Great news - we have heard from 2 different (and reliable) sources today that the Spanish government are lifting the requirement for non-EU citizens to obtain authorization from the Ministry of Defence when buying properties in designated military zones if the land is urban (but not if the land is rustic). This law is currently causing lots of delays (and expense) for British buyers (as well as all other non-EU citizens) - and even for people waiting to inherit properties that they already part-own! So, we are delighted to hear this news, which we hope to be able to confirm in due course. We are also waiting to hear confirmation from the land registry in this area that they will waive this requirement immediately or not.

Sorelle & Andy have been excellent whilst assisting us with our purchase in Dream Hills 2. From opening a bank account, introducing us to a solicitor & even recommending a currency company nothing was too much trouble. Sorelle has gone out of her way to ensure a smooth handover & we are now the proud owners of a small chunk of Spanish sunshine. Would recommend them to anyone. We couldn't fault their service & feel very lucky to have seen their sign outside the apartment in September. It´s a little scary when you're buying in another country but we felt we were in very capable hands. Thank you both so very very much. Sue & Keith from Chesterfield
