Why The Banks Could Take Your Property - Even If You Pay On Time
Submitted by Yolanda Solo on Fri, 08/05/2009 - 14:46.A article in El Mundo has brought to light a worrying clause in mortgage contracts - if the value of the property falls more than 20%, the banks have the right to demand further security i.e. with other goods to cover the shortfall.
This nice little tidbit originally comes fom the Ley Hipotecaria of 1981, but worryingly, was restated in the state bulletin of 2 May. Those who purchased 2 or 3 years ago are very likely to have seen a 20% or more decrease in the value of their property.

Six Examples of Personal Empowerment from being a Native Spainer
Submitted by Susan Bearder on Wed, 08/04/2009 - 18:32.
I wrote my diary for nearly two years on NativeSpain and felt that it had a natural time of finishing at the End of the second year. Part of my thinking or more accurately emotional response was – how do I know if this is worthwhile – does anyone read this? A bit sad that there aren't any statistics and rarely and then only the ed. ever left a comment.
