Seriously for those of you who have not yet completed a Spanish purchase be aware that it is very difficult than the UK. Completion happens at the Notary's office and also present are the abogados/lawyers from each party and a bank representative of each side assuming there are mortgages on both sides.
Getting all those people in the same room together is not easy, in fact I am told that my abogado was so late that the vendors solicitor wanted to call it off and retain my 15000 deposit! Happily there was a happy ending - but be warned.
We were there for a week and spent too much time shopping and too little time relaxing. I'm sure anyone who has completed will understand this. However don't feel too sorry for me! Look at this..........................................
