Hi Karen and Ian,

We have just gone through the process of buying a cortijo just outside of Albox, it wasn't the first house that we liked.

We previously fell in love with a place in Arboleas, which on the face of it, needed a bit of TLC. We had a survey done that uncovered a lot more and that would have ended up costing us a small fortune.

We moved on and found our forever home following another survey by the same chap. He was very honest and thorough and not overly expensive.

As Jan states above, agents want to sell properties and most, not all, don't care once it's sold. I would definately not jump in and buy without having a survey done.

I can PM you the details of the surveyor if you like.

Good luck,

Tony

hi could I please have his contact details hope to move out this year thanks..

There's a lot more to buying a house in Spain than advice from solicitors, estate agents etc. It's the questions that you need to ask

Hi Debbie

 I used https://surveyspain.com

They were very professional, not cheap but saved me many times their fee due to them picking up on dishonest information supplied by an Albox estate agent. 

As a sweet postscript the esate agent herself lost the sale of her own property when her prospective buyer used Survey Spain and discovered undisclosed discrepancies.

Good luck with to all.  Mark

Hi Debbie

I dont think it does. I think its a flat rate.  Drop them a line, they're very helpful and pretty much an all English office.

Don't know if this is going to be the same guy or not but there is a firm that advertises to do the energy surveys and they also do house surveys as well. They advertise in the Euro weekly news. Wish we had got one done before we moved as it cost us a lot more than we planned for when we bought o...

...ur house. 

Would appreciate you also sending me the details who you used Tony.

Best wishes,

Paul.

Could you please send me the details of the surveyor please and rough idea of cost
