I have just joined this forum site and I am very sorry I did not join it earlier.

I saw the post from Dave Clarke about looking to buy in Murcia. I live in Murcia and I would recommend it to anybody.

What appalls me is the negativity dispalyed by some people when it comes to buying in Spain. When I sold my 3 bed quasi terraced house in Oldham I was hoping to find something similar in Spain. I was very wrong. I actually found something much bigger, detached in a large plot of land for less money.

The whole process was a pleasure from start to finish and the company I went with were nothing short of excellent. It felt like I was on holiday and buying a house at the same time. True, they were a small company but everyone who worked there had been through the buying process themselves and knew what it was like. In my opinion experience counts for everything.

They gave me the facts and nothing but the facts and everything they told me has proven to be correct.

Now I am living here I find the way of life not only worlds apart from the UK but also a heck of a lot cheaper. What you have to avoid are the barrack room lawyers and doom and gloom merchants who seem to make it their goal in life to negate all and everything. Can somebody tell me that living, working and moving house in the UK is trouble free, I don't think so.

I just wish that people would stop knocking Spain just because it is an easy target.
