my experiance is -- Spain and the Spainish are fantastic    con artists    I sure have been caught.

my latest experiance was 3 months ago, after paying insurance for car hire ,  when collecting car at Murcia airport I had to pay another insurance for wheel damage & windscreen protection the option I had was to pay the car hire co e600,   . the wheel damage after spain has now got a fantastic road system paid for from the european union & wheels do not get damaged,----- I lived in Spain for 8 years & never damaged my car wheels

 Hello Surveyor I am told by Daniel Hannan MEP that there are 400,000 ilegal built properties is spain 80% owned by Spanish,  this does sound to me that this is a special spanish system they see it happening,  I believe they just want to issue fines for illegal builds  more lucrative than stopping the builds.  I was on the Spanish tax system & tried to do things correctly, their system has ruined m financly.

our residence ass has been negociating with Murcia council for at least 6 years & it seems the progres made can be put in a match box !!  I do believe they could make bylaws to help the situation as they seem change the goal post on other matters to suit there selves they have made changes but they have made it more difficult !

I am now broke --79 years old after working untill I was 67 I completly blame Spain for me being in this situation. they allow it to happen, in uk you could not build a small extension without build regs/planning .

would you happen to kow how I stand as I bought a completly built house I was not the developer.

Murcia region Is just as bad, I bought a fully completed built house then found out it was illegal, banks will not loan money on it I have been trying to sell for 7 years  I paid  euros 228,000  it has elec contract with IBODROLA  Have been renting in uk as it was necesary to return to uk now all my savings gone --the Spanish inbuilt system of allowing illegal building to happen has made me broke,  the authorities see it going on and are content to let it carry on there are about 200 others in my area but I believe most employed a builder, unlike myselve mine was allready built.
