As part of our spanish property service we can offer advice on legal work, the spanish economy and obtaining a spanish mortgage through spanish banks.

We try and offer true flexibility on the length of your inspection trip and dates, unlike other companies who are set with standard inspection trip dates i.e. Saturday to Tuesday, we can also try and cater for most days/dates and also the longer the trip (i.e. an extra day), can make all the difference. We try to work around what dates are best for you and make sure you will have long enough to view available properties and developments.

The majority of foreign buyers of Spanish real estate end up using a Spanish property service as they can provide a valuable service if they are ethical, competent and professional but the problem is that many Spanish property services fail to meet these conditions, and dealing with an unethical or incompetent Spanish property service can expose buyers to considerable risks.

There are many incompetent and unscrupulous Spanish property services and some of the biggest risks that buyers run can be traced back to the competence and attitude of these services but fortunately for buyers there are many professional, competent and ethical services in the market. Only a good Spanish property service can provide a valuable service to international buyers and without them it’s very difficult to find the right property that can suit all your needs. Despite the fact that the internet is starting to challenge the old order and create new models that put buyers and sellers in touch Spanish property services are still the dominant for foreign buyers as they have knowledge and experience in the local property market.

Talking about incentives of property services one can say that they earn a commission from the vendor only when they intermediate in a successful transaction and in a resale transaction the real estate agent will usually be paid the commission after the deeds have been signed before Notary, which is when the buyer pays the vendor in full. But in some cases the Spanish property service becomes entitled to the commission once a deposit contract which called “contrato de arras” has been signed and the deposit which is usually 10% paid by the buyer.

However in this case the Spanish property service will earn a commission even if the sale falls through. You never should be surprised the fact that the selection shown by service is manipulated in favour of the property service’s commissions. Always remember during dealing with Spanish property service that they are paid by the vendor, which means they are not paid to look after the buyer's interests.

It’s very important to know how the Spanish property service should work. The agents must be mature and speak good Spanish, demonstrate real experience and knowledge of the local property market, respond to your enquiries in a quick and professional manner, make an effort to understand your needs and requirements from the outset, help you to understand what the local real estate market has to offer and what you can realistically expect to buy given your budget and requirements, provide you with clear and useful property particulars or reports, show you a selection of suitable properties given your budget and requirements, be unequivocal about what is included with a property, for instance furniture, and back it up with documentation.

When dealing with resale properties, agents should have a file with all the relevant documentation on the property, be honest, erring on the side of caution, on matters such as rental potential, expected capital gains and the real costs of purchasing property in Spain, not put you under any pressure during the process, accompany you to the signing of the deeds, keep you informed of construction progress and the dates when stage payments become due when buying off-plan, make it clear what level of after-sales service they provide and finally they should be open about the commission they are earning if you ask.

After finding a right property service and agent always stay in control and work with several services and make it clear to all of them that you are doing so. This fact will demonstrate that you are not a 'captive' client and helps to keep them on their toes and also it will give you wider access to information from different sources, which leaves you better informed and harder to hoodwink. At the start give the agent written brief of your requirements and make it clear that you do not wish to be put under any pressure to buy. It is in your interests to establish a good working relationship with one or more property services in Spain and good services devote a lot of time and effort to their clients and should be treated with courtesy and respect.
