What advice to expats in Bilbao have about housing?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living in Bilbao about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"Expats in Bilbao, Spain, advise that it's essential to research the different neighborhoods in the city before deciding where to live. They suggest that areas like Indautxu, Abando, and Deusto are popular among expats due to their central location and proximity to amenities. They also recommend hiring a local real estate agent to help navigate the housing market, as they can provide valuable insights and help negotiate rental or purchase prices. Expats also suggest visiting potential homes in person before making a decision, as pictures can sometimes be misleading. They also advise to be aware of additional costs such as utility bills, community fees, and taxes, which may not be included in the rent. For those looking to buy property, expats recommend seeking legal advice to understand the buying process in Spain, as it can be quite different from other countries. Lastly, they suggest learning some basic Spanish or having a translator, as not all landlords or real estate agents may speak English," commented one expat who made the move to Bilbao , Spain.
