Yes, you may have heard on numerous occasions that peoples dream had been ruined and things simply didn't work out in Spain, for a number of different reasons many faults of their own.

Many national newspapers and television programs linked with overseas property have put a downer on the Spanish property market, we have found this year has got off to a flying start with more and more properties being sold. Obviously these recent articles and programs have not put people off their dream of moving to Spain, however, for those of you that have been brain washed into believing the market in Spain is untrustworthy and a dangerous investment you need to think again.

Not only is the property market showing signs of a complete turn around in terms of sales, but house prices have seen a drop in price and look set to continue enabling those looking to buy in Spain a greater chance of saving thousands more on their overseas property.

So why all the bad press?

Is it a UK government stunt to put off potential overseas movers to maintain more people stay put in the UK, after all the UK has lost out on many millions of pounds now leaving the country as people seek to find that better quality of life that the UK simply can not offer. A move like this would and most probably has put a number of naive and gullible people off the idea of moving abroad, when a government sends out a message - nine times out of ten it has an impact on the thoughts of others, and this is nothing different.

The state of the government in Britain is a laughing stock anyway, who would believe them after recent events in Iraq, true!

So the reasons that put people off buying in Spain are mainly to do with illegal constructions, the Valencian land grab and general problems with buying an overseas property.

This is where you wonder if anyone has any common sense what so ever, if people are so naive that they can not make a decision or do the right research themselves - after we as normal human beings don't listen to everything we read or hear, do we? If you are looking to buy a house in Spain, France, Bulgaria or where ever make the decision your self, go and do the research, use independent companies to do checks for you and see for yourself what the right decision is for you.

How many people in the UK have bought properties that have had problems with? And how many people are home owners in the UK? It's the same in Spain, there are thousands and thousands of ex-pats living on the costas of Spain and you don't hear all of us complaining.

What the real problem is?

These horror stories that you hear of property being bought that turn out to be not legal and have to be pulled down are results of ill judgment, misrepresentation and a complete misunderstanding for the Spanish law. If in the first place these people hired the right people to do the right checks on the property none of these problems would have risen, many potential buyers end up trying to take short cuts and try to save more money by cutting out an independent solicitor for doing the proper checks that no debt remains on the property, that the property is fully legal, that the property has all the right certificates for water / power, etc.

Other problems that often occur are with new and off plan properties where some builders start building without the correct planning permission or building certificate which is easily avoided by using the right bank and legal team.

After all, how many people in the UK purchase a property without the assistance of a solicitor? You just don't do it...

The main reason the Brits return to the UK is because it simply didn't work out for them. They could not find employment to help support themselves here, they didn't integrate with the Spanish and ended up living the same life they did in the UK, they missed family and friends back home or life in Spain wasn't like the holiday they had!

People make that step by moving to Spain without any proper planning or research, they don't TRY to learn Spanish, they don't integrate and they get stuck in a rut. It is not like moving from London to Cornwall simply because this is a different country with different laws and it might come as a bit of a surprise to some of you but they speak a different language as well.

I have met so many people that have moved over to Spain for the same reason I did and all they seem to do is moan on about Spain, so why leave the UK in the first place! There are 101 reasons why people move and the same amount of reasons that will actually benefit you and your families a heel of a lot more than the UK will ever do for you.

Spain will continue to flourish, the property market will continue to grow and the British will continue to move to Spain, no matter what is said about this beautiful country it is 100 time better than that cold, taxed to the hill, boring, over priced, unfair and school like country that we call Britain!!!
