Comment on Antonio Banderas & Melanie Griffiths Caught up in Illegal Spanish Property Crackdown by manuel grimaud

OK everyone should know that 15 to 20m from water line any shoreline belongs to the public.

Its such a natural piece of ligallity that I dont know how high profile people get cought up in this.

But Spain is well known for entrapments like this.

Yes it is entrapment because the Council’s officials know this… they take their bribes and just close both eyes..till the buck dropps.

Another crazy system(for example) is that Valencia council is now sending bills to expats in the Ayora Valley because THEY reccon that land bought 4 years ago was bought for too chap a price.

Four years after you buy a property Valencia send you a bill for the difference betwen what you payed for your land and their estimate of euro 3.61 per m2.

Who the hell are they to say what land should be bought for. Any simple inded astate agent will tell you that land is worth what it is sold for.

How can you quantift price of land????? buildings yes… but land???

Spain especially Valencia is made up of legalized crooks. They miss the Dolce Vita of the past when they just lapped up all the corruption.

Beware of buying property in Spain.

The right hand will not accept what the left hand did,, in spain.

Great article and some solid tips for purchasing property in brazil although it’s fair to say that there are other ways to invest in brazilian real estate> without going through a conventional house/land purchase. The governments “minha casa minha vida” house building program has also lead to various opportunities to invest in this growing sector.

Having lived in brazil for 6 years and just about to leave for good, i would not invest in anything in this corrupt, crime ridden hell hole of a country. If you are asking fir a world of problems and falso crocked people all over the place, go ahead, I guarantee the misery will come down on you
I have seen a lit if the world but this place is in a class all by itself. the moment you trust anyone here the problems will surely come.
