Lots of our visitors have been successful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Property\/buying_house_faqs.htm\" target=\"_blank\">buying a house in Spain<\/a>, but we do still hear too many horror stories of people who, in the words of the Consul in Alicante, \u00abdon&#8217;t do their homework properly\u00bb (often because they don&#8217;t know where to turn) and end up losing alot, even all, the money they invested in property here.<\/p>\n<p>Euroresidentes offers a section about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Property\/property_spain.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Property market in Spain<\/a>, aswell as sections on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Property\/spain_mortgages.htm\">Spanish mortgages<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Property\/property_taxes_spain.htm\" target=\"_blank\">property taxes in Spain<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Property\/property_spain_news.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Spanish real estate news<\/a> and a free noticeboard where people can post <a href=\"http:\/\/80.34.125.99\/\/phpBB2\/viewforum.php?f=1\" target=\"_blank\">properties for sale in Spain<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/80.34.125.99\/\/phpBB2\/viewforum.php?f=2\" target=\"_blank\">properties to rent in Spain<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Because of the popularity of this section among our visitors, we receive hundreds of emails each week from people asking questions, sharing a success story, warning other users against using the services of a certain estate agents, sharing a horror story, praising a certain service&#8230;.. <\/p>\n<p>So we decided to set up a blog from which to channel this flow of information which could be of interest &#8211; and maybe of vital importance &#8211; to anyone interested in buying (or selling) property in Spain.

And we work closely with lawyers, bankers and consultants who are always prepared to clarify doubts. <\/p>\n<p>We do not sell houses in Spain, we do not offer mortgages and we do not make any profit when offering advice to our users. Our opinions are objective, and if this blog can contribute to helping you make sense of the very complex, and often ruthless, Spanish property market, then it will have been worth our while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Spanish property market continues to thrive as more and more people buy houses here as an investment, as a holiday home, as an extra source of income (buy to let) or as a permanent home.
