honest - good advice, I think, whether you'd be buying in Spain, US or Tasmania... You've been in a while, hope it really feels like home. Happy New Year! 🥂🦘🐾👍😎

Also forgot to say congratulations on your new home. Not a bad price considering your in Madrid you would pay a hell of a lot more than that in some other capital city's take London for instance shocking prices! All the best for you both

Never fear, the housing market will recover. It may take a while, but Spain is a "Destination" for a reason. Investors will drive up the market waiting for the inevitable return to tourism (which will, of course, create it's own issues...). I know I can't wait to get back to Spain! Congratulations on the purchase of your home! I hope it gives you wonderful moments and memories. 🥂 ♥️

Congratulations on this video guys! So interesting and informative! Although I don't know why I am watching it, being 27 y.o. and having low hopes of the future as it's presenting here in Madrid 😂 But you gave some useful advice that I think I'll be able to apply when I (finally) can get on looking for a flat to rent. Also my particular tip for Madrid in particular is that you can also broaden the search for towns outside Madrid but well-linked to it. I live in the mountains, in a well connected town and in less than 1 hour I can be in Sol! Also hell yes for exterior flats, my maternal grandparents lived in Barrio de Salamanca, 1st floor and only had ONE window to the street! All the rest were to 2 different very narrow and dark patios, so be mindful of those kind of flats in old buildings. And congratulations again for your new house! I'll be looking forward to next video 😁

Congratulations Yoli y James.....Tenerife....❤️

This is great and just what I needed! Thank you Yoly and James :) I'm hoping to buy a house in the Cantabrian countryside once this COVID craziness is over, but the thought of doing it alone and as a foreigner, was so intimidating that it kind of scared me away... but this video was more useful than you will know! :) Can't wait to see the next video. Serious question, once I'm in Spain, where does one procure a tiger, does it come free with the hot tub? :)

Hola, best video on the subject by far!!! Thanks a lot lot for sharing a lot of personal information like how much you paid for your place. I am considering buying a property in Spain and you video was helpful beyond words. Gracias

James, Yoly, this is great...like your food videos.!! Fellow antipodean here (from oz), living in germany. Looking forward to a spanish property in coming years. Wish you all the best in getting through this bloody 2020!! :)

Very enjoyable! You have a lovely place !

Gracias. Very helpful

This was really interesting. We’ve bought an apartment in Barcelona. We couldn’t finalise the purchase during lockdown so we stayed in a smaller apartment but it had a terrace and we loved it. Of course the place we purchased doesn’t have one 🤦‍♂️. We’re thinking of buying a second apartment later that has a terrace and we’ll rent out the current one. Lesson learned but I don’t think we would have noticed if we hadn’t had one for several months!

Good luck with your new home! Can’t come home To Spain this year....😪

Very nice couple, and vey good advices. Gracias!!

Excellent. I asked the question (as i'm sure many others did) and boy have you answered it. When the video began I thought "Ah, I need the 2nd part" but there was so much useful information here. Now I have to wait a whole week for the next one 😢 😂😂 Thank you guys.

Thank you so much for this video, I can't wait to see more. We are planning on moving to Spain as soon as we get a vaccine . Can't wait to start a new adventure.

Interesting and informative video. I've been browsing as I'm thinking of retiring to Spain from England in a few years and the thing about the Spanish property market as I see it on Idealista is how inconsistent prices are, maybe because there are so many pivate sellers. I also noticed there are still houses for sale that were built in 2008 at the time of the crash and haven't been lived in yet. Incidentally, some of the ads are hilariously bad, with pictures of the corners of dark rooms or a pile of rubbish or sometimes just a TV switched on.

Wow! so informative. I have been curious about buying a place in Spain but trying to figure how to get started is so daunting. The tips, links and explanations are so helpful. I’m really interested to see what kind of renovations were done for $25k. Muchas gracias!

Thanks for this VERY helpful video and telling us how much you paid. I confess, for that terraced apt. in Madrid, I was expecting it to be higher. Great stuff!

Well done James!
