This guide is intended to help you understand the process of buying a home in Spain, to explain the terminology you will encounter and to give an indication of the obligations of overseas home ownership. The guide does not attempt to cover all the legal and financial points. It is, of necessity, both brief and general and is therefore no substitute\u00a0\u00a0 for proper professional advice.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
