I have just received the pictures of this rather excellent attic flat which I went to see last week. It is currently 1.5 bedrooms as one of them converts into a part of the large open plan living room and there is a kitchen and bathroom with jacuzzi bath. The terrace is over 20m with great views over the city. Take a look at the pictures at the link

What taxes should you be paying as a homeowner in Spaim
Interesting blog about taxes in Spain including the following. You should know what you need to be paying.
"No Inheritance Tax is payable if the property is owned by a UK company, since even if a shareholder dies, the company can continue in existence and the shares passed on to a beneficiary under UK rules."Graham

Graham tells us why work in Spain must change | The CV35 English speaking people in Valencia, Spain
This guest blog was written for the CV35 website last year by me and examines current problems with employment and entrepreneurship and business growth in Spain and looks at some ideas to address them.
Graham writes: “I thought I would start this little article on work in Spain by telling you a few salient facts about Spain:”
Work in Spain
1. Unemployment currently stands at 22.9%. I estimate a rate of 25-26% within a year if nothing is done due to the swinging cuts being proposed.
2. To set up your own business costs an initial monthly cost of at least 450 Euros with an on-going monthly cost of 350 Euros, even if you do not require office space or a place of work. Compare this with the UK where self employment costs 120 pounds per year or Holland where it is 240 Euros per year!
3. If you are self-employed, you do not qualify for any unemployment benefit if things don’t work out.
4. Entrepreneurs risk everything on starting up a business because if the business fails then they are labelled failures and never again will they be able to get funds for a second attempt – as they are placed on the credit blacklists for the rest of time.Most business successes are born out of previous failure. It is highly unusual for someone to hit a home run first time out. The penalties for failure are too onerous in Spain and discourage experimentation. People stick to proven formulae rather than trying something new.
