THIS IS A NOT FOR PROFIT AGENCY.
NO CHARGE IS MADE EITHER END. EVER.
IMPORTANT, BOOKMARK THIS PAGE. TO FIND AGAIN.
YOU COULD HELP BY TELLING AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE
ABOUT THIS SITE.
THE REASON
'THE SHARERS AND CARERS AGENCY' HAS BEEN SET-UP IS
BECAUSE A LOT OF THE BRITISH, DUTCH AND GERMAN POPULATION
HERE IN SPAIN ARE GETTING OLDER.
ALONG WITH THIS COMES A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND SOMETIMES THE
ONLY OPTION IS TO SELL UP CHEAPLY AND RETURN TO THE HOMELAND.
FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED HERE A LONG TIME THESE COUNTRIES
WILL HAVE CHANGED A LOT IN 20 YEARS OR SO.
WHAT WE AIM TO DO IS TO GIVE PEOPLE A LOT MORE OPTIONS.
OUR AGENCY IS BASICALLY SPLIT INTO 2 CATEGORIES:-
SHARERS AND CARERS.
THE SHARERS ARE PEOPLE WHO OWN PROPERTY BUT ARE FINDING IT
DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN THEIR STANDARD OF LIVING,
THEY MAY HAVE LOST A PARTNER OR ONE OR BOTH MAY BE
SUFFERING ILLNESS WHICH MAKES IT HARDER TO GO SHOPPING , TO DRIVE,
TO DO THE GARDENING OR MANY MANY OTHER THINGS THAT THEY USED TO DO.
THE SHARERS NEED HELP IN OR AROUND THEIR PROPERTY.
FOR THOSE SERVICES THE SHARERS ARE PREPARED TO LET
PEOPLE LIVE IN THEIR PROPERTY, SPARE ROOM OR UNDERBUILD
IN EXCHANGE FOR PARTICULAR SERVICES OR JUST TO PAY
PEOPLE FOR THESE SERVICES AT A REASONABLE PRICE.
THEY MIGHT WANT TO SELL UP, BUT WHO'S BUYING ?
THERE ARE STILL OPTIONS TO CONSIDER, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT
THERE LOOKING FOR WORK, EVEN TEMPORARY WORK. PEOPLE
PREPARED TO WORK PART-TIME AT VERY REASONABLE RATES PROBABLY
NOT FAR FROM WHERE YOU LIVE.
THERE ARE ALSO PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE PREPARED TO LIVE IN, IN THE
MAIN HOUSE OR FLAT OR IN THE UNDERBUILD AND EXCHANGE SOME OF
THESE SERVICES INSTEAD OF PAYING RENT.
THE CARERS.
ARE A REGISTER OF PEOPLE SOME OF WHOM ARE PREPARED TO LIVE- IN
SOME NOT---------
IN EXCHANGE FOR CERTAIN SERVICES. THIS MAY BE A SINGLE PERSON,
COUPLE OR FAMILY.
EXAMPLE:-
AGREEMENT IS MADE FOR A SINGLE MAN TO LIVE IN THE UNDERBUILD
IN EXCHANGE FOR 10 HOURS PER WEEK OF GARDENING AND OCCASIONAL
DRIVING TO THE SHOPS.
SHARERS AND CARERS AGENCY WILL KEEP A REGISTER OF THESE PEOPLE,
WHAT THEY ARE WILLING TO DO, HOW FAR THEY ARE WILLING TO TRAVEL,
WHETHER THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE IN OR NOT, THEIR REFERENCES
ETC ETC.
THIS WOULD GIVE THE HOME-OWNERS WHO HAD NO OPTIONS, SUDDENLY
FAR MORE OPTIONS TO CONSIDER.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER YOUR SERVICES, SEND ME A
MESSAGE ASKING TO REGISTER, THIS IS FREE.

I WILL SEND YOU BACK A QUESTIONNAIRE.
YOU COULD HELP BY TELLING AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE
ABOUT THIS SITE.

COUPLE OF EXAMPLES:-
SCENARIO 1
COUPLE IN THEIR 70'S HAVE LIVED IN A VILLA FOR 28 YEARS. THE HUSBAND
WAS A KEEN GARDENER AND DID HIS OWN PAINTING KEEPING THE VILLA
TIDY AT ALL TIMES.
