The Lewis family wanted a modern, 3-bedroom apartment near the beach in Valencia. Buying a property in Valencia as foreigners, with limited time before flying home, looked stressful – until they found MoveSpain.

Origin: California
Purchase Budget: €270,000

3 Bedrooms

The Lewis family, from California, had a clear vision: relocate to Valencia and enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle from a modern 3-bedroom apartment close to the beach.
With a budget of €270,000, they needed an expert team to find the right home quickly, secure the best deal and handle every legal step of buying a property in Valencia as foreigners.
