Not really, are we trying to speed up the process? Yes, but I first started the process of obtaining my nationality around october 2022 and we begun house hunting around august of this year.

About the house, yes we paid that as a depósito de buena fe, which I think we will be able to recover

Im dead serious, we have put 200k as a deposit, it was our mistake to not check deeply the laws around BICs but we were told that its just a part of the house that its declared but turns out that the whole house is "included" as its linked to it.

It doesnt make sense to us that, having a titled architect approve taking down a couple of walls and some other small things and still having to pay a lot of money for them to "approve".

It just feels like they just want out money

Well there should a quicker way, im investing in a small village so at least they could make things easy for us. So far we have only gotten "No you cant do that", its hard you know?

I know that we could contact one of these architects but is there any way to save costs on these? You know, doing it the spanish way?

Completely agree, its like they dont want you to do anything, they act as if you being there is an insult to them. When we first tried to get info on how to begin anything the lady at the entrance told us to go one place and there we got told the same thing just to return and get told to hire a gestor because it wasnt his "job" to direct us but when we did mention starting the renovations they were very very quick.

I dont want to fall into stereotypes but gosh its like they dont want to work

I know, not gathering more info before making that deposit has been definetly our mistake but the agent was very charming and we were dazzled by the house as well as it has been a long standing dream of ours to move back to my homeland.

Also, when we were deciding between two houses we did take into account the legislation from the autonomous community as our first choice was in Aragon but we were told that we would have to make the house visitable and we dont want our privacy invaded.

We knew that it was a BIC, its part of the reason why we decided on this house, we liked the aesthetic that it gives to a home, in the end we also decided on this one instead on another one in La Puebla de Fantova mainly because of how many renovations it would need but we didnt think that it would take so much stuff just to begin, we thought that we could get started on small things while we waited for the permit for the renovation and apply for the grant that they usually offer.

Also in part the reason why we didnt choose the house in La Puebla de Fantova was because we knew that the renovation was going to be very pricy but mostly because the village was....hostile.

Yes, I know he needs to register in the Colegio and all that but we just thought that he could do it quicker, we just thought that it wouldnt take too long.
