Pablo is his name he has an office in the centre of Torrevieja 

contd. from my earlier reply: Legally the vendor is responsible to pay the "hidden" tax (not the transmission tax of 10%), Before deducting anything. check to sales agreement/contract for this item.

Great.Thank you so much!

Thank you.

Okay i understand now.You all are the best. I will find out about this soon.

Okay...I will soon take up a solicitor to do all the paperwork.Hopefully the solicitor will sort out my property issues.The agent have not done much on the property and i should not be paying the agent anything if no such work done yet.

As you are in La Marina, I would suggest you go up and speak with George Weidemann. He has an office in town. He is honest, reliable, affordable, and will give you all the facts. His office is on the right hand side in La Marina, on the road that goes down to the beach, from the top of La Marina.

I'd be very careful of paying anything like "Reservation" or "deposit" or whatever to an agent. You are committing yourself to what? Instead have an agreement set up where both parties specify their relative conditions. You, as the buyer should require the vendor or his agent to produce proof of a legal title for the property (copia simple del Reistro de la Porpiedad) before even signing such agreement. Then, agree on a given date for completing the transaction before a Notary Public. Since you pay the Notary, you should select one of YOUR choice. Don't expect comprehensive assistance from the agent, his only concern is making money fast, easy, and as much as possible.

Don't give the agent a penny. Any money moves through the lawyers

The agents will try to scare you with the pay 3000 to.take it off the market tactics. Don't fall for this. 

Make the offer, if accepted give the agent your Sols details and step back.

During the last 54 years I am living permamnently in this country I have bought and sold about a dozen own properties, and therefor can talk from experience(s). By no means I pretend to disqualify any differring opinnion, point of view, or whatever. But be assured I have none of the problems brought up here for discussion. Besindes working for Liebherr, Girling Ltd among others I studied Law and specialized in Tax and Public Administration.

Thank you for explaining all important aspects in buying a property here.This will also help others

who are still unsure the whole system in Spain.

Thank you so much.
