The finished programme was broadcast last Thursday (3rd Oct). I tried to post the link, but I`m still not allowed to! So just google ITV player and Tonight and Bargains in the Sun.

 Overall the programme was positive -- unlike some people presumed...

 We didn`t feature the village with the auction in the end -- Olmeda de la Cuesta --but the winners of the auction were announced on 5th October, so I look forward to looking up how much money they got for the plots.

Is Camposol in Murcia?

When the TV crew interviewed the consul in Alicante, he said only 1% of buyers ran into legalities. It seemed an underestimate.

Mega, the element of the programme featured in this brief post was just one small part of the overall programme. I did expand on it further in a later edition to the thread. We have filmed individuals with ongoing legal problems and have been in close contact with those representing individuals encountering these problems in Spain.

However, with regards to our personal enquiries, we have found that overwhelmingly most of those responding are concerned that we will be negative about the Spanish property market, as they say there has been too much negative media focusing on property buyers finding themselves the victims of corruption and arbitrary land laws.

  Even those who had long-standing legal problems that have now been resolved, were concerned that we would report anything which would put off British buyers. Therefore we walk a fine line.
