BUYING TIPS
Buying a property on a weekend in Spain can be very frustrating and stressful so give yourselves enough time to think.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you pay commissions until all notary papers are signed.
Your accomadation should be near the properties you are to view as this will give you an idea of the area before you buy.
If buying a property in Spain you will need to have access to your 10% deposit.
Never think properties you view one week will be there the next, properties in Spain are selling fast.
Give your agents details about what you want from the property, as this will save your time and the agents.
Inland properties give you a better value for money than the coast, because inland is the 'Real Spain'.
Never allow yourself to feel pressured in to buying a property you are not sure about always use a Lawyer.
Spain is not always ' mañana mañana '.
Property programs shown on T.V are for ratings not all everyone has a luxury villa with 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, sea views, garden and pool on there books for 100,000 euros.
A lot of inland estate agents do not open weekends to view properties.
