Viewing trips – Frequently asked questions
Why is viewing property with a reputable agent so important?
Conducting property inspections with a well respected Spanish property agent helps to ensure you receive accurate answers to key questions, such as:
- Is this a good area for rentals?
- How much is the cost of living?
- Are property prices rising here?
- How close am I to key amenities such as shops, bus routes, doctors etc.?
- Is this a sensible buy based on my needs?
In addition to helpful and unbiased advice, a trustworthy agent who is employed by a firm such as Spanish Legal Homes will recognise a ‘hard sell’ does not work. It is only a professional approach where the desires of the property hunter are carefully matched with the property type, its cost and location that will be successful.
"We would just like to say how impressed we were with your service and the advice we received during our inspection trip." Mark & Celia
If you go it alone and choose to view properties with multiple agents, you will risk viewing the same properties multiple times, as some resale and new development Spanish properties can be listed with numerous agents. Also, less credible agents may choose to limit the properties they show to ones that offer the biggest sales commission.
Help to avoid properties that aren’t 100% legal
As a registered property agent with AIPP, we must make sure that all the appropriate paperwork is completed, that you have suitable legal representation and have the adequate finances in place to enable you to receive your deeds (Escitura) once the purchase is safely completed.
Remember Spanish Legal Homes only list and show you 100% legal properties and in 30 years we have completed over 10,000 property sales without a single case of litigation, so you can rest assured.