THE HUSBAND FALLS ILL HAVING A STROKE, THE WIFE DOESN'T DRIVE. HE
NEEDS TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK WHICH IS A 30
MINUTE DRIVE AWAY.
THE WEEDS KEEP GROWING AND THE VILLA IS GETTING MORE AND MORE
UNTIDY. THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY SOMEBODY TO COME IN TO
TIDY UP THE GARDEN.
THEY HAVE 3 BEDROOMS IN THEIR VILLA AND AN UNDERBUILD WHICH
NEVER GETS USED.
THERE IS A SOLUTION -- THEY NEED SOMEBODY THAT IS PREPARED TO
LIVE IN THE UNDERBUILD IN EXCHANGE FOR WORKING IN THE GARDEN
AND DRIVING TO THE HOSPITAL A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK AND MAYBE
A COUPLE OF TRIPS TO THE SHOPS A WEEK.
FREE ACCOMADATION IN EXCHANGE FOR 10 HOURS WORK, THAT IS A
POSSIBILITY. THERE IS SOMEBODY OUT THERE THAT COULD FIT
PERFECTLY INTO THAT SITUATION.
SCENARIO 2
TWO LADIES IN THEIR 60'S BOTH HUSBANDS HAVE DIED. THEY BOTH HAVE
A VILLA, AND NO REAL FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.
THEY BOTH LOVE SPAIN AND HAVE NO INTENTION OF LEAVING. THEY BOTH
HAVE INTERESTS AND FRIENDS, CLUBS ETC, THAT THEY CAN GO TO IN THE
DAYTIMES, BUT AT NIGHTTIME IT GETS A BIT LONELY.
THERE IS A SOLUTION, THE ONE LADY RENTS OUT HER VILLA AT A VERY
REASONABLE RENT 600 EUROS PER MONTH (150 PER WEEK), SHE THEN MOVES IN
WITH THE OTHER LADY AND PAYS HER 75 EUROS PER WEEK RENT, PLUS HALF
THE BILLS.
IN THIS SCENARIO BOTH LADIES END UP WITH 75 EUROS PER WEEK MORE IN
THEIR PURSES AND THEY STILL HAVE THEIR OWN PROPERTIES.
THEY ALSO HAVE EACH OTHER FOR COMPANY IN THE EVENINGS AND
NIGHT-TIME. THEY BOTH FEEL A LOT SAFER AND ALSO KNOW THAT IF ONE OF THEM
FALLS ILL IN THE FUTURE THE OTHER ONE IS THERE TO HELP THEM.
SCENARIO 3
WIFE AND MOTHER OF 2 CHILDREN LIVE IN A VILLA.
THE HUSBAND WORKS AWAY, 3 WEEKS ON 3 WEEKS OFF.
THE WIFE DOESN'T NEED COMPANY BUT THE HUSBAND IS NOT
COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH THE WIFE AND CHILDREN BEING ISOLATED.
THE SOLUTION AGAIN IS TO EITHER RENT OUT A ROOM OR THE
UNDERBUILD OR FLAT, OR TO EXCHANGE THE ACCOMMODATION FOR
WORK IN THE GARDEN.
10 HOURS IN EXCHANGE FOR FREE RENT IS AN ATTRACTIVE OFFER.
SCENARIO 4
A FAMILY HAVE A VILLA BUT THEY ONLY USE IT FOR ONE MONTH A YEAR.
THEY HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT BREAK- INS AS THEY ARE NOT THERE OFTEN.
SOLUTION IS TO PAY A SECURITY COMPANY TO CHECK NOW AND AGAIN,
OR TO PAY A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL TO DO THIS.
OR LET SOMEBODY STAY ON YOUR PROPERTY WHICH IS ALWAYS THE BEST
SOLUTION, SOMEBODY LIVING THERE.
EXCHANGE ACCOMMODATION FOR SECURITY AND GENERAL GARDENING AND
KEEPING THE PLACE TIDY.
10 HOURS IN EXCHANGE FOR RENT, SECURITY THROWN IN FREE.
IF YOU NEED HELP IN OR AROUND YOUR PROPERTY, LEAVE YOUR
NAME, TOWN THAT YOU LIVE IN AND THE SORT OF SERVICE THAT
YOU REQUIRE. IN THE BOX ABOVE.
WE WILL TRY TO HELP.
