Hi there.

I am looking for a small plot of land to situate my caravan, about 400sqm

I would like it along the coast anywhere between Malaga and Alicante

water accessible ideally

I am in Northern Ireland and have found it very difficult to find any land for lease
So any help or advice would be greatly appreciated…
Thanks

Hi Dawnies,
There are plots let privately (is this what you mean? or do you wish to pay a larger sum upfront to have the rights of use for XXX years etc??)

BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL…. The rules/regs on use of land are getting stricter by the week.  If any money changes hands it has to be done legally through a lawyer and make sure you have a watertight (as far as possible*) contract.

*There are many rules on unbuilt land - and you need to make sure you have a good/reputable lawyer to check over all the details for you.  You don’t want to get here, settle in, then find you are illegal on the land for X/Y & Z reason!

Sorry to be a bit pesamistic on this one, but sadly many people have been taken for a ride.

On a positive note - try the property websites here (lots if you google).
We were originally looking to buy a plot to live in caravan, but it was cheaper to buy a house in the end!!!!????

I am guessing if an owner cannot sell in this climate, that you might be able to do a deal on a lease for a fixed term (or with conditions that they give you 3 months notice to move on?)

Join some of the forums out there (look up on Facebook) - Coin, Monda etc have plots available.

Good luck on your move. 

PS - If you get stuck, there are private caravan parks that will rent you space whilst you are looking? (Sometimes better to do it insitu?)

PS ^  The coast along Malaga - Gibraltar can be very expensive!
If you are prepared to go inland - a lot cheaper!!!!
