Customer Reviews

Great book, our bible before we wrote our own!

This is the 6th edition of this great book. When we bought our first home in Spain in 2002 this was our bible, then of course we wrote our own book on buying a home in Murcia! Buying Property in Murcia: Insider Tips on Buying, Selling and Renting Property in South East Spain As with many of these types of books they have a large remit - "describe the whole of Spain and how to buy, sell, rent, move, live etc" - David Hampshire's book is one of the best at handling such a large job, though of course some of the nuances and subtleties of the individual regions can't be covered. This is a very comprehensive book though and obligatory reading! Finally - just a note on some of the other reviews that say the book is out of date - they're from 2001 and 2003 and this edition is 2007 - so much has been remedied!

Everything you need to know about moving to Spain

Great book. Everything you need toknow regarding moving to spain. This book is a must for anyone moving or buying a home.

A little to Brit-centric

It was a very helpful book, but I found it a bit too Anglophilic.As an American the book is lacking.

Essential for anyone planning to move to Spain.

Buying a Home in Spain by David Hampshire not only gives a variety of factual information about Spain, it reads like a novel. The book is up to date and discusses all aspects of day to day life in Spain. No matter if you are interested in the legal system, business, social life or want to know about the different areas, this book has it all. I appreciate the book most because it is written in a way that it will inform you no matter where you currently live. If you want to read just one book about living in Spain; this one excellent.
