Holiday Homes from Hell - ITV

Am I alone in wondering why we have not declared war on Spain? (I accept that may be a slight over reaction)

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from the Spanish.

Unless they can justify their actions of course - which I doubt.

    It would certainly stop me from buying a place in Spain - assuming I could afford to in the first place of course!!!

    How can they knock down a property before the court of appeal has made judgement...?

    I don't think they've ever got over Gibraltar, and probably not too keen on what's happened to Malaga and Benidorm, so if they can find a way to get revenge on the Brits.....

    Brits make stupid buying decisions in all countries. They leave their brains on the planes.

    Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece, Spain, Cyprus, to name but a few. What’s to understand?

    There’s nothing special about Spain.

    If you’re talking about the one I think you’re talking about, it was clearly not buildable land.

    People are too keen to get into a property with sweeteners like ‘free’ builders’ leccy and water, and forget the final paperwork. It’s usually ‘in the post’ and it never comes.

    Sit tight for a couple of years and then listen for the ‘dozers…
