Spanish Property Portal puts you in direct contact with our advertisers who either have Spanish property for sale or rent. All our advertisers provide contact information where you can get further details on the local area and shops or nearest Airport etc. A useful tool that we have provided is our leave a message facility that you will find at the top of the search results page. This enables you to input your contact details and what you are looking for, your message is then passed on to all our advertisers and if they have a suitable property they will send you the details.
When you find a property that you want to buy you should take advice from either
a specialist English Solicitor, a Spanish Lawyer or a gestor who is not actually
a solicitor but a licensed professional similar to a licensed conveyancer in
England, however if you are buying with a mortgage you will find that the Bank
will make all checks necessary to complete on your sale. When deciding on a
budget for your new home in Spain you should also add around 10% of the purchase
price on for the additional costs of buying your property such as Legal fees and
IVA (VAT) and Transfer Tax.
Inspection Visits - If you are really serious about buying a property in Spain you will at some time go on an inspection visit. There is no point on going on an inspection visit if you are not prepared to buy a property and you don't have the means to pay a deposit. As property in Spain can move very quickly you need to be prepared to put a deposit down on a property if you see a property that you want. If you arrange an inspection visit via a Spanish Real Estate professional they will arrange for you to see a portfolio of properties on your trip based on your criteria and budget. You will be required to pay the deposit once you have decided on the property and the amount will be normally 10% or a lesser amount by agreement to hold the property.
