Thanks for sharing that with me as I was originally thinking the same about the solicitor but still kept having nagging doubts that I couldn't shake off. Over the last 20 years we have purchased and sold a couple of places in Spain (although never new builds) , as 20 years ago we lived and had a bar/restaurant there for a couple of years so we have experienced the exciting Notary office scenario a few times and we speak and understand a little Spanish still.

I understand people do want peace of mind when making a huge purchase such as this and I guess for them, like Bill says, 1% in the grand scheme of things I guess is worth paying.

Still I will have to make a decision tomorrow one way or another. Have you seen the pics I posted and the one overlooking your corner garden, it looks massive by the way I hope you have budgeted for a lawn mower!!

Cheers

Hi Ron

 

Glad to hear everything was better for you this time. Did you use a solicitor or did you just use Euromarina services? My agent has worked with Euromarina for over 5 years, and his wife worked for them for a couple of years, he has bought 3 properties and hasn't used a solicitor because he knows them so well and trusts them, however he says that a few of his clients did for their peace of mind. I now cannot make up my mind as they charge around 1% of sale price.

When exactly will you be there? We are completing on the 27th March and return to the UK on the 29th. I think Bill may be there at around the same time. Did you take any further pics? Euromarina sent me a few of our interior and a couple of the outside one from the bedroom balcony over looking your garden!! I have posted these two on here.

 

Cheers

Steve

Hi Bill

Cheers for the reply.

I assume from your post you have purchased through an agent. Who have you used, I wondered if it is the same as us? Also are you using a solicitor or just going through Euromarina? I have been told that some people use a solicitor and others don't as Euromarina definately own the land etc they haven't found it necessary and have never had any problems. What advise have you been given?

Cheers

Have you been to complete yet? If so how was it? Were you satisified. It looks like your row was the first to be completed. Have you got any photos of your interior? I got some sent last week by Euromarina and there was some little finishing touches to made. Also the pools and gardens we have been told are due for completion about the end of March.

When are you planning on moving over? My wife and I are booked to complete on the 27th March so are just going over for a couple of days then.

Cheers

How did it go? Was everything done and have you completed? We are going on the 27th March to complete. Just wondered if you had a solicitor or did you use Euromarina's service? My contact at Euromarina sent me some photos of the interior of ours last week and it still needed a couple of finishing touches also there was a photo from our bedroom terrace that overlooked your garden and down to the pools. These were still in construction and they told me they expected the gardens and pools would be finished by end of March.

Let me know how you got on and hope evrything went smoothly this time.

Chers

Steve
