You are having a laugh arn't you. I am in the process of buying an appartment in Spain. Just over a year ago when we started all you had to do was get a 20% deposit together and prove that you could pay the mortgage. Now that the appartment is finished I have got to find an extra 10,000 euros that can't be added to the mortgage for the taxes and "other" charges and now this week I have been told that the maximum mortgage is 70% so I have another 10,000 euros to find. The banks also now need to see a copy of your credit file (not needed a year ago) and the last 3 years accounts including the year to March 08 which my accountand doesn't normally do until December so I have had to get them in early. The 70% mortgage is on the purchase price or valuation whichever is the lower and prices are falling in Spain so I may still have yet another shortfall to find. So don't tell me there is no problem in Spain. :sad:


You could always sell the limos and some of your spear plates :lol:
Are you quite sure that the apartment is not one of those ear marked to be demolished as soon as its built :shock:


I won't be selling any limos, in fact I have just bought another one. :wink: As far as I am aware the appartment block is not due for demolition but you never know in Spain. As for spare plates, if you mean the council plates, they have no value around here anyone who meets the criteria can have one from the council.

He meant spear plates, you got them from the film 'Zulu'?

that report is over a week old and makes no mention of the anti-christ, the 3rd Reich or Elvis.
