Maria De Castro.
Can you advise, we have paid our huge deposit and are about to complete, can we just walk away from this, or are we now legaly bound. We are getting very nervous about completion hearing all this.

I have to admit that I am astonished about the Spanish Governments attitude here...
1. The World Housing Market is disappearing up its own its own backside
2. The Financial issues getting a loan now make #1 even worse
and they start to demolish homes whilst the criminals remain not only in power but outside of the law
I think this latest story is what is required to perhaps escalate the issue on a European and World Level. Unfortunately the everyday man doesn't get the publicitiy...but to have Antonio' name up there is going to cause issues. I would have to also believe that he is not going to take this lying down and his legal team will already be looking how this affects his constitutional rights and also his human rights. They will also have the financial clout to take this to the European courts...
If the Government think this is going to help their Economic plight they are sadly mistaken as this will cause people to think twice about buying or even moving to spain as if they think this is going to happen to them they won't do it. One way is for a petition to be setup on the net and then presented to the Spanish Govt and the European Parliament...My perception here is that the backside will drop out of the market in spain on the Costa's if this continues.....
For me....I still want to move but will take even more care now in any purchasing decision.....

a drop in prices would not be to everybody's disadvantage.
It all boils down to who you are trying to please.
Remember politics is a dirty game, and any political party is out to defend the interests of its own voters first and foremost - and not those of the community as a whole.

To "amogles"
That must make everything all right then?
Is this the added levity we are all waiting for. I must admit it did make me "Giggle"
Never mind "Prior's" you were just political football's. I bet that would go down well with them?

Its certainly killing the trade here - enquiries have dropped like a stone and the only buyers out are ones after huge discounts. This will not help the market in any way shape or form!

You would think so - Ive had loads of enquiries but not from second home buyers, all investors, individual and groups and for commercial which is somewhat suprising BUT good in a way......!
I think its more the credit and money markets causing the ripple of uncertainty and its global - Im finding other coutries wanting to sell building land and part finished developments and part sold developments now so not just Spain.

I suppose that puts things into perspective really.....
There are so many people that don't appreciate what can happen,but again maybe this is down to the smalll percentage that is does actually happens to.
Where i live there are about 500 houses,not one of them are illegal,i have sold about 200 houses in Spain not one of them was illegal,there are over 20,000 memebers on this forum alone,how many have bought illegal property and are likely to have it demolished???
We can get blinkered by these cases because they are so horrendous.
We all live by comparisons,i make mine with the only other country i have ever lived in,the UK,i have my perception of it but so many people would disagree and 1000's move there every year so what do i know!!
As an example,i was visiting the UK when the lad from Liverpool was shot dead outside kicking a ball,does this mean do not move or live in the UK because every single child will be murdered in cold blood!!!!? no i hear you shout!!!!
The same theory has to be applied to the question of whether the house you buy will be bulldozed...........

Actually, I think you'll find that Masa International are doing OK. Not so much in Spain, it has to be said, but, especially since their partnership with the UK's biggest estate agency, loads of enquiries for Italy (from £40k!!!) and Turkey (from £29k) and no, I don't work for them!!

I think the most who are concentrating elsewhere are doing ok. Spain has stalled - the others will follow!

I think the big guys (having moved on from Spain, mainly) will be doing ok in the less developed countries. It's the low prices that reel prospective buyers in.

yes more,and you know what happens then...............
We get Eye on Bulgaria, Eye on Romania,Eye on Kosivo etc....etc.....
I had the chance to look at selling in Calabria in southern Italy,i was approached by a developer and the beachfront prices were amazing,"everyone is buying there to flip them" said there PR department"we all know a song about that" thought i!!! does that remind you of anywhere,Spain maybe!!!!!!!!
Anyway as you know my wife and family are from that part of the world so i probably knew more about the area than the PR girl(in fact the family have land there)
If you think there is corruption here,my god try there!!!!!!!!!
My brother in law removed all his money from an Italian bank because he didn't trust them with it!!!!! and he is Italian.
These big guys are meddling again with the unknown as they did in Spain,this will only lead to more legal problems,watch this space...................................

I think the last comparison I saw, claimed that of all overseas property sold to Btits, 65% were still in Spain. That leaves 35% split between 20 or 30 other destinations. We still have the lions share and Rixxy is correct, the financial markets are in absolute turmoil at the moment. Not a good time to own shares, many people have lost fortunes. Looks like Spain in comparison is still as good a place as any to have your money invested for the longer term.
