The house is a 2 bed room semi-detached bungalow with garden and swimming pool on "Chipmunk Mountain" in Caleta de Fuste. The services that I'm looking for are pool cleaning - weekly. Garden tidying - probably monthly, key holding to allow access for maintenance and emergencies and possibly internal cleaning on an occasional basis.

I prefer to use an established company rather than a "friend doing a favour" so there is a proper agreement in place and everyone knows what is needed and expected.

I live in the UK and get out here 2 or 3 time a year for 4-6 weeks at a time.

All recommendations gladly received.

Thank you

Announcing the move, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said the "unprecedented" measure was necessary to meet the country's housing emergency.

"The West faces a decisive challenge: To not become a society divided into two classes, the rich landlords and poor tenants," he said.

Non-EU residents bought 27,000 properties in Spain in 2023, he told an economic forum in Madrid, "not to live in" but "to make Money from them".

"Which, in the context of shortage that we are in, [we] obviously cannot allow," he added.

The move was designed to prioritise available homes for residents, the Spanish prime minister said.

Sánchez did not provide any more details on how the tax would work nor a timeline for presenting it to parliament for approval, where he has often struggled to gather sufficient votes to pass legislation.

His office described the proposed measure as a way to limit the purchase of homes by "non-resident non-EU foreigners". In Spain, people are classed as non-residents if they live in the country for less than 183 days in a single year.

It added: "The tax burden that they will have to pay in case of purchase will be increased up to 100% of the value of the property, in line with countries such as Denmark and Canada."

The Spanish government said the proposal would be finalised "after careful study".

The total number of sales to foreigners, including people from inside the EU, makes up around 15% of the Spanish housing market - that's 87,000 out of 583,000 sales in 2023 - according to the Spanish property registry.
Simon Creed of Azahar Properties, who has been selling homes in the Valencia region to Britons, Americans and other non-EU citizens for over 22 years, said the proposal had been the talk of property professionals in the area.

Currently buyers in Valencia, non-residents and Spanish citizens alike, pay 10% transfer tax on the property's value. This figure varies with region.

"Naturally who wants to pay 100% purchase tax for buying a property here," he told BBC News.

"The Brits have always been big buyers here in Spain, but obviously it is going to increase the buying power of EU citizens like the German, French and Belgians, so it doesn't appear to be very fair just to isolate non-EU buyers."

He added: "Something needs to happen to increase the amount of houses coming onto the market, but this is an extreme proposal."

Antonio de la Fuente, managing director at Colliers International Spain, told BBC World Business Report he did not think 100% tax would solve the housing problem.

"We all agree we are in a problem of not enough supply and we need to produce new supply to give people migrating from other parts of Spain to big cities like Madrid, Valencia, [and] Malaga a new home.

"But this will be a drop in the ocean in my opinion and there will be other alternatives that will have a higher impact on the housing market."

Prospective British buyers told BBC News the proposal had made them think again about buying in Spain.

Michele Hayes, from Manchester, who spent the weekend house-hunting south of Alicante, had wanted a property for family to visit and to spend time during her retirement.

"We could look at buying quickly before the tax comes in, but we don't know what could happen in the future," she said.

"Selling could be tough if we can no longer sell to non-residents, especially a holiday home property in a touristy area."

The 59-year-old said she empathised with their housing issue, but said she wanted to add to the local economy and asked: "How many working Spanish people want to live in holiday homes in these tourist areas anyway?"

Martin Craven, from London, said he had been looking to buy in Spain this year.

"I definitely wouldn't consider trying to get in before this tax, because who knows what else they could do, a retrospective tax or a tax on existing owners," the 62-year-old said.

"I'll be looking at Cyprus now instead."

Julian, 54, from Surrey, said Spain was his first choice to buy a holiday home, but now it "looks more risky" than other countries.

"I would want to be out there four to six months a year, also travelling, spending Money, buying food and drink, paying taxes," the 54-year-old said.

"Here in the UK, we also have problems with landlords buying multiple properties and driving up the rest, but this policy is losing sight of those of us who want to spend Money in the country. "

It is one of a dozen planned measures announced by the Spanish prime minister on Monday aimed at improving housing affordability in the country.

Other measures announced include a tax exemption for landlords who provide affordable housing, transferring more than 3,000 homes to a new public housing body, and tighter regulation and higher taxes on tourist flats.

