Enjoying a Spanish Mortgage
Do you enjoy living in Spain? Well for that you’ll need a property and probably a Spanish Mortgage. So, are you confused about whether now is the right time to buy? The problem with real estate is there is never a good time to buy but always a bad time to buy if you listen to the so called experts. So I hope this overview will help you to make up your mind as to whether now is a good time to buy or not.
Why Spain? and why get Mortgages in Spain? The answer to this question is easy …an adrenaline filled wind surfing holiday on the Atlantic coast, energetic cycling amongst the white villages in spring time, breathtaking walks in the Spanish Pyrenees, partying in colourful and noisy Ferias, dancing in Ibiza discos to the early hours, sunny golf days in February in Marbella, shopping in Puerto Banus or simply reading a book in the sunshine in a quiet Spanish garden. Spain offers a diverse number of experiences and that is why its unique position in the tourist sector provides constant pleasure to its visitors and its reputation as Europes number 1 destination only improves. This year saw a 4% growth in tourist numbers in the first quarter passing through Malaga Airport, and 2010 saw a similar 3.5% growth even during a severe recession.
This growth has allowed the Spanish infrastructures and facilities to be among the best in the World. Marbella leads the World as the municipality with the highest number and density of private sports facilities per head of population, out performing destinations such as Dubai and is also the town with the highest numbers of passes at International Baccalaureate for students at International Schools regulated by the UK Council.
The Spanish coastline has become the California of Europe, it isn’t a desert island. The British have become one of the largest groups to search out new areas, as well as enjoying the old favourites of the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca.
Also there are deserted and natural coastlines such as the Costa de la Luz. This new area has grown faster than any other coastline, with British visitors discovering a Spanish Garden Route with miles of unspoiled beaches, attractive West Country styled estuaries, less crowded golf courses and fantastic value at local restaurants.
The buyer has a wide choice of ways to go about the process of finding a property. Choose from an agency based in their own country which often start with internet searching and visiting property exhibitions, or contacting sellers through the many direct selling portals or using a high street real estate office in Spain.
Spain is obliged to sell property under EU regulations and all buyers do enjoy protection, but it’s a good idea always to use specialist lawyers. One advantage of Spain is the choice of lawyers speaking fluent English with great experience of the needs of British clients and this will cost around 1% of the property purchase.
Finding your ideal property takes time. Checking if an agent has access to lots of properties means you can be certain you will have a comprehensive property finders service from the agent chosen and you will not have to run around ‘office to office’ wasting valuable time. Making the correct property decision is fundamentally the same throughout the World. Good property is well located with working infrastructures and clear licensing documents.
Following these points should help you acquire a property where you can relax and enjoy what Spain offers, but don’t forget to choose the right Spanish Mortgages. Financing your purchase could be an important requirement. There are some excellent offers available where approved clients can get 85% of the purchase price. These are normally new projects where the developer and the bank have collaborated to make an attractive sale on the last units. Likewise the Banks real estate departments selling repossessed property offer high loan to value deals. So, in short.. choose the right mortgage and good luck finding your dream home.
