If you are very lucky you might get what you are paying for in the glossy brochure.. but unfortunately Spanish Builders  / property developers have a history of going into administration before the project is finished.. speaking of past experience I personally would not advise anyone to buy off plan.

The the estate agent is probably fed up with stupid people dreaming and the easiest way to get shot of a dreamer is to ask them for a returnable deposit .. a genuine buyer will pay up whilst the dreamers will turn on their heals and carry on dreaming.

TFi London as a  none resident you can still buy  and sell or own as many properties as you like ..  when you buy or sell they will be assessed by the relevant authorities individually for CGT when you sell as a none resident you will beTaxed at 24% on the profit made 3% retention is also paid on top of this is and normally paid back to you within 6 months less any outstanding bills that you didn't pay before selling... as a none resident if you intend owning multiple properties you will be charged none residents Tax on each individual property none residents Tax is based on what the Spanish government has assessed the resale value at as for properties taking a long time to sell this all depends on the location and desirability and a appropriate asking price.. I have recently sold 2 properties in Oriella Costa  and they sold straight away and took approximately 8 weeks for completion of the sale.. if the new property you intend buying is brand new the purchase Tax is less than a resale property .

You will need to buy the other owners share of the property from them ..the simple way of doing this is by divorce settlement your appointed lawyer would handle the property transfer into your name it's pointless going on about how your ex partner is not contributing to the upkeep  of the property  the fact is if no young children are involved he doesn't need to contribute and you are living in his half of the property rent free so go and see a good divorce lawyer 😀.
