Question asked on the Darkside

" I am interested to buy an unfinished villa from a Real Estate agent. It has a building permit but needs finishing and obtaining a licence of the first occupation. My concern is the fact that the actual size of the villa is bigger than projected size, although the agent says that it’s common practice for neighbouring houses, and all the townhall is interested in is that someone finishes it.

We've just paid the deposit on buying a place in Corralejo and need to find some buildings and contents insurance.

I have bought a car recently but was through a dealer who handled everything.

Thanks

Does anyone know the full process for buying (and selling) a private car?

The original thread remains as 'buying items from IKEA' under General Discussions.
Due to extreme 'thread drift' I have copied the thread here and this can continue on the RATS theme 

Looking for your opinions & thoughts. Hopefully be staying 6 to 12 weeks each year, only 2 of us.
Adding things up with comm fees, tax , insurance etc it's around €2k p/a running costs. Plus 10% buying, similar selling. Can anyone add any pros or cons to buying as opposed to renting?
TIA
