Thanks for the advice folks.

Rixxy, we will do this correctly. I am thinking of bringing it with me and using local contractors to erect it. These are my retirement funds on the line here so planning has to be 100%.  Maria, this site that I found listed four types of property for sale. "Urban Lot", "Building Lot", "Rural Property" and "Industrial Land" I assumed it was common Spanish terminology, but the words must be their own terminology.  The other question I had is how do people generally feel about log homes. IE, are they difficult to resell. Does the average Spanish home buyer have a problem with them ?

Haven't been on for a while, (mainly because we have been in Spain researching our move).  Decision has been pretty well made. We loved it and the weather was perfect. What more do I need to say. We just need to tie up loose ends.  We have found a Timber Log home company located in Knysna in South Africa, that will supply an entire house for under 125,000 euros. We had a look at one and they are amazing. I am talking about a serious house here, some 170 sq metres of accommodation, not a creaky holiday log cabin.  Shipping is probably about 2000 euro. I was wondering about the acceptability of timber homes in Spain, both from a resale point of view and local town planning rules.  It must also be a buyers market in terms of land sales, and the final result will be an incredibly cheap wholly owned home by comparison to purchasing an existing property. Anyone have any thoughts on this idea. Another question. I googled land for sale in Estepona, and came up with two terms. An urban lot and a building lot. Does anyone know the difference between the two. As  always, appreciate all the help given on this forum. It's a wonderful site for valuable info.

Regards, Ivor
