Unfortunately, buying in Spain is definitely not safe for foreigners. I have lived here for 10 years. Have bought a house which has been a nightmare from start to finish. Everyone involved, from banks to solicitors, have proved either inept or actually fraudulent and corrupt. Would I advise a friend to buy property in Spain from a Spanish company? Not in a million years. Also, when things go wrong, you have no safety net like in the UK. The legal system here is very slow, short on justice and even some lawyers have told me that its a regular occurence where judges are bribed by big business developers.
