 A Brief Guide to Buying Property In Spain
Selecting estate agents in Spain
Most of the estate agencies selling property in Spain to foreigners are actually foreign owned and run companies. This means that you will not have a problem finding an estate agency that can take care of you in English.
Having said that, some of the foreign companies selling property in Spain lack professionalism, not to mention scruples, so you need to be careful whom you deal with. Using a good, professional agent can significantly increase your chances of a successful purchase, whilst using an unscrupulous, or simply incompetent agent can spell disaster. Look out for estate agents who listen to your needs, and be wary of those who seem more interested in showing you what they want to sell. Take everything you hear about ‘great investments’ with a pinch of salt. Also, when it comes to buying property in Spain, you are well advised to work with estate agencies that focus solely on Spain, and that don’t sell property in other countries.
