The Complete Guide to Buying a Property in Spain 12th Edition

Spain's property market has been bouncing back slowly, offering plenty of bargains compared with prices a decade ago. It is a buyers' market, but many legal and tax pitfalls may still await the unwary. It is important to work through this maze without putting savings at risk. Anthony I Foster is just the person to help you do that. In this 12th edition of his popular book, first published in 1994, he draws on 35 years' experience in Spain to provide unrivalled detail of how best to deal with lawyers, estate agents, builders, notaries, taxmen and others in the property selling and buying chain. He also explains what everything costs, helping readers to avoid unpleasant shocks that could bust their tight budgets. The guide is fully updated for main legal and tax changes since the previous edition. It is for property buyers who want to understand and keep track of what the professionals are doing in their name. The author, who has appeared on BBC and Channel 5 personal finance and property programmes as an independent expert on buying homes in Spain, even offers an 'after sales' service by providing his personal contact details for questions about information in the book.
