Spain is one of the more livable places in the world as the country possesses not only the elegance of lifestyle but also the comforts of home living. Andalucia, an autonomous community of Spain, is one of the preferred areas that people want to live in. Andalucia is the second largest from the seventeen communities of Spain and it is the most populous, which just proves that people settle in the place because it is very adaptable to country or city living. Because of Andalucia's size, there are different cities with distinct characteristics that gives people, who want to live in Andalucia, a variety of choice as to the type of living they prefer.

When getting an Andalucia property, it is important to ask oneself two questions. The first one to answer is how you intend to spend your time in the property while the second one is whether the property will be for investment purposes or for pleasure. And in both these questions it is important to always think location. Andalucia has very tempting properties and you might end up buying something you do not really need, that is why you have to check as to the purpose and usage of the property. Location is also very important because it is a determining factor in choosing the right property for you.

However, if you are the type that is very cautious about buying a property outright, it is best to rent out a property that is largely similar to what you are considering in buying in the future. If you are planning to live in Spain for a long period of time for relocation or business, renting may mean the reduction of making costly investment errors especially if after some time, the business fails or you end up changing your mind as you experience Spanish living first hand.

Renting an Andalucia property makes you become familiar with the neighborhood, weather, amenities, accessibility, etc. before diving in actual property investing. It also allows you to meet other foreigners who have made Andalucia their home of choice and be able to share and compare first hand experiences. In this way, you will be able to assess if Andalucia is definitely the appropriate place for living or business, as the case may be.

To be able to get the real feel of Andalucian lifestyle, it is best to rent a property for six months to a year. Although this may seem to be a long period of rental, there are several advantages to this arrangement. One is that you will be able to see how the neighborhood changes as the seasons change. Another is that you will have enough time to choose a property to buy in Spain if it still remains to be an option.

Definitely, renting before buying an Andalucia property proves to be advantageous in the many different aspects in the assessment of the place's livability. It is very important to be able to assess the livability with a first hand experience so that in the end no one gets blamed once a wrong investment is made.
