Hi Ron/Steve,

I'm over here at he moment staying with friends until we complete -2 ish weeks.  Tried to call you a couple of times yesterday Ron but kept getting a movie star spanish message.  Are you still over here as I would still like to meet up.  Steve I'm mainly using a solicitor for peace of mind plus they'll translate the escritura at the notary.  If you know someone who didn't use one just get him to talk you through their experience at the notary as thats the important bit.  Dont forget there's 2 red days this month 21st and 23rd these are compulsory holidays so apart from bars etc no one will be working.

 

all the best,

Bill

Hi Steve,

We used Parador properties, and Domus solicitors in Torrevieja.  I would always advise the use a solicitor for the sake of 1% of the puchase price its piece of mind, they check all of the licences and land registry.  Given that Spain isn't adverse to bending the rules or inventing new ones I felt more comfortable using one.

 

All the best,

Bill

Hi Steve,

We're due to complete in about 3 weeks which will hopefully tie in nicely with the removals firm from the U.K.  The exteriors look really good much better than other fortunas and the interiors are looking pretty good too, like you said just a few finishing touches.  As I understand it the builder lets the agent know that its finished and then a building inspector checks the house (the build only) against the plans for legality and conformity.  Then the agent  snags it with you present.  Once everything is right then its off to the notary with your solicitor for completion.

In our block the boilers are still awaiting fitting and the houses need a damn good clean which euromarina take care of. They've told us end of March for the pool area which I can believe but don't forget they've got the elections over here at the moment so add a week or two to be on the safe side.  A friend of ours bought through euromarina and they speak extremely highly of them which was comforting to hear. 

Looking forward to meeting you.

Cheers,

Bill

Hi Ron,

We're moving over permanantly. Though we're still keeping a foot hold on the housing market in the U.K.  The euro is a worry at the minute, guess the only thing to do is transfer as little money as you need and just play the waiting game.  January can't come quick enough, I'm really getting p*ss*d off with this country.

Cheers,

Bill.
