If only they would knock them down.

Then the C Del Sol could return to the beauty it once was.

Yeah, just had a read, only three are scheduled for demolition, out of about 30,000. The Junta says there should be 11, big deal. Have to say though even with all the illegals looks much better than the likes of Calahonda and Fuengirola. How does Benalmadena get away with building that ugly City on the wrong side of the Motorway, and who is daft enough to buy them!

I don`t think so, dated information there, more than half the Brits have gone back to the U K like you.
There are just as many if not more Moros, Scandies, Dutch, German, East Euroean, Portugeezers, Chinese, Selengolese, etc, you name them and they are here.

Asking prices could fall by up to 40%

Asking prices could fall by as much as 40% for certain types of resale property argues a new report from the Network of Property Experts (Red de Expertos Inmobiliarios) . A fall in sales activity to “historic lows” of an average of 9,000 resale properties per month lies behind the downward pressure on prices . “Buyers have disappeared from the market,” says the report . “That pushes vendors into dropping their asking prices ; if in the past this was done with reductions of 2% to 3% , now the drop is around 30% to 40% .” the full report is on Mark Stucklin pages , reports off The number of Europeans buying second homes has dropped by 83 percent in two years in Alicante . loss of confidence in buying in the Valencia region with reports in the UK press on land law abuse and investigations by the European Parliament . The Alicante newspaper , Diario Información , quotes last year’s figure for Spain as a whole as 22% higher than those for the Costa Blanca .

If one or both of your parents are British then you are British by descent. ;-)

Not quite right.
I'm the same as livit, although didn't see uk till I was 6.
My brother was born in Malaya, and couldn't get a passport from either country UK or MAlaya.
Took his M.P. to stand up and ask in H.O.P to get it sorted.....40 years after he (my brother that is ) was born!
