Moving from the UK to Spain: What It’s Really Like – First-Hand Insights from Lisa Frain Real Estate

Dreaming of swapping the grey skies of the UK for the year-round sunshine of Spain?   

At Lisa Frain Real Estate, we know exactly how it feels — because we did it ourselves! Here’s everything you need to know about moving from the UK to Spain, from the practical steps to the emotional journey.      

Why So Many People Are Moving to Spain from the UK

The Costa Blanca and Costa Cálida have become some of the most popular destinations for British buyers. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, beautiful beaches, delicious food, and a relaxed pace of life, it’s easy to see why.   But it’s not just about the lifestyle — Spain also offers:  

1. Excellent healthcare and education systems  
2. Lower cost of living compared to the UK  
3. A welcoming international community  
4. Easy access to airports with frequent UK flights  

Our First-Hand Experience

When Lisa and her family moved from the UK to Spain, it wasn’t just about changing countries — it was about creating a new way of life. From finding the perfect home to adapting to a new language and culture, the process was both exciting and rewarding.   

Now, with years of experience living and working in Spain, we help others do the same — making the move easier, smoother, and more enjoyable.      

What to Expect When You Move

Moving abroad is a big step, but with the right help, it can be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.   Here’s what to keep in mind when relocating from the UK to Spain:   

Finding Your New Home   

Choose your location carefully — whether you want coastal views, a golf community, or a quiet inland retreat, the Costa Blanca has it all. Our team can help you find the home that fits your needs and lifestyle.  

Sorting Out the Paperwork   

From NIE numbers to bank accounts, we guide you through every stage of the legal process. It may seem complicated at first, but we’re here to make it simple.   

Embracing the Lifestyle   

Enjoy local markets, Spanish fiestas, and the friendly community spirit. Many expats say they feel more “at home” here than they ever expected!
