Seems a tad unfair doesnt it? I'm sure you know about it pb. For those that don't, I'll tell you.
Lets say you buy some land in Spain and build your dream home. Then a few years later the Spanish government decide they want to build a motorway there, or some houses. They can take 70% of your land for free without paying you a single euro. Or they can buy everything for a tiny fraction of what its worth. If you dont want to lose the land then you pretty much have to buy your property a second time. Even worse is, if what they build benefits you, then they'll get you to help pay for it.
The irony is that lots of Brits complain about the government here and then move out to Spain and then end up losing everything when the Spanish government does something like this.
I'm sure this wont happen to you when you find a place out there pb. You're still looking for something in that town of yours right? Near her family?
Watching all these Spain property buying programs on TV, I'm already forgetting what the real Spain is like. I hope I finally get to go out there this year =)

The house is all mine, could the government still do that?
The same thing happened in East London during the late 60's. The government pay you for the land but as theyre going to knock the house down they wont pay for that as well. It is deeply unfair.
Good job i'll be buying a house in Thailand :-D