"It isn't fair that those who have three, four or five apartments as short-term rentals pay less tax than hotels," Sánchez said.

Meanwhile, in April the "golden visa" scheme, which provided fast-tracked Spanish residency in exchange for buying property worth €500,000 (£428,000) or more, is to be abolished.

Pájara makes available to the Canary Islands Housing Institute four plots in the Ciervo ravine.

These lands add up to a total of 640 meters where around twelve public housing units can be built


The City Council of Pájara has unanimously adopted an agreement in the plenary session this morning for the transfer of some plots located in the Ciervo ravine, in Morro Jable to the Canary Islands Housing Institute.



The three plots of land located in the ravine are equivalent to the total sum of about 640 square meters, where around twelve public housing units can be built.



The First Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Urban Planning, Alexis Alonso, highlights "the importance of the work that has been carried out in this mandate to facilitate, on the one hand, the construction of housing and on the other, to develop investments in the municipality, as well as the public infrastructures that will lead to considerable progress in the coming years".



For her part, the Councilor for Housing, Eva Sánchez, considers it important that "the City Council of Pájara continues in the line of enabling the cession of land and, on the other hand, to build other homes in the municipality since there are investors willing to assign and put these homes at affordable prices".



In this sense, Mayor Alejandro Jorge stresses that "it must be emphasized and highlighted the great work that the technicians of our municipality have done so that we could reach this plenary session and be able to make available to this institution these plots that will lead to the construction of around 12 homes to promote residentiality in the municipality".]]>

The Canary Islands will have a decree law on urgent measures in the field of housing in February.

The Minister of Public Works, Housing and Mobility of the Government of the Canary Islands, Pablo Rodríguez, has said that his department will submit to the Governing Council for approval, during the month of February, the decree law on urgent measures in the field of Housing.
This is an ambitious initiative, which aims to implement a set of instruments in order to make more properties available on the market, and facilitate the construction of subsidized housing from the public and private spheres

This decree includes, on the one hand, instruments that will increase the availability of land for housing, one of the main problems that the Archipelago is experiencing; and, on the other hand, a package of measures to increase the availability of buildings to put housing on the market, since there are currently large holders who have more than 1,400 unfinished properties, linked to the financial crisis of 2008.

It will also be committed to simplifying and speeding up procedures, declaring the general interest and urgency in the construction of public housing, as well as facilitating the transfer of land by local administrations to the Autonomous Community.

Likewise, the decree incorporates the updating of the Canary Islands Basic Module, which has remained immobile since 2003, and which generates an element of brake on public-private collaboration and the bidding of projects, since the increase in construction costs must be considered.]]> Radio Sintonia:

In Fuerteventura for every 100 inhabitants there are 21 holiday places.

In La Oliva, with a trend that does not stop, the ratio stands at 50 holiday places per 100 inhabitants


The numbers do not lie, although it is true that not all the housing problem is holiday rentals, it is no less true that in municipalities such as La Oliva, with 50 holiday places per 100 inhabitants, the data are absolutely devastating for a healthy housing coexistence.



In general, in the Canary Islands the average is 8 places per 100 inhabitants, and it is the second community after the Balearic Islands with these ratios, but what happens in La Oliva, or Yaiza, in Lanzarote, with a ratio of 60 accommodation places per 100 inhabitants, destroys the possibilities of accessing housing on an average income since expulsion from the system is a reality.



Licenses continue to be given for residential properties that are clearly vacations



Although we are all clear that vacations are one of the serious problems of housing on the island, the institutions apply a double standard with what happens. There is a protectionist discourse with the territory and that claims to safeguard the needs of the neighbors and on the other hand licenses are not stopped in rural areas such as Lajares, Villaverde, Tindaya or El Roque that continue to be "fodder for chalets for the vacationist". It leads to situations as Dantesque as there are more vacation places than there are people registered in El Cotillo.


The problem is reaching "complicated" dimensions for coexistence, to the point that the main industry in the area is left without labor because they literally have nowhere to live. In this sense, all the public officials of the last governments are responsible, but to date no one wants, in the municipalities, to "put the bell on the cat". "It doesn't matter, the more licenses they give, the more budget they have for stalls and to organize their things, and so all the land in our towns is consumed," says a neighbor.



Other towns on the island follow the path, such as Triquivijate in Antigua, some scattered in Tuineje, other areas of Antigua, also in Pájara, but it is the north where the problem is greatest and where people have looked the other way for many legislatures. In Antigua, the moment is beginning to worry as there are 38 vacation places for every 100 people residing in the municipality.



