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.
