Planning to buy property in Spain
Hi all, I'm sure i'm not the first to ask this on this forum so please forgive me.
I want to buy a small home in Spain near La Zenia in preperation for semi retirement, I'm at the very beginning and looking for a place to start before even looking at property I want to grasp the process, litigations, etc..
Looking for resources that can help - books, on-line resources, people who have been and done it would be awesome.

Re: Planning to buy property in Spain
If you have already chosen your area, then the process is much simpler. I know that area well, we purchased in Ciudad Quesada which is close by. AFIK there are no illegal builds in La Zenia. Check the property matches the escritura, i.e. no extensions have been carried out without planning approval.
There are several EA who have properties in La Zenia. Best to go with a personal recommendation. Go visit a café or bar in La Zenia Boulevard and chat to the locals.
IMHO; The process is much quicker and easier than England. Use a competent solicitor (abogado) and you will have no problems.
