Customer Reviews

Consistent performer
In this 9th edition (April 2006) the author has given a great update and overview of the buying process. The book has been around for a while and you can tell from its consistent format and thorough details. A lot has changed with the market in the last few years though so I look forward to the 10th edition.

Everything you need to know!
Having made a permanent move to Spain, I can confirm that Anthony's guide is the best publication of its kind for preparing you for everything you need to know about buying a property in Spain.

It is clear and easy to understand, explaining the spanish terms and procedures, local quirks and hurdles, and discounting many of the rumours you hear whilst going through the process of buying. It's almost like listening to guidance from a good, trusted friend.

I now work for one of the leading Estate Agencies on the Costa Del Sol, and Anthony is known and respected in the area by many of the reputable agencies. He has a vast experience buying and selling property and an abundance of local knowledge. I have also met several happy buyers he has helped through the stressful process of purchasing a property abroad.

I would highly recommend this easy to read book if you are considering the leap to sunnier climes!

Straightfoward, easly to understand and comprehensive
I bought this book after the recommendations on Amazon and I haven't been disappointed. It is written in a very clear style and starts right at the most important stage - the buying process - that's why we buy these books after all! If you, like me, are a complete novice, I would recommend this book to you at the outset. It also contains information on tax and residence permits, not so relevant for my holiday home purchase. A great find!!
