We recommend that you give some thought to the following to prepare for buying a property in Spain; Do you genuinely want to buy or are you are really ‘just looking’? If you are really just looking that is absolutely fine with us! Have you created your ‘wish list’? Have you set your budget? Please think about the logical things that you want (beach front, golf property, inland etc., apartment, town house or villa etc.,) and also the emotional things you would like, the 'icing on the cake'. It is our desire to ‘get under the surface’ and to ‘see the bigger picture’ of what you really want, it is our taking the time to really get to know your wishes and needs that will make your time looking at properties all the more benificial. But if you have an 'open mind' that is fine too! Have you available a deposit (normally 3,000 Euros) to reserve the property you wish to buy and to take it off the market whilst you are here in Spain? Have you planned how you are going to finance the purchase of your place in the sun? You could pay in cash, or with a UK mortgage possibly arranged in principle before you left the UK, or we can recommend a Spanish mortgage provider (in which case we will take you to the appropriate organisation to arrange a Spanish mortgage for you). If you buy an ‘Off-Plan’ property from a developer you will contract to pay by set scheduled payments, the first payment (normally between 15% and 25% depending on the development) within 15 days to 45 days, again depending upon the developer. Scheduled stage payments will be agreed between you and the developer with the major payment upon legal completion. You pay your lawyer who will obtain Bank Guarantees for you – you do not pay us, you do not pay the builder nor the developer, apart from the initial €3,000 deposit that you will pay the builder or developer. If you buy a ‘Resale’ or 'Key Ready' property the sale normally goes from the initial €3,000 deposit through to legal completion very fast compared the UK time frames, and usually within 6 weeks. You pay your lawyer who will safeguard your monies for you – you do not pay the seller, apart from in some circumstances the initial €3,000 deposit.
