Do u know a good solicitor mitz

I have an excellent solicitor, but he is in Valencia City, so not a lot of good if you are buying near Alicante really!
As has been said already, Valencia is a huge area.

Most known solicitors are based in Torrevieja so there is plenty of choice and I imagine the builders or agents solicitor is based there as well. Best thing is to try and find out who they use and then choose somebody different.

An extremely good one in Gandia, but if you are buying in Alicante then thats 85 kms away.

As a matter of record, if you were to ask for recommendations of solicitors in the area you are going to buy then there is nothing to stop people pming you these

for anyone who wonders why im on late night shift nursing duties. some of us do work hehe

Build quality is very very poor look beyond the dressed show flat move on and look elsewhere. You also need an architect to inspect the build quality if you are heeding my advice and an out of town solicitor. Remember to prime your solicitor with questions to ask they tend to keep their silence otherwise. Please remember its very much a buyers market don't let your heart rule your head it takes sometimes years to sell a property here remember that when your jumping for joy running round a show flat being given loads of bull by the agent.Also banks are clamping down on mortgages make sure your finance is in order before committing yourself. The best of luck.




The Builder was here.

Hello Denise,

If you are buying near Torrevieja / Alicante then I can recommend one. Actually not the independent one I used but one I discovered afterwards - he sorted a lot of bad stuff out for many of us in Hondon regarding Water and Leccy supply . a really proactive chappy, actually got out of his office and went to see the Council and Builders several times - nice chap, good English and very assertive.

Can't put the name here as advertising... so let me know by PM if you are interested (Private Message) - link in the top right corner.

By the way I am talking about MASA estate agents and a resale property in urbanisation

I’d have thought that you’re in a very good position to drive a hard bargain on a resale property.

No rush really as there’s hundreds around…

If this property is resale be careful because some of these estate agents the really big ones put very high comsission rates, much higher than the standard 3-5% which most agents charge. There are some well known ones that put as much as 15-18% so be warned. If it is a new property then there is no problem with this as the agent gets a flat comission from the builder.

That's what I told my stockbroker yesterday when he tried to sell me 200,000
Lehmen Brothers shares for 30 pounds each but I am a shrewd cookie and beat him down to 28 pounds each see its a buyers market no flies on this cookie ehhhhhh

Can anyone tell me when buying an apartment in block who owns the land are they freehold or is there variation
What is the normal situation in these cases

Read my private e-mail to you What ever you decide do not use the one recommended by the Agent - you could possibly live to regret it.

I don't think it is normal to own the freehold when buying an apartment.

You get your share of the land bills, but you don`t get the land. ;-))
