When someone decides to move to a new country it is a big decision to make. The attraction of a new life, warm weather throughout the year and a beautiful stress free life may be part of your dream, But for the dream to turn into a reality takes alot of time and thought to make sure that you are well prepared for the move and have thought through the pro's and con's very carefully.

Many people from the UK and across Europe think that moving to Gran Canaria is easy and just pack their cases and head for the sun with a one way ticket. Others sell their homes and belongings at the earliest opportunity without thinking about what may happen if they dont actually like it here after 3 months.

Over the past three years, we have been involved in the advice and support of those coming to the Island and seeing there dreams all crumble when they realise that they were not as prepared as they should have been.

We are therefore working on some new advice and information packs for those wanting to move to gran canaria and make it there home, full of real facts and real situations, afterall, even Revd Paul and his partner who moved here 3 years ago have faced the pitfalls themselves as have many others. So the advice that we are giving will prepare you for all eventualities so that a move here will be successful rather than a disappointment.

As these pages evolve we will offer advice on

• How much money you should have saved to move here
• Accomodation
• Finding a Job
• Taxes and Social Security
• Becoming a Resident
• Healthcare
• General Advice and information
• New Residents support groups

In the meantime, if you are thinking of moving here, please email us with your questions and our team of advisers will be happy to advise you
