Buying in Morocco
Having already bought two properties off plan this book
is really helpful its a mix of many books already read by myself and will be very usefull in the future.

There is clearly nothing like this book on the market and gives many insights into little known areas, giving you ideas to look for further Morocan property bargains which are still out there

Well done Abby.

Worth the buy and worth the read!
This is a really good book, packed with information not only about property, although it has some fantastic insight into the varied property market all over the country, but also with excellent practical information about Morocco as a whole, stuff which the guide books never mention. It is written in a chatty, welcoming style and really inspires someone sitting on the fence about buying Moroccan property just to bite the bullet and go for it. A good analysis of the property market in even the most remote parts of Morocco shows that some really intricate research has been done and I never knew that Morocco had such a wide range of properties including swiss style ski chalets in the Middle Atlas!

A cracking riad, sorry, read!
At last a practical and informative book on Morocco. I first started my house hunt in Marrakech 3 years ago, but gave up because the lack of information was too stressful - different information from everyone I spoke to. I am now going back to Morocco in 3 weeks time armed with this book and hoping to buy some land to build on to, the process for which is explained very clearly in the book.
