Over the past few years people from the UK and other places have been buying more homes abroad in Spain (including Lanzarote) than anywhere else in the world. People often wonder why, maybe it's because of the relaxed way of life, the better climate, cheaper taxes or perhaps it's all of these. What ever the reason there is a steady increase in buying property in Spain/Lanzarote so on this page there is some pointers to watch out for which you may not know of.

When you are going to buy a property in Spain or Lanzarote you should always ensure that you do as much research as possible. You need to remember that the laws are different from in the UK. One of the main differences is the problems people come across with un-paid bills.

The bills over here are actually carried over with the sale of a home, so if the seller has not paid there water bill for 3 years and you buy the house of him/her, you will be faced with paying this bill not the person who ownes the house. Hopefully a solicitor will look into this and you should not be to worried, if you are unsure they ask.

There are many different real estate agents in Lanzarote / Spain for you to choose from. You will also find 1 property up with a number of agents and normally with different prices so it will pay to shop around.
