Sales Guide

Living in Spain - Spain's change from dictatorship and it's entry into the EEC has brought about many changes in the shape of renewed prosperity, continued long term growth and stability. On average, Spain enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year and is blessed with one of the best climates in the world, with no real extremes.

Freedom of movement within the EEC has produced many opportunities for people to now live and trade in a lovely part of the world. The cost of living is low as is the taxation on beer and wine and the other little things we enjoy in life. Fresh fish and fruit is in abundance, which makes for a healthier diet.

Your Visit - Before your trip, please try to give our UK rep as much information as possible about your purchase requirements (ie. budget, type of property, location, holiday or permanent home), the more we know the better we can plan your trip to suit your needs on arrival. We collect you from the airport and take you to your accommodation, which will have been pre-arranged for you.

We make a nominal charge for this but the cost is refunded if you purchase. You will then be shown the area and properties that meet with your requirements at a leisurely pace over the next few days. Once we have found the property you are looking for, we can start the purchase arrangements.

With Elite Property Sales you will not be put under pressure at any time and we trust we can make you buying in Spain experience as pleasant as possible. (Please note large parties by prior arrangement only).

Resale Property

We will guide you through the legal work to complete your purchase. Once you have chosen a property we will agree terms with the vendor and prepare you a contract. 3000 euros is the standard deposit required. We will then introduce you to a solicitor who we recommend, however you are free to engage another solicitor if you wish.

You will then need to open a Spanish bank account and apply for your NIE number. If you require a mortgage in Spain (normally up to 80% of the asking price) we will arrange the application for you. You will at all times be accompanied by one of our staff who will guide you through the process.

New Property

The procedure is very similar to a resale purchase. We will agree terms with you and the builder and a legal contract will be prepared. Payment terms vary depending on the builders requirements. We will do our best to agree an arrangement that suits you both.

We do not just sell property, now you have your keys we are here to help. We can assist you with purchase of furniture and anything else you may require for your home. Here, at Elite, we run a property check service and can be your eyes and ears when you are away from your home. We can tailor a package to suit your needs. We can also deal with your rental customers.
