Property Buyers Helpful Tips
- Find an established, reputable English speaking estate agent with offices in both
Spain and the UK. Most reputable agents have offices in both Spain and the UK and offer a
full support service before during and after you move into your new home.
- Make sure that you have a clear idea of what you want and what is Most important to
you and discuss these requirements with your agent, the more he or she knows the better
they will be able to assist you in finding your ideal property.
- Make sure your funds are available, properties in Spain sell out very quickly quite
literally a property viewed in the morning is often sold in the afternoon. New
developments usually sell before building even starts. It is essential that you have
available the means to place a deposit and complete the purchase of your dream home
within the time frames.
- Be aware of the extras not included in many of the 'window' prices of properties.
Most reputable agents would suggest you calculate an extra 10% on top of the price of
your home for taxes and legal expenses - typically these would be made up by follows.
Be ready to decide when you find the right property - as we have already
mentioned homes sell very quickly in Spain. If get the feeling you have found the right
place for you then reserve it - some developers will allow our clients 24 hours on a
property before putting a deposit down. Obviously we don't want to take advantage of this
arrangement, however, this can be worth considering if you have a couple of properties
you are struggling to decide between. In order to place a firm reservation on a property
you will normally be asked to place a 6000 euro deposit and this will be arranged through
your bank and legal representative - we would expect serious purchasers to have this
deposit readily available either in traveller's cheques, cash or credit card.
- Organise good legal representation through an established legal Practice whose staff
speak good English.
We can recommend excellent solicitors who can advise you on all aspects of Spanish
law both during your home purchase and after. |
