How much tax relief will I get? Tax relief is granted on the amount of the interest paid, at the standard rate subject to the overall limits as set out in Leaflet IT60 (Home Loan Interest Relief - 2000/2001 onwards) . Special provisions apply for "First Time Buyers". The period for which relief is available is 7 years (this does not apply to mortgages taken out before 6 April 1998). » Back to Top 9. How can I claim the relief? From 1 January 2002, tax relief for home mortgage interest is no longer given through the tax system but is instead granted at source. This means that your mortgage lender gives you the benefit of the tax relief element on the mortgage interest on behalf of the Revenue Commissioners. Your mortgage repayment is reduced by the amount of the tax relief. Your lender in turn claims this amount from Revenue. Any future adjustments in the tax relief (for example, arising from changes in interest rates) will be made automatically by the lender on behalf of Revenue. It is not be necessary to claim mortgage interest relief in the annual tax return, and it no longer appears on your Notice of Tax Credits. Borrowers who are taking out new mortgages must complete a TRS1 form. Your lender will supply you with a TRS1 form. Forms can also be obtained from the TRS Section, Collector-Generals, Sarsfield House, Francis Street, Limerick. Further details are available on the Leaflet TRS (Mortgage Interest Tax Relief at Source) . » Back to Top 10. If I sell my house will I have to pay Capital Gains Tax? No. If the house (including grounds of up to one acre) has been occupied as your sole or main residence throughout your period of ownership you will be exempt from capital gains tax on the sale. » Back to Top 11. What happens if I had let part of the house or used part of the house for business purposes? Full exemption may not be due if only part of the house has been used as your residence. In this case an apportionment will be made to arrive at the exempt portion of the total gain and you will have to pay capital gains tax on the balance. » Back to Top 12. What happens if my property has "development value"? Where your property has development value i.e. if it is sold for a price higher than its normal current use value then the relief from capital gains tax as outlined above is confined to what it would be if the property did not have development value. » Back to Top

Reviews Synopsis This guide to buying a property in Spain offers first-hand advice on where to stay, dealing with estate agents and builders and the types of properties available. It covers building your own home, renovating a ruin, and renting a cosy cottage. From the Author 'After 38 years of corporate life, work was giving little satisfaction. A change was necessary. I wanted to stop work but knew I couldn't simply retire and live happily in the UK. I still needed a challenge. Finally I decided to move to Spain. Why? Because Spain is relatively close to home, it has an excellent climate and the cost of living is lower than in Northern Europe. During my life I've made some good and bad decisions - but coming to Spain was one of the best I've made. I now live in a town house, on the edge of a Spanish village. The back door opens onto a path leading to the mountains. The front bedroom window overlooks the Med only a few kilometres away. The neighbours are all Spanish. It doesn't get much better than that.'

Customer Review: Write an online review and share your thoughts with other shoppers! Don't waste your time or money , October 6, 2005 Reviewer: feeMag from Dublin, Ireland I can see how this guy managed to buy a house in Spain. He wrote a book that is padded to the hilt with useless information fo fund it. If you want to know what the weather or the people in Spain are like then you can read about it in this book. The amount of helpful information about buying property in Spain can be found in about 2 pages, information that you would probably find online. Seriously don't waste your money by buying this book, save it for your house in Spain. Was this review helpful to you? 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful: A really practical guide to buying a house in Spain , June 30, 2003 Reviewer: Richard Parker from Bradford, England I found this book very helpful, especially the explanations of all the different legal documents. None of the other books I considered explain the legal documents involved in buying a Spanish property quite as clearly. The sample documents helped me to understand what was asked of me. As somebody who has never dealt with Spanish solicitors and agents before, I was glad to get a low-down on what they do and what to look out for from this book. A really useful book; well done, Harry King! Was this review helpful to you? 18 of 23 people found the following review helpful: Look elsewhere!! , June 4, 2003 Reviewer: Mr N Batcheler from London United Kingdom If you've never been to Spain before, know absolutely nothing about the country, and don't perhaps possess at least a minimal ammount of common sense then you might, just might, find something in this book of some use. Otherwise I would urge you not to waste your time or money by buying this book - I made the mistake so you don't have to! The style of writing is amateurish to say the least, the layout has obviously been designed by someone that's just bought some new software and wants to use all it's features at once, the content is shallow and next to useless as a guide to buying property. All in all I am amazed that this book ever made it into print, it really shouldn't have. I've only given it one star as it's not possible to give none! Was this review helpful to you? 54 of 58 people found the following review helpful: Buying a property in spain , November 9, 2002 Reviewer: mozz43 from Leeds, West Yorkshire United Kingdom If you,like me are considering buying a property in spain,either for permenant living (as i am)or soley for holidays and rental purposes buy and read this book before you do anything else. The book deals with all aspects of buying and all the legal side of a purchase in spain, and all the strange spainsh laws that us English do not understand,such as checking that the property has no debts attatched to it or if you buy and it has YOU are responsable for them. This book is well written,and in most part (not the law side)very easy to understand ,and has informed me of a lot of things i did not know which is very valuable when you are spending a lot of your hard earned cash on a purchase in a different contry with such uncommon laws,i would highly recommend this book if you are considering a place in the sun.
