I am torn.

On the one hand I beleive that when in Spain, I should do as the Spaniards do.

On the other, this part "brown paper bag" method of buying my property, that I am being offered, is causing me some concern.

Yes there will be an IVA saving to me of about a grand stirling. BUT, if and when I sell, a CGT loss of three times as much, unless of course, the same dodgy methods are used.

I would be grateful for any advise from anyone who has been offered an understated purchase price. Did you accept or reject it?

Thanks
