If Spain import gas from Rusia by sea , why don't they buy gas from Israel ?

The law stands with squatters. my friend had people like this staying in her villa for nearly 4 years. No rent, water or electricity payments from them. They brought in an 8-year-old girl and said it was family? No children at the time of rental? They stole everything in the villa and trashed the place.

Why does Spain have these pro-tenant / pro-squatter laws ?

It should t surprise anyone! It’s a socialist country.

You said the IBI was EUR1000, that's enormous. Over in Albox and the countryside in Almeria, the most expensive I have seen is EUR331 for the year and that is a EUR300k Cortijo 5 bed/6 bath with the bins costing another EUR150 a year . Most are half that

My favorite Spanish words that give me a giggle ayuda- help supermercado=supermarket sucio=dirty as in not clean not the other one. I know its not related to the video but I was doing my Spanish lesson (yes even though I am not going to Spain I will still continue to study the language) for somw reason hearing them in spanish makes me giggle lol

Back to U.K. next week, can’t wait for mash potato with butter and parsley

I dont understanding the squatting situation in Spain. Its so baffling. Imagine owning a house and strangers with their material (you dont know where theyve been) lay on your posessions…. Its digusting

No one should be allowed to owen more than one home. Greed greed greed

Tip for those struggling with the Renfe site booking tickets with non Spain credit debit cards: use the PayPal option.

Hi Stu, do you know why Spain does not have efficient laws to quickly evict squatters? Is it a matter of time until somebody gets injured? No sympathy with okupas

Interesting and accurate as usual. Just a brief comment. Here in Spain, unfortunately, It seems if you are a squatter, " okupa" , you have more rights and protectión than the honest and humilliated owners. And this is not only unfair but shameful. By the way, I am a decent and humble Spanish taxpayer citizen

Good for the home owner!!! If the authorities won’t do anything then what’s your options? Apparently these squatters haven’t missed many meals either.

I don’t blame them getting the squatters out!
I thought there was law now in tact against them?
That is sad the law is not supporting the owner of the house!

Fracking uses lots of chemicals mixed with lots of water it ends up as toxic waste , fracking is known to cause earth quakes / tremors as recorded in the UK .

Solar panels for hot water supply is brilliant .

Vigilante evictions 😅😅

All the time the law is ineffective against these squatter parasites, some people will become frustrated knowing the time and cost of removing them. I support them 100%. If someone takes your car, they are prosecuted. Your home is a far bigger investment. The law is wrong, if the government wants to have these people housed then they should provide the resources and not leave it to innocent homeowners.

Squatters was on my con list for my families extended visit to Spain. Since we were going to stay for as long as we were legally allowed, renting an apartment was on my list. What if we were visiting another part of Spain that was a great distance from where our rental was and squatters got in, then what? From what I understand the Spanish law was not on our side. So this was one of the reasons we choose not to go, the others were health related and I will not talk about those.

Lovely 😊 video Stuart 🤗

I know it's Spain and they have their laws but seeing you Stuart I was wondering what would happen in the Australian bush if Squatters moved into somebody's ranch house. Hmmm. Maybe the same as America where trespassers of any kind can be shot by law in many States if not all. Just a thought and not implying that Spanish laws are wrong as many other countries laws are the same as Spain regarding squatters. Just wondering.

Have a friend who had squatters move in over the Winter, use water and electricity as they wanted, demanded €1000 to move out and when she finally got into it they had stripped the place, taking all their stuff in order to be ready for their new squat. The law is an ass in this case.

Why would people coming to visit expect free transportation, or free anything, this is being funded out of people’s taxes, and they shouldn’t be expected to pay for tourists. The mind boggles.

Dead right to get them out, who’s paying for the house, electricity, etc.
Govt should be looking at this and other events in Spain.

Looks like the squatters were having quite the nice time on someone else's dime.

Remember the fuss over young people in Wales not being able to buy a cottage because they were all being snapped up for holiday homes? The fault was the farmers greed selling these cottages at ridiculous prices The same now in Spain. The property owners just take the cash from wealthier incomers. Too bad if their grandchildren cant afford a home. The hypocrisy

Ruling in favor of a squatter is ridiculous.

Stu, no central heating in Alicante? In winters it can be 4 degrees, that is normal here in Benissa ((Alicante/Valencia), ofcourse you need it!!!

Don’t buy property in Spain ! The law doesn’t support you.

Indeed I do hope the squatter presses charges, because that was a violent way to remove someone from needing to be sheltered.
No humans in need should have to face to barrel of a gun, threat to being beaten with a bat.
This madness has to STOP, either get them shelter or leave them alone.

The squatters have more rights than the hard-working owner who saved hard to buy the property ?

Ice maker ? … COSTCO ! 👍
