However, that would also solve the stamp duty problem at the english end. Hhhhhmm!??!!! I dont mind bending the rules a little, but I dont want to do anything illegal

If we do this, I think we'll need some very "clued up" lawyers both ends. any reccomendations????


Also, am I right in thinking that it isnt the norm to have a surveyor look over Spanish properties as is done in the UK??

Jo
Yep could have a problem when you sell it with Cap Gains good point hmmmmm
I dont think its illegal its your property sell it for what you like . specially at the moment it will be ok to be lower as the current market , is iffy isnt it ..

Yep surveyors will look to ensure mortgage is covered but they dont really give a stuff being honest, as long as there moneys covered ..


I shall put me thinking cap on it for you Jo and if i can think of solution will advise