These centers are growing lacking infrastructure, and although some localities have doubled their population in the last 10 years, there is still no commitment to a sanitation network or to create recreational areas, or at least sidewalks in the streets.



The government wants a law to stop the nonsense



The Government of the Canary Islands, at the proposal of the Ministry of Tourism, intends to try to organize what the city councils have not done through a law that regulates holiday rentals, but panic took hold of the current rentiers of this modality, who affirm that "the holiday season came to democratize tourism", an issue to be taken into account due to the number of owners who live from this type of rental, with yields well above the average rent in a resident market.



The government, therefore, has plunged headlong into controlling a "seven-headed hydra", which the municipalities have not been able to, or want to control.]]>

New membranes at the El Roque wastewater treatment plant.

In what is transferred as a step towards the preservation of the environment and the well-being of the community, the City Council of La Oliva carried out this week the renovation of the second phase of membranes in the El Roque treatment plant. The initiative, as explained by the City Council itself, seeks to enhance the quality of treated water, a vital resource for the community, especially considering the regeneration of water from El Cotillo.



The El Roque treatment plant, which is presented as key to sustainable water management in the town, has undergone a substantial improvement with the implementation of these new membranes. The mayor, Isaí Blanco, highlighted the importance of this intervention, stating that "the renewal of the membranes in the El Roque treatment plant reflects our commitment to caring for the environment and guaranteeing a quality water supply".

The growing demand due to new constructions in El Cotillo has led the treatment plant to work at the limit of its capacity for much of the year, according to the municipal corporation. Faced with this situation, the City Council is focusing on the future, with an expansion project underway, with a budget of approximately €2,800,000. The Councilor for Public Health, Cristian Rodríguez, stressed the importance of anticipating the needs of the community: "The expansion of the treatment plant is essential to meet the existing need and ensure that we can maintain high standards in the quality of the water that is purified."

In addition, the First Deputy Mayor of La Oliva, Julio Santana, added his voice to the statements, expressing that "La Oliva is strategically moving towards a more sustainable future. This renovation and expansion project are clear signs of our determination to ensure a healthy environment for the municipality." Santana stressed the importance of addressing the needs of the community in a comprehensive and anticipatory manner.]]> Radio Sintonia:

The mayor, Isaí Blanco, highlighted the importance of this intervention, stating that "the renewal of the membranes in the El Roque treatment plant reflects our commitment to caring for the environment and guaranteeing a quality water supply".

The growing demand due to new constructions in El Cotillo has led the treatment plant to work at the limit of its capacity for much of the year, according to the municipal corporation. Faced with this situation, the City Council is focusing on the future, with an expansion project underway, with a budget of approximately €2,800,000. The Councilor for Public Health, Cristian Rodríguez, stressed the importance of anticipating the needs of the community: "The expansion of the treatment plant is essential to meet the existing need and ensure that we can maintain high standards in the quality of the water that is purified."

In addition, the First Deputy Mayor of La Oliva, Julio Santana, added his voice to the statements, expressing that "La Oliva is strategically moving towards a more sustainable future. This renovation and expansion project are clear signs of our determination to ensure a healthy environment for the municipality." Santana stressed the importance of addressing the needs of the community in a comprehensive and anticipatory manner.]]> https://fuerteventura.click/Thread-VV-Licence-paperwork Wed, 13 Dec 2023 14:40:30 +0000 Ducks]]> https://fuerteventura.click/Thread-VV-Licence-paperwork
We are looking to get a VV licence to rent our existing place in Caleta. I've been on http://www.cabildofuer.es/cabildo/ and have the necessary form, including a list of what documents are required to apply. What it doesn't have is any information about what you're supposed to do with it once it's filled in? There's no email or postal address! I've also seen some agents offering to do this as a service, but they have additional documents on their list of requirements which aren't on the official form, so now I'm not sure what's needed.

Went into the town hall today for some info, and the second they heard the words "VV licence" they refused to discuss anything further, just kept saying "You must go to the Cabildo building in the city" and wouldn't entertain any questions, not even about how to make an appointment or if one was needed, or the document that they are supposed to provide for this. I could best describe the experience as "impressively unhelpful".

Has anyone done this process recently and can share any insights? I'd appreciate whatever information anyone has to share!]]>
