Searching for a property in Spain?
Whether you want to retire in Spain, start afresh, make an investment or use the property as a holiday home, there are some important items to consider when searching for your Spanish property.
We’ve pulled together some key points for you to keep in mind when searching for Spanish properties for sale.
Arrange your finances first
Before you start looking, we recommend your finances are organised so you know what you can afford. Finding a Spanish property can be time consuming but having a suitable budget in place will help you manage your search and act quickly if required.
When planning your budget it’s important to understand the deposit, legal fees and taxes that will be required to complete your Spanish property purchase.
Our UK based financial advisors can offer guidance on the costs to buy in Spain and unbiased advice and support on sourcing funding in the UK or Spain. Areas our team advise on include; UK and Spanish mortgages, re-mortgages, equity release, secured and unsecured loans.
Know what you want from your Spanish property
Now you know your budget; deciding what you want from a property will significantly help in focusing your search.
Firstly, we would recommend thinking about the area you would like to live in. Here’s a rundown of the most popular areas:
- Costa Blanca has it all! From gorgeous weather, award winning beaches, picturesque towns and low cost of living. Properties start from just €75,000
- Murcia is a golfer’s dream. Located just below Costa Blanca it has similar benefits, from low cost living and stunning beaches. Properties start from €75,000
- Costa del Sol is luxury living by the sea; imagine villas, white beaches, bars and restaurants and lots of sun! Properties start from €150,000
Then think about the principal uses of the property. For example, if it is intended for retirement, you may want to be close to local transport and amenities. Alternatively, if it’s used as a holiday home or rental property, you may want a private pool.
Other key considerations should include type of property for sale e.g. villa, apartment or bungalow, the number of bedrooms, proximity to the beach & local amenities and whether you’d like a new build property or resale.
Ensure you have the right legal guidance
Legal advice and guidance are a necessity when buying property, especially abroad. It is your responsibility to ensure the legal guidance you receive throughout the process is accurate and compliant.
