Book Description
It is the best time in ages to buy a home in Spain, and bargain hunters are doing just that. You may wish to join them, but need to make your way through the property maze with as few problems as possible and without overpaying for lawyers, estate agents and other useful advisers. Anthony Foster is just the person to lead you through the maze. He has lived and worked in Spain in property since 1981, helping thousands to buy with minimum fuss and cost. This 10th edition of his popular guide, first published in 1994, provides unrivalled detail as he draws on up-to-date examples from his own experience to reveal what all the paper work and extras - property taxes, electricity and water, wills, mortgages etc - will likely cost. It includes tax and legal changes made so far for 2012 and 2013 by the new Spanish government that was elected to power in November 2011. This guide gives you just what you need to budget as accurately as possible and to understand what your advisers are doing. It even goes into insurance, buying a vehicle, parking without getting towed away, choosing the right people to rent out your property if you wish, and other invaluable insights. Years of insight and experience have gone into it. Buy this book and discover why Anthony Foster has appeared on British TV programmes such as BBC's Working Lunch and Channel 5's Hot Property as the buyer's best friend and the cowboy property developer's worst enemy. Whether you just need the basics or want in-depth information, this is very probably the guide of choice for you. It even offers an 'after sales'service by providing contact details for any questions about what you read.
