I think it is going to be demolished as it is on the site of Marbella`s railway station when it is built.

Back to original post and the opinion that you could lose a lot of money if you buy in Spain and/or your home could be taken away from you.

Maybe the way to go is to rent, have no worries and have the flexibility to move as and when you want/need to.

To be truthful that is the way I would go if I was looking to live in Spain.

Assuming it sells.

Found out about an incredibly powerful tool that tracks every single change an estate agent makes to any house listed on the UK property portal rightmove. See http://www.property-bee.com/
