Briton discovers shared kitchen arrangement after buying home in Spain

Steven Najda, a 67-year-old from Yorkshire, bought a historic home in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain, for £110,000. He intended to create his dream home but discovered he must share the kitchen with two neighbors who have access rights. Despite confirming ownership details with his lawyer and the seller, Najda found strangers entering his kitchen. He has faced additional issues, including theft and unauthorized water connections, leading to significant financial and emotional stress. Najda has spent around €20,000 on repairs and improvements, but he feels overwhelmed by the situation. He now visits the property less frequently due to the ongoing challenges.
