Don't apologies Justin. I have no one to blame but myself thinking I'd made a good investment. Still my situation isn't desperate yet, just frustrating. I try an focus on the positive and we do love the apartment and get some rent. I will take your advice and market with a spanish agent and see how we go.

Hi Justin,

I'm starting to feel depressed now. Basically I found them. What you say makes sense as to do what others have posted. I'm down £250 although thats not my main concearn, more that I just don't know who to trust and that 5 years on and I'm stuck paying for a mortgage. I do love our apartment but we have a young family and want to extend our UK house so the burden of paying a second mortgage in spain is impacting us.

I have even started to make enquiries about dacion en pago, but that may not be an option from what I have read. I just thank god I didn't go interest only. I'm in negative equity at the minute and just thinking about whether I can sustain staying in for 5 or even 10 years when things may or may not recover.

I'm going out in April and think I will go down the traditional route of finding a local estate agent in the resort. I haven't thus far as just thought there is no point, so when I saw WWG advertising to china, india and russia I thought maybe that where the market might be.

Thanks for the advice.

Steve.

Thanks Roberto what you say does make sense and having bought 3 houses in the UK it does make sense that why pay upfront, although I hope these are expenses for marketing in those different countries. I'll have to see how things goes and will feedback any good or bad experiences. If you know of any such spanish estate agents that market to different markets I'd be interested to hear. To be honest its so frustrating you just don't know who to trust and who not to when doing it all remotely.

Thanks for your comments.

Kind Regards,

Steve.

Hi Angela,

I have sought legal advice and there is no risk, it does seem a formality in most countries to show proof of ownership. Maria the lawyer on this forum advised me to only send the 'Nota Simple' which can be obatined from the land registry, as that only holds the minimal information they need. She implied its normal and no risk for me, so I'm going with that. As to the fee its only £250 to advertise and market the property I'm not going to give any more than that. But thanks for your response and if I have any bad experience I will of course share that.

Kind Regards,

Steve.
