There is no substitute for experience when buying a home in Spain so rent a villa for at least a couple of weeks in the area in which you have identified to buy your property. This way you soon get to know the advantages and disadvantages of the locality you have chosen to live in. Allow yourself plenty of time not only looking at properties but also the countryside, villages and towns along with local shops and markets. Also make friends with the local people who can offer you invaluable advice on the local area.
When looking at properties remember some important facts. Link, Terraced and town houses are normally on two floors and are usually cheap and easy to resell but often lack privacy. Corner properties or Duplexes are again normally cheaper but are normally used as holiday homes and can often be noisy were as detached properties normally offer more privacy. A country Finca can give you that get away from it all feeling but make sure you are not taking on a lot of work and expense instead of relaxation. The most popular community properties such as urbanisations some with shared areas with the cost of maintenance split between everyone.
Wherever you decide to buy your property in Spain remember the Location is very important.
