Before you consider buying a property in Spain have a good look at the inheritance tax rules and how they would affect you . I believe it is better to buy in Portugal their tax laws are different especially at your age.

Has anyone had problems getting their snagging done? We are getting the run around between the builder and Sifasa, promising to do the snagging and either not doing it or not completing what they have done. If any one reading this had problems, how did they resolve them? We have paid our money and cannot us this as a lever to get the work done. Our solicitor has been paid and does not seem too eager to ge involved.(so whats new there). We would appreciate any input.

If  the development construcrion over runs by three years and there is a five year developer's guarantee on the appliances which were installed early on in the development. They are still as new and have never been used, when does the developers five year guarantee run out. Is it five years after after occupation or five years after installation? People could be taking occupation and their appliances failing two years after and having to replace them at their own cost and not be covered by the guarantee.

Thanks Markfish. We thought that should be the case. However our solicitor doesn't seem to be overly confident and is giving us no reassurance regarding the legal position. We will be seeking further legal advise.

Thank you very much for your speedy input. We were having thoughts along these lines. Our solicitor is not attached to the developer as far as we know but she is very reluctant to take any action or upset the developer.  We have already  emailed Maria Castro and we are going to contact her again with a view to acting on our behalf.  We hope it all gets sorted out soon as it has been a very unhappy experience for us for the past 4.5 years. Now with the threat of court action and paying his mortgage interest etc this has made it even worse. We know there must be others in the same position who have paid their deposit and are waiting for completion documents.
