REALLY!!! LOOKING TO BUY A PROPERTY IN ENGLAND?
“We own one ourselves and have family who have lived there for years”
If you were a Spaniard looking to buy a property in England would this give you confidence for this to be your number one go to company to help you? Probably not!! So why would this be a recommendation for you if the roles were reversed and you were looking to buy a property in Spain?
Buying a property yourself in a particular country does not make you an expert on how the market with all its nuances operates. Yes, it is great that you have family around you when you visit but does this make you a property professional?
” We speak Spanish”…. well we can order food and drink and get by on a day to day basis!! That’s great and makes life there even more enjoyable, but this of course will not help a buyer if there are documents to understand or translate. Relying on a translation online can be iffy, just as predictive text is when texting!!
There are many people around who, with the best will in the world, want to help you buy a property in Spain. They may well put you in touch with a Spanish agent who may or may not be informative and able to help you. Nothing wrong with that!! Be aware they may not be able to offer you such a wide range of properties in a given area, as they are selling what that particular agent is offering. As within the UK not every estate agent in a given area will offer all the available properties, only those that are on their books. If you are working with a network of agents in an area you stand more chance of being offered a wide range of properties.
Local knowledge by living or visiting an area of course has its benefits but still does not make you a property expert!
If you wish to purchase in Spain you need to have an independent agent who works with a network of trusted companies and developers across a variety of locations offering a wide choice of properties. Why limit the choice available by only looking at a small selection which may or may not include what you are looking for!
As a company, before giving recommendations of areas and property types in Spain we check with you your personal preferences. We do not make you fit properties, we show you those which will be of interest to you and which fit your guidelines.
