OFC I would view the property first.  I never stated I would buy without viewing!

Someone else messaged me saying Alicante is a "slum".

Not very positive advice.

I come from UK, I've been to many places I'd hardly call Alicante a slum.

Any one who's lived and traveled around UK will know just how crime ridden and dangerous most places are.

The slums of UK really are slums.

Alicante is amazing in comparison.

Everyone has their own opinion I guess or they are just trolling me here I don't know.

 

I stated I don't have much money I don't expect to take abuse for this fact though. 

Good for you guys if you can afford some posh area.  No need to rub it in my face.

I'm looking for advice not to get shit on here.

Thread: Buying a Apartment - Wheres the catch?

Hi friends!

I have been living in Spain for a year now and want to buy a low cost apartment.  I do not have much money available and have found apartments for just 12000 euros in Alicante!

You can see them on this site and some other well known property sites.  Theres quite a lot available for around the 15000 euro price.

My question is wheres the catch? Are these legitimate?

I am from UK and in England you cannot buy an apartment for less than 6 figures, let alone one that is close to just 4 figures!

Is this some kind of scam or is there something I shoulkd be aware of?  Can the gov take the apartment off you or something ?  I have heard if you buy land here sometimes the gov just takes it from you.

 

I'm just trying to figure out how this can go wrong before spending my life savings!

 

Any advice appreciated!  All the Best!
