Welcome

Folk just fall in love with Spanish style houses  (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=qxbhexbab.0.0.ow854pbab.0&ts=S0194&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reac-t.com%2Fweb%2Fen%2Fvillas.php%3Fcontent%3D3)and

buildings and, be it for a holiday home or for permanent living, they decide they must have one of their own.

Spain offers something to suit all tastes and pockets, luxury villas with gorgeous swimming pools, modern ᴩcos (penthouses) possessing spectacular sea views, pretty bungalows on new urbanizations, some even with private golf courses.

Perhaps it is the sleepy villages, cobbled streets and open, rural settings that call to you. Should that be the case, bargains abound, for rural Spain is bursting with forgotten properties in need of renovation.

Old fincas (farmhouses) surrounded by hectares of land, large goat houses desperate to be made into habitable dwellings, ruined cortijos (cottages) in need of renovation, abandoned town houses in quaint medieval towns and empty hunting lodges eagerly awaiting rebirth as hostals.

Whichever Spanish style houses and buildings appeal, do be cautious when buying! Perhaps our buyers guide  (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=qxbhexbab.0.0.ow854pbab.0&ts=S0194&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reac-t.com%2Fweb%2Fen%2Fbuyers.php)will

help you.

Reports in the Irish media have revealed that the Spanish tax authorities are planning to 'name and shame' all property owners who are not up to date with their taxes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Beat the Property Jargon

Concerned that a lack of understanding of key terminology can frustrate and confuse buyers, Banco Halifax Hispania has launched an 'A to Z' guide to common and uncommon terms in the Spanish property buying process (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=qxbhexbab.0.0.ow854pbab.0&ts=S0194&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reac-t.com%2Fweb%2Fen%2Fpress.php%3Fnews_id%3D104%26start%3D0%26category_id%3D%26parent_id%3D0%26arcyear%3D%26arcmonth%3D).
