Until recently, buying an off-plan property was a great way to secure a bargain but also something to be very cautious about. However, times have changed.

For some property investors, investing in a new-build can seem like a risky investment. However, thanks to recent updates in Spanish consumer law, if you choose the right Developer the risk involved is minuscule and you will be rewarded with a brand new home at a very affordable price.
