Average student - you say "Worrying about mold during winter time is reasonable, especially if you live near the sea." - no, this your comment re mould is doubly awry.
You will not suffer from mould, if the property is of modern sound construction and heated and ventilated whilst occupied. When it is not to be used for a few months it needs to be fully aired before you close it down - for example don't shower and lock-up immediately before you leave! I've found owning a property right on the beach/coast makes no difference - never had a even speck of mould.
The vast majority of Spanish property is excellent, but a small amount is intended for summer tourists, often cheap "single skin" construction. which is a different matter - so don't buy it!

Does anyone regret their holiday home purchase?
