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!!

Review in SPAIN MAGAZINE September 2006.
I am the author and publisher of the book titled "The Complete Guide To Buying A Property In Spain" ISBN 0952363941 and would be most grateful if you would include the following review, which is in the September issue of Spain Magazine, on your web page referring to my publication.
The review reads as follows:

The ninth edition of this popular book includes easy-to-follow advice on buying and selling and answers common questions about wider legal matters such as tax and inheritance in a stripped-down form.
It's edge is that the author Tony Foster, who has been involved in the Spanish property business for decades, provides a unique after-sales service for buyers of the book, responding to email and telephone enquiries from all over the world.
He has been a pundit for BBBC television in the UK, and has featured in the Daily Mail newspaper.

Best regards.

A. I. Foster.
