Got picked up by a Taxi Driver in Alicante and one of the subjects we got onto was Squatters, she told me what had happened to her Mother, her mother had sold her home in Buckinhamshire England and put the whole of the proceeds into buying a Villa in I think Almeria, Spain, but she also needed to get a mortgage as she didn't have all the funds to pay for it outright, she furnished it as she wanted, and the family helped dig out and install a pool, her mother returned one day to find a woman with a child and dogs living there claiming squatting rights !!! - the police were called but the squatter refused to leave, - The initial costs for Solicitors was €6,000-00 which she did not have as she had invested it all into the Villa, The result was that she had no money to pay the mortgage as she needed it to rent elsewhere, the Bank eventually repossed the property and she lost IT ALL, furniture, EVERYTHING !!!
For those who are disputing this, what proof have you got that's it is not true !!! - None ! - What proof have I got ? - Well I heard it from the Daughter and she appeared very Genuine, Why would she make up something like this ? How would she benefit by making up a story like this ? It makes me wonder if you do not want people to publicise these kind of stories as it would damage the Spanish economy.
