Discount Divorce....

Can't shift your property ? How about this for a novel idea, which I found in the Telegraph this morning

The latest offer from a property company in Huelva province in southwestern Spain promises a free divorce lawyer to couples who buy one of their three bedroom houses for 68,000 euros (£61,000).

The deal by Geimsa realtors hopes to capitalise on the number of married couples delaying divorce proceedings because they cannot afford to set up new homes in the current economic climate.

"A divorce is very expensive," said Vanesa Contioso of Geimsa. "So we are offering new clients the free use of our lawyers to handle the process."

Who said romance was dead ?

However their previous offer almost redeems their poor taste, as this initiative follows a 100,000 euro offer by the same company of a brand new apartment and all-expenses-paid wedding for partners thinking of tying the knot. This deal has already been taken up by dozens of couples.

It's certainly clever marketing of the apartments as this news was reported worldwide. How can they beat this ? Perhaps offering discounted funeral packages, should you buy an apartment and pop your clogs whilst living there......

Adios for now,

Jackson.
