Where is a good area to buy an apartment in chiclana de la Frontera?

HI Tony 

I have a property in Chiclana and it is on land yet to be urbanised. Fortunately mine is on land that is yellow. This means it will be made llegal. Anything built on white land cannot be made legal. White land should not be built on. 

Any property that is connected to mains water is urbanised and legal. 

Rustic land is where my property/house is just on the outskirts of the town. I have  not seen any apartments built on rustic land.

Personally I like the area around the road Fuente Amarga near to town and on right side of river to go to beach. Also not to far from new tram stop and public swimming pool.

Hope this helps

Hi Patricia, 

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes I have been looking at apts just of that road on idealista, they all seem pretty decent and from what your saying the area is contected to the water mains and legal and is not on white land? I have also been looking at an area called "la Soledad". Do you know it? Looks nice. Any thoughts? Also when you are buying a property there, do you have much wiggle room on the price?

I hope that your property is made legal soon for you own piece of mind. 

Many thanks again Patricia and look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Hi Tony

Have no idea about negotiation on price no doubt it depends on demand and sellers need to move quickly or not.

As you know the Spanish do like to declare lower prices than the original, and pay under the counter difference. Less taxes up front but more when you come to sell. Not sure if they still do it. 

Most areas in Chiclana are good. 

I just think being near the town and towards the beach is a good location.

Hope you find what your looking for. The area is really nice and the people friendly.

Patricia

Thanks again Patricia. 

Will be going down in the very near future to take a look around.

Morning Tony,

My Spanish wife and I moved from London a year ago to set up our Architectural Practice and recently purchase property in the heart of Chiclana. We used a small local letting agent and were surprised with their fees, but thankfully we negotiated a reduced fee. It is one to keep an eye on typically ranging between 9 to 12%. A word of warning, before you purchase a site, make sure the land in legal, which is a very hot topic here in Chiclana, and your best place to find this information is in Ayuntamineto Chiclana, Chiclana {Planning Office} or alternatively the link below.

The below link although in Spanish correctly illustrates the properties current and future status, for instance some properties are consider yellow which are to be legalsied in the coming years, but a word of warning a couple of year could be 20.

Hi Adrian, 

Thanks for getting back. 

I am currently looking on line for an apt there, just a two or three bed. Is there whole apt blocks down there that have have been illegally built? 

The agents fee, 9-12‰ and then you pay 10% in tax as well? 

Thanks again Adrian

Tony. 

Good morning Adrian,

We came across your post recently as my husband and I are looking to relocate to Spain within the next few years and are particularly interested in the area of Chiclana.

All the information on here has been incredibly useful in helping educate ourselves for when the time to move comes. 

Having checked out the link you posted, there is indeed a lot of council and land information however we have been unable to find any specific visual information highlighting the different areas which would be white vs yellow land.

We have seen a property that we are very interested in (on the Calle del Arroyo), and it would be useful to be able to see this on a map of sorts.

If you know where we might be able to find this information, it would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Catherine & Peter
