The complete guide to buying property in Spain

Abstract:

Climate and the cost of living have fuelled an increasing interest in the purchase of property in Spain. Prices have risen over the last four years in the order of 15 per cent per annum. There are however rules and regulations governing property purchase that are particularly, perhaps peculiarly, Spanish. These need to be understood by any prospective purchaser. This book aims to provide a step-by-step guide for the would be purchaser to avoid the pitfalls and does so in straightforward understandable English.

The publishers have established a reliable formula for presenting the information through earlier publications. This work follows that formula, with chapters addressing such issues as choice of location; information on the regions; rental or purchase; mortgages and finance; buying or building; heating and other utilities; letting and selling; education and health; working and setting up a business in Spain; plus the all important and perhaps often overlooked questions of Spanish inheritance laws and the taxation of capital.

The book includes a useful vocabulary and such practical details as contact addresses, flight information and maps.

The work is an essential guide to all those seeking to purchase property in Spain.
