Building surveys in Spain
Building surveys in Spain are not the norm but there are companies that will act on your behalf, chartered surveyors that will look at a building you are planning to buy and give you a full, independent report on it. It is important to choose an independent building surveyor because if you ask your estate agency to recommend one you can be pretty sure that they will have a vested interest in making things look rosy for you. If you buy they may well end up with a percentage of the sale price. Companies such as Sparkes Lawyers have full time Chartered Surveyors that are based on the Costa del Sol. They can be contacted on (00 34) 600 670 688.
