Help to find longterm rental in Nerja please

[YummyMummySafiya]

Hello forum!

Me and my hubby and two children are planning to move over before Christmas, we have decided Nerja seems ideal for us but we could do with some help find a 2-3 bedroom with air con longterm rental - were not planing in going back to browns 'rip off' Britain A pool would be a nice extra but most imprortant is ADSL (for my work) and having British Sky TV, our budget is 600 euro's but hopefully we can find somewhere much cheaper than this. We need to be close to everything as we both don't drive

If any one in Nirja can help me out with some links where the best places are to find somewhere or if you know anyone with properties can you let me know, also if you have advice on Nirja itself.....great

Thanks

Hi, you just need to put "Nerja property rentals" into google and loads of stuff comes up, I think for 600 euros you may find something that has your requirements. but I dont think you'll get much change. I dont know how prices compare to my area (I'm about 100 km away from Nerja). but here you'd struggle to get a 2 bedroom house with a pool for 600 euros. That said, rental prices are going down. I dont know what the state of play is with ADSL, most towns have it. What you need to do is have a look at google and phone some of the Nerja agents up and they will be able to advice you . Dont go getting pushed into anything tho, agents are quite desperate at the moment.

Your next step would be to come over and take a look!

I agree with you about "Browns Britain", but economically its no better here - even the weathers dreadful, its rained for almost a week non-stop LOL!

lol!

thanks for the reply Jo, well a pool is not essential to us as long as the property is nice enough inside it will do fine. seen a few apartments for going 400 euros but would like to find a recommended estate agent/landlord.

I cant help with that as I say I dont know the area or the estate agents. I dont think anyone on here is near Nerja, but someone may have some knowledge?????

Try phoning some and see what you think ????

Hi there and welcome to the forum,

I have been to Nerja and thought it was one of the better parts of the Costa, its essentailly divided into parts, 1 is more Spanish and the other is like little Britan.

I much preferred the Spanish version myself, but each to their own.

You should find a suitable property for 600 Euros a month without any trouble, but if you go through an agent it will obviously cost you more - just a thought

Thats not necessarily the case. I've met a few agents round my way and some take a finders fee, which is usually one months rent, some take the first months rent from the owner, so you as a tennant pay nothing and yes some take a percentage of the monthly rent, although IMO thats rare. Also there are benefits by having a good agent, they can negotiate the costs etc, they organise the rental agreement and our agent arranged our NIE numbers, schools, acted as an interpreter with our land lord, helped get our car and paperwork sorted out, our ADSL, telephones etc...... and was there for us if we had any queries or problems
