Customer Reviews

Excellent ,simple and informative reading
I purchased this book back in 1998/99 when myself and my wife decided to look for properties in Spain.Research before attempting to purchase overseas properties is vital. Tony not only gives you the pros and cons of buying property but also the legalities and others from buying new houses and resales to buying cars and motorcycles.The other excellent thing is that we have never come across before, is that you can contact the author (Tony)and he encourages this at the front of his book, which i have also done on more than one occasion and he has also contacted us.He is on the front line and knows his stuff with spending many years on the Costa Del Sol. Very good honest read. I hope he keeps up the good work.

Superb - Keep them coming !
This book is continually by my side. I loaned it at first from the local library, but it became such a valuable resource whilst considering the purchase of a Spanish property, that I just had to buy it for its thoroughness and step by step hints and tips.
I purchased the 8th edition and hope there will be many more to come. Keep up the good work Tony !

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.
