Hey guys, I am about to purchase a property in la Caldereta, however, I am worried because many real estates are suddenly on sale with their prices gradually decreasing. Does anyone know why is that?

Thanks a lot for your quick response, this is the exact property I am interested in : https://www.fotocasa.es/es/comprar/vivie...S-ES&tti=1 . If you have any more information about this property that might be helpful, I would love if you share it with me.

Hi,  when you say "about to buy" have you had a lawyer look into the legality of the building and land first?  From our experience there are many properties that are multi owned by family members,  so first get it checked that who ever is selling is the sole owner or there is an agreement in place. 
I wouldn't want to put you off but a good lawyer is essential, hope things work out and you can agree a good price.  Good luck

A nice sized plot!

A few questions to ask if you're buying a rural property:

Is the electricity connected and working?
Is the water connected and working?
Has a reserve water tank been fitted and is the pump working?
Has a depuradora been fitted and are the pumps working?

Is there a physical telephone line available? Not so important because you can use a 3G/4G system but if 'physical' available you stand a chance of getting fibre optic in the future.

Good luck!

It really is a case for “horses for courses” as Sam says. As long as you have ensured your solicitor has done due diligence it is down to you. If you are happy with the price then go for it. At the end of the day it is what you are happy with. Remember though, things are not always the same, although they should be (within reason) the same as the UK. If it is your hearts desire then go for it, I did & best decision ever but it is undoubtedly very subjective 😁😁
