General information about Spain and Spanish properties

  Introduction

Those pages feature the „F.A.Q.“ (frequently asked questions) of the INSERT Spanish properties web-site. Here, you will find answers to some very general questions. This section will be progressively completed.

Unless otherwise stated, all the links are in English, and when they are not, they generally lead to multi-lingual pages or quite self explanatory pages, and sometimes both. The items without publication data have been written between Y2K and the end of 2002, and some of these items may be somehow obsolete, and may not offer an accurate information anymore. Though I do my best to provide safe information and links, I cannot guarantee the information found on pages linked here, when their publication has its origin out of the INSERT team.
