Hi everyone,
I am thinking of buying a vacation home in the Estepona area, but have noticed some articles in the English and Spanish press about squatter problems in Spain.
I wanted to ask if anyone who has been living on the Costa del Sol or has a vacation home there if they feel this is a worry for residents, as there have been press reports that organised squatter gangs are now targeting vacation homes. I would also like to hear from anyone who has a property on a gated community, to hear their opinion on whether they feel their home is protected by the security services there.
Many thanks for your comments and advice in advance! I appreciate any help you could give with this matter, as I am finding it difficult to assess the risks involved here.
