It depends on who you listen too. You will get many different opinions.
An AFO is a means to an end. It's the route I went down on my Villa. It will get you an escritura, so you have the bit of paper saying that the Villa and land it's built on are yours(that's my understanding). You will be able to leave the property in your will. You will be able to sell the property.
The above are moot points as I have no intention of selling and my will says it goes to my son. If that happens, I'm happy.
The other thing to bear in mind is that once the AFO is done, you're not supposed to alter or add to the structure or add out buildings.But again I don't think anyone gives a damn.
I would have no problems buying a so called illegal property again if by spending 1,250 euro I could get an AFO on it.
You pays your money and makes your choice.
