3. Q: How do you help clients find the right property?

Once we shortlist suitable options, we arrange viewings (in-person or virtual) and guide you through the selection process.

4. Q: Do you work with specific real estate agencies, or are you independent?
A: We are completely independent and work only in the interest of the buyer. Unlike traditional agencies, we do not represent sellers, so our sole focus is securing the best property for you at the best possible price.

5. Q: What types of properties do you help clients buy?
A: We assist in purchasing all types of residential properties, including apartments, penthouses, houses, and villas in Valencia and surrounding areas. We also support investors looking for rental properties or commercial real estate.

6. Q: Can you help negotiate the best price for my purchase?
A: Yes! One of our key strengths is negotiation. We leverage market data, property assessments, and our experience to secure the best possible deal for you, often negotiating significant price reductions or better contract terms.

7. Q: How does the legal process work when buying a property in Valencia?
A: The legal process includes obtaining a NIE (foreigner identification number), signing a reservation contract, conducting due diligence, and finalizing the purchase at a notary. We work closely with expert property lawyers to ensure every step is handled smoothly and transparently.

8. Q: What is a NIE, and do I need one to buy property in Spain?
A: Yes, all non-Spanish buyers must obtain a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) to purchase property in Spain. We assist you in obtaining this document to ensure the buying process runs smoothly.

9. Q: Do I need a Spanish bank account to buy property?
A: While not mandatory, a Spanish bank account simplifies the transaction process and payment of taxes. We can guide you through setting up an account with a reputable bank.

10. Q: How much are the additional costs when buying a property in Valencia?
A: Additional costs typically range between 12-16% of the purchase price and include property transfer tax (10% in Valencia), notary fees, registry fees, and legal costs. We provide a clear breakdown of all costs before you commit.

11. Q: Can non-residents get a mortgage in Spain?
A: Yes! Spanish banks offer mortgages for non-residents, typically covering up to 70% of the property’s value. We help you find the best financing options and guide you through the approval process.

12. Q: Can you help with property inspections before purchase?
A: Definitely. We recommend technical inspections to check for structural issues, legal compliance, and potential renovations needed. Our team arranges these inspections and ensures you receive a full property assessment before purchase.

13. Q: What happens after I find a property I want to buy?
A: Once you decide on a property, we handle all negotiations, coordinate legal due diligence, assist with contract reviews, and ensure a secure purchase. We stay with you until the keys are in your hand (and beyond, if needed!).
