Buying a property in Spain:
The purchaser will lodge a 10% deposit with their lawyer to take the property off the market and the price is then fixed, a date is then set between the purchaser and vendor for completion ( most sales are completed within 4 to 6 weeks but can be longer if both parties are in agreement ) The purchaser’s lawyer then draws up a private purchase contract that both parties will sign and then you are tied into the contract, the lawyer will do all the searches before handing over the purchaser’s 10% to the vendor.
Lawyers and conveyance:
Most lawyers here in Spain Charge 1% of the asking price of the property.
Who will sort out all the electric and water connections to the property:
The lawyer will complete this if required.
What do we have to pay above the asking price to cover all our costs:
If you budget for between 10% & 12% this should cover all your costs including your lawyer’s fee.
Is a Spanish property a good investment:
We have all seen the poor performance of the UK Stock Market and pensions over the last 5 years and property has proved to be a safe investment. As the UK property market peaks many of our clients see Spanish property is an excellent investment opportunity as well as a chance to own a holiday home in a fantastic location.
