Buying property in any unknown country is very difficult and before undertaking in such a process you should take some measures.
First of all research your options.
The most simple option is to turn up in Spain and start looking around as the research can be much more effective and increase your understanding of the options that face you, if you do some prior research before coming to Spain.
The best place for starting research is internet as it's the right place for searching property and agents and both information-rich and interactive. Nowhere else you can find so much useful information with so little effort, wherever you are in the world. But never forget there are thousands of websites dedicated to selling property in Spain and if a company has an amateur website and poor standards online, it may be fair to assume that they also have poor standards offline.
Always focus on quality. Another easy way to do prior research into the options that face you, are International property shows which getting bigger every year with an increasing number of exhibitors from Spain. And also there are large amount of certain newspapers and magazines in every country that have established a reputation as good source of information on international property.
The second step is choosing the right estate agent in Spain. Nowadays it's not a problem to find an estate agents selling property in Spain to foreigners. It's very important to find highly professional company that protects your interests both through its own standards and its market expertise. Better to look for companies that focus on what you need rather that what they have to sell, that provide you with detailed information and expertise, that have professional customer-service procedures and documentation, and that never attempt to pressurize you.
After finding the right agent or agency you should be able to draw up a shortlist of properties that match your requirements before even coming to Spain. In this term a good agent should provide you with considerable detail and pictures for each property which will help to focus your energies on property that really interests you, rather than having to see property that your agent wants to sell you for whatever reasons.
When you have drawn up a shortlist that you are satisfied with it is time to visit Spain and see the Spanish property for sale for yourself but remember that during your visit there will always be the opportunity to refocus your search, or see properties that were not on the shortlist.
Visiting Spain to view your Spanish property for sale you should beware the cheap inspection trip as many companies offer inspection trips at absurdly low prices, otherwise you will be herded around in a large group with other buyers, visiting properties that it suits the agent to sell rather than you to buy, and all the while subjected to different forms of pressure selling.
It's also very important to be prepared to return empty handed as it's better to try again later than to buy and live to regret about it. Never let yourself be manipulated by any agent and let him know from the beginning that your interests are paramount. Visiting each Spanish property for sale be sure to take notes of the good and bad points of each, and any other distinguishing features, so that you have access to all the relevant information when the time comes to make a decision or bring a digital camera in case that you can take photos of the properties and developments you visit.
Most Estate agents may not be able to give you adequate legal advice when buying property as it is likely that they are neither trained lawyers nor sufficiently independent from the seller to represent you true interests. Thus you will need to hire an independent Spanish lawyer to make your purchase legally sound and secure and who can provide you with an integrated service that not only protects you in the purchase but also optimizes your fiscal situation as a result of the purchase. Also the lawyer need to speak your own language provide you with translated documents.
Never forget to read all documents before signing them, no matter what anyone says as the final responsibility always rests with you. For many years foreigners have been buying property in Spain and it won't be difficult to find a good Spanish lawyer who will look after your interests and deal with you in your own language. Remember that the best way to find a lawyer is by recommendation, either from a friend or a good agent.
Next step will be making offer for Spanish property for sale. If you finally find a property that you are happy with, and that matches your needs and budget then it is time to initiate proceedings to buy it.
Every person who purchased property can confirm that there is more room for negotiations over price and terms when buying a resale property from a private individual than a newly built property from a developer.
Don't forget before signing contract to make sure that the property belongs to the seller in its totality, and that it is free of debts and charges. Your agent and lawyer should advise you on the appropriate level of due diligence in any particular case but never accept advice to forego due diligence entirely, especially not when purchasing resale from a private individual.
Due diligence can involve some or all of the following checks such as Property Registry Report, Title Deeds, Official Plan of the Property, Property Survey, tax check, utilities, Community by-laws and fees and Developer insurance.
The last and less important term is the ownership structure for Spanish property for sale. As soon as you purchase a property in Spain you have decide on the best ownership structure.
You can buy your Spanish property for sale only in your name, or jointly with one or more family members such as your spouse and children and remember whatever you choose doing it will have important consequences in terms of the taxes you pay in your lifetime, inheritance taxes, and the claims of your family or other people to the property. In this important decision you will probably need specialist advice if you are to determine the optimal ownership structure for your circumstances.
