Are squatters prowling your property?

The surge in international second home buyers on the Costa del Sol has inadvertently increased the risk of vacant homes attracting squatters. These individuals unlawfully occupy properties, causing damage, distress, and legal headaches for homeowners. International homeowners face additional challenges due to language barriers and unfamiliarity with local legal intricacies.

Facing legal challenges with Squatters?

Navigating the legal landscape surrounding squatter eviction in a foreign country like Spain can be a daunting task. Squatting laws vary, and international property owners may find themselves entangled in complex legal proceedings. This highlights the critical need for a local ally who can look after your holiday home when you are away. It is a valuable advantage to have a trusted local ally, who speaks Spanish and can contact the authorities and the alarm company if squatters break into your holiday home. You will get peace of mind all year round by having someone who knows the local real estate market, the regulations, and who can also provide prompt and effective solutions to protect your home and take action in case the worst happens.
