The property market in Spain is governed by different rules than in Poland. When deciding to buy a house on the Costa del Sol, it is worth knowing the specifics of the local market to avoid making common mistakes. Below are some tips.
Contracting with several agencies
Often clients who come to the Costa del Sol looking for a villa to buy will make appointments with several agencies. Why is it not worth doing this? Because all good agencies have access to an up-to-date database of listings – so they don’t have exclusive offers. All you have to do is make an appointment with one agent and tell him your expectations, your needs, your estimated budget, and he will find suitable offers according to the parameters presented and be your best advisor. The way Agnes Inversiones operates can be likened to the role of “personal shopper”, that is, an advisor with access to the offers of all the real estate agencies on the Costa del Sol.
It is not the buyer who pays the commission!
In Andalusia we follow the rule – THE BUYER DOES NOT PAY COMMISSION! We can confidently use the help of experienced intermediaries – not only will we not incur additional costs depending on the amount of the transaction. Thanks to such cooperation we are also sure that we have chosen the best offer in a good location.
Involvement of multiple agents
Why work with one Agency?
- We will take the extra time to listen and find out your preferences – are you looking for a beachfront flat, a villa overlooking the sea and the African coastline or perhaps an ‘oasis of calm’ in a less touristy location? We will find out how much importance you place on proximity to schools, restaurants and other essential amenities.
- We will find the best offers in the desired location within the indicated budget.
- During your stay, we will show a selection of houses and flats together, including those presented by other agencies (just send us a link and we will check the property in question and arrange a visit).
- We will carry out a ‘pros and cons’ analysis of the properties subject to the final decision/selection.
- We undertake property price negotiations on behalf of the client and also recommend banks, valuers, interpreters or lawyers.
- We assist with the signing of the contract in the primary and secondary markets.
- We orient ourselves on all costs, procedures and documentation, taxes, mortgages, etc.
- We prepare a sample analysis of the maintenance costs of the property.
- At the clients’ additional request, we will prepare a property condition report.
- We are fluent in Polish, English and Spanish.
Agnes Inversiones is valued for the highest standards associated with advising on the property acquisition process – we do not care about ‘tape’ selling houses in Spain. Our hallmark is to take an interest in the client’s needs and find them a ‘tailor-made’ home. For many years we have been dedicated to finding the best villas and flats for sale in Spain, and the best recommendation of our services is the large number of satisfied clients, today already living permanently in Marbella.
Not just the views!
Our job is sometimes to draw clients’ attention to issues that escape them when viewing a house or flat on the Costa del Sol. It is not just the view from the terrace that is important, but also its exposure. After all, we don’t want to buy a villa with a terrace where the sun never falls – that’s what we’re driving over to this Andalusian coast for!
We share knowledge with our clients. We know that:
- In winter, when humidity is high, heating is needed even in Spain.
- We spend most of our time at home on the Costa del Sol on the terrace – it needs to be sunny and with a good view.
- Some of you are buying a property for rent, and we know what kind of flats or villas tourists are looking for on holiday.
- It is worth investing the money well – we know what will always sell profitably.
Agents for special tasks
Cooperation with us does not usually end when you hand over the keys. You can rely on us in a great many situations:
- We help at every stage: from searching for offers to concluding the transaction. We not only deal with house sales, but also with assistance, carrying out renovations, furnishing, furnishing, and in the VIP package we also recommend a nanny or hire a gardener!
- We will advise on school, kindergarten, golf club, courts, attractions, restaurants, etc.
- We order technical inspections, collect parcels, order airport transport.
We have many satisfied clients in our portfolio, in love as we are with Marbella. Some of them are now our friends who live in our neighbourhood, walk their children to school with us or play golf together. We ourselves have lived in Andalusia for years and know how to help make dreams of living in Spain come true. Many new clients come to us through referrals, which we see as a great accolade and appreciation of our work. The reputation of Agnes Inversiones is also evidenced by the fact that we are the only Agency with Polish roots that is a member of LPA – Leading Property Agents of Spain.
If you are planning a move to the Costa del Sol, we warmly invite you to contact us to discuss possible areas of cooperation in finding the right house or flat in Andalusia.
