Hi and thanks for the reply.

I'm not needing a mortgage ( I was told to budget 14.5% on top of costs if I was) which is why I am questioning how the percentages are broken down. The extra 1.5-2% is a sizeable amount on any figure.

Also, its rather worrying reading about people being hit with an after sales tax based upon what the 'value' of the property is, so this is something else I will be looking into.

Hi!

I am now in the position to consider a move to Spain (Marbella area) and was wondering if someone could give me a breakdown of buying costs? I've been told to budget approx 11.5% on top of purchase price but would like to know what the costs relate to.

I am initially considering renting for 6 months to a year as I will be moving alone and want to be sure I have made the right decision!

All replies will be gratefully received.

Thanks
