Hi there,
I'm considering moving to Gibraltar with my partner as he was born there. I'm a seasoned world traveller so I'll forego the usual simple questions. I've been looking into the local property in Gibraltar for rent, and much of it is, as has been commented, very expensive.
There's much advice saying to live across the border in Spain, but my partner is completely against this as he describes it as "Hell", and trying to tell him that it may have changed and become a more upmarket area since he was there as a child is falling on deaf ears, (he's 29 by the way).
I have no qualms with living in the Spanish area due to the readily available amount of properties as well as their advertised affordability, also I'm from the East End of Glasgow so I'm very used to living in a violent and troublesome environment; however he is dead set on Gibraltar itself. I was wondering if anyone has anywhere they could point me to (online websites or newspapers) that have known advertisements for cheaper property in Gibraltar (we can afford up to the £650pcm mark) for one bedroom accommodation. It doesn't have to be luxury accommodation, just a decent size for two with a moderately updated kitchen and bathroom. I've been looking through pages and pages of property from all different websites but can't seem to find somewhere actually within the Gibraltar area that isn't below £900pcm. Does anyone have advice? My thanks in advance.
