Buying A Resale Property In Spain
Sometimes buying a resale property in Spain can be a bit of a worry, with surveys not quite being the norm here yet, you might wonder what you are buying? Is it structurally sound? Is it legal? How do I get work done to the property if required? How will I know if all the debt has been cleared from the previous owner? How much commission am I going to get charged by my agent?
We will guide you through this process and take the worry out of what is a very pleasurable, exciting time in your life! We go to great lengths to ensure that all information in this regard is known and that problems can be avoided later in the buying process.
We also help you organise the process of completion and will change all relevant contracts, i.e rates, electric, water & telephone.
If work needs to be done to the property or you want the property checked out prior to purchase, we have a list of reputable builders all with testimonials to their name.
We will be able to arrange N.I.E numbers & introductions to local banks, insurance companies etc.
We ALWAYS keep our commission charges very low, no more than 3% will be put on any property (in some cases it is slightly less), even if we use outside contacts to obtain the right property for you. The norm for commission charges here in Spain is anything from 3% - 10%. We want to be the ones that are making the sales, hence the reason for our charges being so low.
Location Location Location
This is the next decision for you! Basically you have these choices, and they are:-
Inland Country properties or Spanish town/village
This type of location gives you every chance to lead a more Spanish life. Its an option that is mainly chosen for permanent living & offers the opportunity to own either a town house, apartment or Finca.
A Finca is a country property which often comes with a plot of land which will vary in size, having said that you can also purchase newer property which will also come with a plot of land varying in size depending on the building requirements in the area.
Being inland you often do get more for your money depending on location of course.
You have all the facilities you need in many inland towns nowadays; you just need to do your homework to pick the best place with the amenities that suit your own individual needs. Inland properties are becoming more popular for people who had originally chosen a coastal location for their holiday home and now want to move to a more Spanish way of life too.
Its also a chance for you to integrate into Real Spanish life, whilst there are an increasing number of ex-pats taking this option, you will find that you can actively be a part of the village / town life, which is encouraged by the town halls and local Spanish people alike.
Being based in “Real Spain” we have a good selection of inland properties at very competitive prices, look at our website to see the various options.
