I agree that is a beautiful area, but it is much colder and wetter than Murcia.  Just flying into Alicante or San Javier airports you will see that it is at or about Alicante where the countryside changes to a far more arid and less green appaearance.  There's a reason for that - the climate.  Murcia is the driest region with the warmest consistent temperautures.

Hi Brian, please be careful and do as much research as you can.  It can be horrible when people sharing a property fall out as well as all of the points that Justin has raised.

A few other things to check out are the additional charges for changing names on mortgages.  Sometimes the provider will insist on cancelling the existing mortgage and applying for a new one - at a % of the total cost - more money.  Tax implications on each person and what happens in default.  All debts in Spain remain with the property not the person, so it could be quite precarious without the legal binding agreement. 

Maybe Smiley or one of EOS other mortgage experts can help you more.  Good luck.

Here we go again............

This is exactly why people don't bother to post anymore.

Positive views of any sort just have to be interrupted to remind us all how bad Spain really is.

Well, the news is - that it's just not news.  Not anymore, and it wasn't before. 

Spain has always been the same, and the Spanish will tell us so quite clearly. 

Many of us have suffered in many different ways through buying or trying to buy in Spain, but don't feel the need to constantly try and burst everyone's bubble all of the time.

Many of us have signed all the petitions and joined all the calls for justice, but if we don't join in the criticism we're accused of not understanding or not being supportive.  So we just don't post, pity, as this was always a brilliant forum.  Thanks for all the positive stories and keep them coming.

bmibaby just announced end of all services from Cardiff airport, moving to Ireland instead as more economically viable.  Means no services to Murcia from Wales.  Good for Bristol airport, but not for residents in Wales.
