Lisboa - Portugal

noreply@blogger.com (HolidayHomeWeb.com) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 07:19:00 +0000

.
Lisbon (Portuguese: Lisboa, IPA: [liʒ'boɐ]) is the capital and largest city of Portugal. It is also the seat of the district of Lisbon and capital of the Lisbon region. Its municipality, which matches the city proper excluding the larger continuous conurbation, has a municipal population of 564,477[1] in 84.8 km² (33 sq mi), while the Lisbon Metropolitan Area in total has around 2.8 million inhabitants, and 3.34 million people live in the broader agglomeration of Lisbon Metropolitan Region (includes cities ranging from Leiria to Setúbal).[2] Due to its economic output, standard of living, and market size, the Grande Lisboa (Greater Lisbon) subregion is considered the second most important financial and economic center of the Iberian Peninsula.The Lisbon region is the wealthiest region in Portugal and it is well above the European Union's GDP per capita average - it produces 45% of the Portuguese GDP. It is also the political center of the country, as seat of government and residence of the Head of State.

Lisbon was under Roman rule from 205 BC; Julius Caesar made it a municipium called Felicitas Julia. Ruled by a series of Germanic tribes from the 5th century, it was captured by Moors in the 8th century. In 1147, the Crusaders under Afonso Henriques reconquered the city for the Christians and since then it has been a major political, economic and cultural center of Portugal. Unlike most capital cities, Lisbon's status as the capital of Portugal has never been granted or confirmed officially—by statute or in written form. Its position as the capital has formed through constitutional convention, making its position as de facto capital a part of the Constitution of Portugal.

Kusadasi courtesy Kusadasi Properties

Turkey is fast becoming a favoured country after Spain for a home abroad.

A company with checking out is Holiday Homes Turkey. They help with location, finance, legal procedure, language, transaction and so on. They also do rentals which will allow one to explore the area, region etc. before committing to any purchase. They also do commercial property - guess you will not need that but it gives one an idea of their capability.

A three-bedroom holiday home is available in Kusadasi - this can be hired while you explore the surrounding area and the region. The owner has a contact address in Somerset, UK.

Worth a check for Kusadasi is Kusadasi Properties. This company is based in Kusadasi but seems capable to deal on international basis. They help with the searching, location, buying process, legal issues. inspection trips and so on. Also deal in land sales.

A slightly larger property developer is Carsons based in UK, comparable to a major housebuilder company. You will receive a lot of information from their website, worth looking at the links on their website. Also check out TurkishHolidayHomes - their head office is in Turkey with a subsidiary in London, UK. Plenty to read and study on their website including weather, legal issues, geography, locations and so on.

Tax & Tourist Authorities - Spain

noreply@blogger.com (HolidayHomeWeb.com) — Sat, 31 May 2008 07:29:00 +0000

This is a warning to all Spanish holiday home owners. Second home owners letting out property have to be registered with Spanish tax and tourism authorities. Failure to do so may cost dearly.
This is from an article at HomesWorldWide. We do not wish to break copyrights of HomesWorldWide so we acknowledge their website and we quote :

"Those people who own holiday homes in Spain to rent out to tourists may be breaking the law.

According to reports on the website thinkSPAIN, tourism and tax authorities are clamping down on unregistered lets and owners face fines of up to €30,000 if they are caught.

All apartments and villas which are let out to tourists should be registered with the tourism authorities, but at the moment conditions are extremely stringent.

Property owners could also face the wrath of the Spanish tax authorities if they are living in Spain and are not declaring rental earnings.

This comes at a time when more and more British home owners in Spain are deciding to rent out their properties in order to offset their losses. Many have opted to take out buy-to-let mortgages so their rental income covers the mortgage payments and provides them with additional income.

But a growing number of holiday home owners are advertising their properties on websites unaware they need a licence from the tourist authorities to do so, and now face heavy fines as a consequence."

You are advised to check with Spanish Tax and local tourist office regards letting out of your second home.
