Many thanks for your help
In rich person's terms, €500,000 is peanuts...look at the Classifieds in this newspaper to see plenty of property around that mark. We want bigger spending than that from people who'd normally not be alliwed on this island than that!
The whole system needs to be scrapped. It encourages money of dubious origin and with property prices rising so fast, most buyers will come into this price bracket soon anyway.
