Honesty and Truth
Why would you expect less?
We´ve all heard the horror stories of property purchases in Spain that went wrong. I am proud to say that I can meet each and every person who purchased a property with my intervention without any remorse or ill-feeling being shown by them.
How many salespersons can say that?
Quality Control
Why it pays.
You save time, money and effort when things are carried out properly. That´s why having professionalism work for you always pays off.
Our SURVEY reports are amongst the best value, with comprehensive extras that can´t be beaten. Like layout plans, measurements and life-style comments.
Energy Performance
Certificates
A new law to conserve energy usage, brought into Spain in line with the Kyoto agreement, and applicable as from 1st June 2013, will require some properties to have an Energy Performance Certificate. Note that, if your property is used for less than 4 months a year, then this requirement would appear (at the moment, clarification being sought) not to apply.
Mortgage Rates
The future?
The Bank of England announced the further reduction of the lowest rates ever in its history, at 0.5%, to 0.25 % now 7 years (August 2016).
Be warned: an Interest rate rise is very likely in 2017.
The European Central bank lowered rates to 0.15% on 4th June 2014, an Historic Low.
Sales Slightly Up, More Interest
Although there appears to be more interest (based on the historically low points in the last 3 years), we are hoping that the house price bubble in UK (mainly in the London and South-East areas) does not cause problems in the future.
Far too many apartments have been built during the previous Spanish housing bubble, exceeding demand by 100%.
Fingers crossed!!
Wealth Tax REINSTATED.
Marbella and Estepona are going through torrid times, with National Police investigations into corruption and influence already into the third year in Marbella, and having started in Estepona. There is also news of Town Halls in the Axarquia region being investigated, and mayors arrested (Alcaucin). The mayor of RONDA has recently also been arrested.
On balance, buy what you can see and feel.
