Building Your Home in Spain
Building a new home in Spain has to be a dream for many people. Carefully selecting your own plot and then instructing architects to design your dream house and then contracting builders to build for forever house. How exciting is that! This seminar was all about helping you turn that dream into reality and not into a nightmare.
We were joined by Jonathon Moreels, a Chartered Member of the Royal Institute of British Architects and a Member of the Colegio de Arquitectos de Madrid and Alison de Cotta founder of Mortgage Matters Spain
Jonathon talks you through from the idea, design and construction for your dream home and Alison covers financing. Alex Radford also shared his experience when he had a home built in Spain.
