For many families looking to buy property on the Costa Blanca, it  may seem increasingly attractive to simply sell up in the United  Kingdom and move out to Spain permanently. After all, with Sterling's  value plummeting, the Euro is not the cheaper option it once appeared to  be; while it is still relatively easy to buy property on the Costa  Blanca for a very reasonable price, mortgages have increased by around  30% on average, so due to the recession, investing in a second home will  be a lot less feasible to an increasingly large group of Britons.
While  this may kill the dream for many, there are some of you out there who  may take the massive step of moving your family from this grey and  unpleasant land to sunny Spain. This, of course, is not a decision to be  taken lightly especially with a family, so here are some useful tips on  making sure your children are able to have a good education in a  foreign country. When buying property on the Costa Blanca, and with a  family, your first consideration should of course be your children's  education; there is no point finding a dream home, relocating the  family, only to discover your children are deeply unhappy or receiving a  sub-standard level of education.
