Buying a Property or Land

The buying process in Spain can and should be a fairly simple procedure providing, of course, that you employ the services of a solicitor. When you find the property that you wish to purchase please be assured that all paperwork, including title to both house and land, clear ownership, free of debts, permissions etc is checked by the solicitor prior to paying any monies. Holding deposits etc are not necessary and should not be paid to agents.
You may find that you run out of time on your first trip and this will mean another visit to complete the purchase. This is preferable to paying a deposit before the end of your holiday only to find there is a problem and you cannot get your money back. If the property is worth buying then it is worth waiting to be sure that everything is correct.
During the process and in the weeks that follow you will have lots of question to ask. Again please be assured that we are here to guide you, not just to help you to buy, but to help you settle into your new home and lifestyle. Our clients in residence can testify to this on a face-to-face basis.

Enjoying your new lifestyle

Whether you will buy a new house, one requiring renovation or perhaps you will build your own on a large plot of land with great views you will find that you may have Spanish neighbours. There are no large urbanisations here and new laws have been passed to ensure that the area does not become overbuilt. That is why the Spanish neighbours will probably be the norm. They are happy, friendly people and it is normal for them to visit at some stage bringing some of their home-grown produce as a gift.
Living here is a rewarding experience. The lifestyle is totally stress free. Goatherds in the fields with their flocks, tractors which really belong in museums still work the fields and hillsides, donkeys plod along carrying baskets, drive for miles without meeting another vehicle, park almost anywhere and not have to pay, enjoy great food in the local ventas, beautiful unspoilt scenery, the smiling faces, the sunshine, deep blue skies, the peace. It really is an escape in time.
