Welcome back to the Valencia Property podcast – your monthly dose of property talk, Valencia insights, and this month, something completely different.

We're wrapping up what's been another record year for Valencia Property, and I'll take you through exactly what's been happening in the market: who's buying, what they're looking for, and why Valencia continues to be the smart choice for international buyers, particularly Americans who now make up our biggest client group.

But before we get into all that, we also have a brand new feature – a knockout quiz about Spain. Paul and David go head-to-head testing their knowledge on various aspects of Spain. I won't spoil who won, but let's just say there were some surprising gaps in knowledge and a few tense moments as bragging rights were at stake. It was genuinely a lot of fun, and we'll be making this a regular fixture.

We've got our second-ever sponsor – the magnificent Almuerzo – hear more about that on the pod and I also need to address the technical chaos we've been dealing with over the past couple of weeks. You may not have noticed it, we most certainly did!

So settle in, and let's get started.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Valencia Property podcast. Remember that today's episode is sponsored by Paella. Yes, the dish. Paella wanted to sponsor us because, and I quote, "We've been bringing people together around a shared pan for centuries, and apparently that's your whole philosophy about community and Spanish living." Fair point, Paella. Fair point.

Today we talk about buying as an individual rather than a company, mortgages on Spanish property and work life balance in Valencia before taking a look at Zebra Blocks and new architecture and whether they work in new neighbourhoods in and around Valencia. Links mentioned in the podcast today: Mortgage Direct for your financing needs.

Welcome back to the Valencia Property podcast. Today as usual we’ve got a packed episode covering medium-term rentals, a key money-saving tip for buyers, the rise of coliving, and why ‘it depends’ is the answer to so many questions. Plus, we’ll break down the latest updates to Spain’s visa process—because yes, things have changed again and we'll talk about that pesky proposal to introduce a 100% tax for foreign buyers on Spanish property and why it probably won't happen
