We asked for a written explanation but he will not reply in writing, only saying he needs to meet us to explain the Spanish system. Well the costs were all explained before we started the process and nothing like this was mentioned. The seller has had 3% retained for CGT from the money paid over. Am I right in smelling something off here?
No that is the normal , They hold that money from the seller to ensure that the due money is paid ..

So dont worry its just the Spanish way the same happened on my purchase the little German Guy had an ammount with held to ensure once hes back in Germany he doesnt hide ..
