So if for what ever reason you decide not to use this information, our experience and expertise, at the very least remember buying a business or property in Spain can be a very enriching affair, both financially and in terms of enhancing your happiness and quality of life. However this will only be the case if you get the purchase right. If you get the purchase wrong you run the risk of losing a substantial amount of money, either through capital loses or extra costs, and you could end up with a business or property in Spain that is nothing but a burden to you.

• Always do adequate research before you proceed to buy a business or property in Spain. This means finding out how the process works in Spain, and identifying the main risks.
• The dream of owning a business or property in Spain needs to be balanced by practical considerations, so be honest with yourself when deciding what kind of property you need. Wishful thinking alone will lead to poor decisions.
• Approach the purchase in a structured and organised way, and keep your wits about you at all times. Pursuing the dream of owning a business or property in Spain is no excuse for rash, risky decisions that you wouldn't take at home.
• Always start by creating a clear, written brief of your property requirements to guide you search.
• Retain a healthy sense of scepticism about the claims people make whilst trying to sell you a business or property.
• Read our testimonials. Don't think for one moment "it will never happen to me". That's what everyone says!
