Many of us in Spain, whether residents or visitors, need to express ourselves in Spanish when we buy, sell, build or fix up real estate or when we report housing issues to a landlord. Sometimes the Spanish words are similar to their English equivalents, other times they are not. And sometimes one forgets the exact word but has an idea of what it is in Spanish.
Angloinfo, a website focused on supporting expatriates, has put together a guide to some of the most commonly needed housing-related English words and phrases and their Spanish translations. You will find vocabulary that is useful for do-it-yourselfers and for anyone dealing with builders, suppliers, real estate agents or landlords. The English words/terms are listed alphabetically.
