Buying a property in spain, 9 Nov 2002
This review is from: Buying a Property in Spain: An Insider Guide to Finding a Home in the Sun (How to) (Paperback)
If you,like me are considering buying a property in spain,either for permenant living (as i am)or soley for holidays and rental purposes buy and read this book before you do anything else. The book deals with all aspects of buying and all the legal side of a purchase in spain, and all the strange spainsh laws that us English do not understand,such as checking that the property has no debts attatched to it or if you buy and it has YOU are responsable for them. This book is well written,and in most part (not the law side)very easy to understand ,and has informed me of a lot of things i did not know which is very valuable when you are spending a lot of your hard earned cash on a purchase in a different contry with such uncommon laws,i would highly recommend this book if you are considering a place in the sun.

A really practical guide to buying a house in Spain, 30 Jun 2003
This review is from: Buying a Property in Spain: An Insider Guide to Finding a Home in the Sun (How to) (Paperback)
I found this book very helpful, especially the explanations of all the different legal documents. None of the other books I considered explain the legal documents involved in buying a Spanish property quite as clearly. The sample documents helped me to understand what was asked of me. As somebody who has never dealt with Spanish solicitors and agents before, I was glad to get a low-down on what they do and what to look out for from this book. A really useful book; well done, Harry King!

Look elsewhere!!, 4 Jun 2003
This review is from: Buying a Property in Spain: An Insider Guide to Finding a Home in the Sun (How to) (Paperback)
If you've never been to Spain before, know absolutely nothing about the country, and don't perhaps possess at least a minimal ammount of common sense then you might, just might, find something in this book of some use. Otherwise I would urge you not to waste your time or money by buying this book - I made the mistake so you don't have to! The style of writing is amateurish to say the least, the layout has obviously been designed by someone that's just bought some new software and wants to use all it's features at once, the content is shallow and next to useless as a guide to buying property. All in all I am amazed that this book ever made it into print, it really shouldn't have. I've only given it one star as it's not possible to give none!
