Apparently, Britons are spending £6 billion a year on the purchase of second homes a staggering £4 billion more than two years ago. We at The Rights Group felt it would be useful to put together a glossary of terms that we use every day but which may be a little alien to would-be property purchasers in Spain. We are constantly striving to increase the level of information available to Northern Europeans who may be attracted to the idea of buying in Spain but who may equally be daunted by the press in recent months, which has portrayed our market as a den of thieves. It's not, particularly if you approach it with your eyes wide open seeking advice and assistance early in your quest for your dream property and making certain that the professional advice you receive is wholly independent. We see this as a "living" glossary, so if you come across words and phrases that could usefully be added please let me know at mark@therightsgroup.com . We hope you'll find it useful.

Testimonials Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy the ever-expansive tools and ideas that you offer at REIClub and how I am like a kid in a candy store whenever I visit your site. I told one friend to tie a rope around my waist so he can pull me away from the computer whenever I'm at your site cause there is so much information, some times I find myself there for hours! So, please keep up the good work! Your information helps not only to inform me but, mainly inspires me.......and it sets my motivation and gives me a positive mindset to go out there and make it happen! Thank you!!!! Keep the emails coming on updates as I look forward to them! Alan Michael Grella Real Estate Investor Las Vegas, NV   Thank you for helping me enrich my life, too. Participating in the forums, sharing my experiences, and learning from others at the same time has allowed me to evolve beyond the one-dimensional investor that I had been before discovering the wealth of experience and expertise that is freely shared in online real estate forums such as this one. David E. Toelkes Real Estate Investor Pawleys Island, SC   This is without question the best real estate related website I have seen. It is very user friendly, easy to navigate, and well organized. The forums and articles are a wealth of information. I have seen so many questions asked, and to see the experienced investors answering them is what makes this site better than any other site out there. In the future, as I gain experience, I hope I can help people as others have helped me. Just reading the articles and forums has given me more information than I thought possible. I personally thank Tim, and all of the people who participate in helping others better themselves. This is a great website, and it is great because of the people.
