Words & Phrases from AngloInfo

After having finished my blog on short stays in Valencia City, I just found a gem for property hunters of all stripes. The Valencia ex-pats at Angloinfo have compiled a helpful list of words and phrases that would aid in home searches (long/short term rentals, even buying) if you were looking at the classifieds in the local paper.

The Angloinfo is just a list, sans pronunciations.

For a list with excellent information on many of the terms, try this vocabulary with explanations from Euroresidentes.com. Spain and the US sometimes have a very different angles on aspects of renting and buying. I found it fascinating, and realized it could save us time, money, and aggravation. Please take the time to ingest what is relevant to you–tastes delicious!
