Pitfalls and headaches in buying an apartment in Spain

KATA08163100

Hello!


I'm a EU citizen and I like Spain but I'm very aware that there are also cons to live out there too.


So, I want to ask for those who have moved to Spain how was the process of buying an apartment, what mistakes they did and what hidden problematic things they faced after they moved in that place ?

Also:

If you hired a lawyer , how did you found a honest-good one ?

If you hired some type of home inspector to check the condition of that property?

What were the costs ?

How hard is to work with their banks?

How bad is the bureaucracy of spanish public institutions ?

What rules do they have in a building with flats ?

And how is their public health system?


I like very much Madrid but I know it's very expensive. Valencia is also a nice city that I like.  Any good recommendation of other well connected cities or areas are welcomed!


Many Thanks!
