Hi thereI have found a house I like but it states that it's not on the property registry."Both the property and the land are preserved and with regular maintenance, it is not registered in the property registry, but the necessary documentation is ...
@gjpn What makes a property sketchy ? You presume everybody knows, but the only people who actually know are the crooked Estate Agents and the Seller. Read More

The first thing you need do is hire a Surveyor. A Lawyer is not interested if the septic tanks are leaking and need to be replaced. They are also not interested if the water supply is from a Well. Never hire a Lawyer recommended by the Agent and ... Read More

Definately a Lawyer, but more importantly a Surveyor. What is the water supply? A Well or Town Water? What is the sewerage, Septic Tanks or Town Sewerage? If it has only Well Water dont buy! If it only has septic tanks don't buy... a Surveyor will ... Read More

@Frankcollett No the UK will not speed up your medical needs. It is up to the Spanish Health Authority and the Doctor who is responsible for your medical needs. It is not unusual to wait for several months before getting treatment /results. You ... Read More

Can anyone tell me if there is a town or city or district in Andalusia with low humidity? What is the area or town with the lowest humidity levels in the south?
I don't t know, but I've very been told the Coast gets more sea breeze than inland towns. Humidity in most inland towns in Andalucia is extremely high. I would not recommend living there between April and October. It may sound crazy, but Humidity ... Read More

Mallorca life does not represent Spanish life. Spain is a big Country and your experiences merely spotlight a tiny part of a Spanish Island. Very misleading and not relevant. Speaking the language is also irrelevant to the question. Apart from the ... Read More
