How Flex Living Can Save You from the Most Common Expat Mistakes in Spain

Moving to Spain is exciting — but let’s be honest, it’s not always smooth sailing. From housing scams to long-term lease commitments, confusing utility setups, and isolation in a new culture, many expats fall into the same traps when relocating.

That’s where Flex Living by Globexs comes in.

Whether you're a remote worker, digital nomad, retiree, or international professional, Flex Living offers a smart, secure, and flexible way to settle into life in Spain — and avoid the common mistakes others often make.

Mistake #1: Locking Yourself Into Long-Term Contracts Too Soon

Flex Living solution: Fully furnished mid-term rentals (1–11 months) with all-inclusive pricing — so you can explore before committing.

Too many expats rush into a 12-month lease in the wrong neighborhood or apartment. With Flex Living, you get the freedom to test the waters before making a long-term decision.

Mistake #2: Getting Overwhelmed by Utility Setups

Flex Living solution: One invoice. No surprises.

Rent, electricity, water, internet — everything is included in a single monthly bill. No setup headaches, no paperwork. You focus on living, not calculating.

Mistake #3: Feeling Alone and Disconnected

Flex Living solution: Live in expat-friendly apartments and coliving communities with like-minded people.

Whether you prefer your own space or want to meet new people, Globexs offers both private apartments and coliving spaces — all in central, safe, and social areas.

Mistake #4: Choosing the Wrong City (or the Right City at the Wrong Time)

Flex Living solution: Move between cities under the same contract.

Start in Valencia, head to Madrid, then spend a few months in Alicante/Elche — all under the same contract. Flex Living lets you explore Spain without getting stuck in a long-term lease.

Here’s how it works:
You simply let the Globexs team know that you’d like to move to another Flex Living apartment — say, in Alicante/Elche — and we’ll handle the housing side for you. We confirm availability, arrange the booking, and let you know when your next place is ready. All you have to do is pack your suitcase and make your way to your new Flex Living home — ready to meet new people and start a new adventure.

Mistake #5: Getting Overwhelmed by Bureaucracy

Flex Living solution: Access to Globexs’ legal partners and relocation advisors.

While Flex Living doesn’t include empadronamiento, you still get access to trusted immigration lawyers and advisors who can guide you through NIEs, residency, bank accounts, health insurance and more.

What is Flex Living?

Flex Living is more than just renting a room — it’s a smart, social, and flexible way to experience life in Spain. Imagine living in a fully furnished apartment shared with like-minded expats and professionals, where you have your own private room and access to common spaces like a living room, kitchen, and sometimes even a coworking area.

But the real magic?

You're not tied down.

With Flex Living by Globexs, you can start your journey in Valencia, spend a couple of months in Madrid, and then move to Alicante/Elche — all under one simple contract.
