I can’t believe that many of the comments I am reading here are written by ordinary people and not bank/estate agent employees. Where do they keep their brains? Certainly it’s not in their heads, that part of their anatomy is buried deep in the sand. It’s not whether the British or people from any other nations buying property in Spain that will cure the problem, it will only be when the Spanish people themselves find the prosperity to buy that the crisis will end. As for a sudden influx from the UK coming to Spain, you can forget it. The Spanish cooked their own goose by taking back or knocking down homes bought in good faith from corrupt builders and town officials. The only long-term answer is for the housing market to find its true level, and if that means that some will take a loss that that’s the way it has to be.
