Rustic Spanish Properties

Be careful about booking time off work, flights and hotels etc when you're going to look at properties you've fallen in love with online.

We came to Mora d'Ebre on Saturday specifically to view a finca we had fallen for. Numerous emails to the English estate agent, who knew we were arriving and where we would be staying.  Due to the dramas with Catalonia we found our Internet had been shut down. But finally got hold of this so called real estate agent. He sent a lovely local guy to show us around the outside of the fenced off property, with a view to getting the keys at 4pm.
At lunchtime he rang us and said are we prepared to buy whilst we are here. I said no, as we have our house on the market in Scotland.
All things went South after that call.
We awaited our 4pm pick up to show us the property (inside and out) and our local guy was a no show.
My partner texted the agent at 5pm, with no response and again at 5.30 to which a text came back, that apparently we have wasted this agents time, that we have no cash to buy (how does he know what we have in the bank?) and an offer was put on the finca anyway by other people....
We were gobsmacked.
So after 4 days here, we've seen the fenced off outside of a property.
This is not at all good for people wishing to purchase O/S.
We had to shut our shop for five days, flights, meals, travel etc.... And we've wasted this guys time???
Not happy at all.
