Just to say thank you to those who took the trouble to reply and I am now 'googling' Huercal Overa....... looks a nice area so I'll carry on with the research.  Thanks for the offers of reputable contacts, will bear that in mind.

Hi, in response to the question, where?  We have thought about Costa Calida as it seems pretty inexpensive but then you wonder why..... it has San Javier airport so is handy for the UK trips back to see family.  I just find it very difficult to get correct info without a lot of digging around.  I know the area is suffering from 'overbuild' but then that's true of many places in Spain, I just want to ensure that any potential purchase has all the legalities in place........... seems very hard to do!!!

Why do the Spanish authorities  make everything so difficult?  Is there any way of finding if all licences are in place, from reading other Spain focused forums this seems nigh on impossible!

However, I'm not giving up on the idea.....

Have to agree, it is a madhouse here in the UK, however since we are looking to move overseas shortly we're currently sudying all things Spanish....... and French cos not too sure where we want to be yet!!  Buying now seems to be a no-no so for the moment we have decided to rent first.  We are renting in France for a short time and then Spain, however, if anyone had their time over again would they buy?  Not just being nosey, it's a big decision and don't want to get it wrong if I can help it, the legalities of some properties and corruption issues worry me or am I exaggerating?

Would be nice to hear some positive thoughts...... or indeed negative ones, have removed my rose tinted spectacles.
