Hello guys.
I got a job offer from one of the betting companies and I will be moving to Gib in 2-3 weeks' time.
I am looking for any useful information, although I managed to read so much stuff on the internet, but I am still a little concerned. Biggest issue is accommodation, as the employers said that they won't be providing any assistance in that matter. From what I've read La Linea is the best choice since it's cheaper and only few minutes apart from Gib.
What is the standard cost of an apartment in La Linea and would 400 euro/pcm do the thing? I'm looking for something cheap, but not the cheapest/lowest class accommodaton. I've read on this forum that If you get an apartment in La Linea, you'll need to arrange bills, internet, etc. in Spanish, as people in La Linea would refuse speaking in English. Quite strange , but is that correct at all? How is life in Gibraltar and the surrounding areas? I refused a job in London to go to Gibraltar and it better be good . From what I've seen on the web, it would be an ideal place for me, as I can't stand the UK weather, but of course I don't expect sunshine 24/7.
Can someone clarify what are the rental conditions in La Linea? Do they usually take a deposit and require 2 months upfront or is it different? Also, I am looking to start the rental as soon as I land. Obiviously I will be in contact with the letting agency couple of weeks before I move in, but how long does the procedure take? I am asking because I had some bad experience in Manchester where letting a property takes days or even weeks.
Sorry for the long post.
Any useful comments would be much appreciated. Thank you
