Buying a property in Cabo Roig
Hi All, looking for advice, just back from Cabo Roig and saw our dream property there, we put in an offer and it was accepted, the estate agent informed us that the owner wanted a cash deposit 10,000 euros as an up front deposit payment, this will not be included in the total sale of the property and we will pay the the balance of the property excluding the cash deposit at a later date, we did visit a lawyer and they said this is done over in Spain, they don't like it but the owner does not want to declare the full value of the property, its obviously a tax doge so that he doesn't have to pay tax back on this deposit.
What do you think any advice
