Smart Property Purchasers Putting Faith in Spain's Quality Developers - Off-Plan Sales Rise

BARCELONA, Spain - Sept. 1, 2016 - PRLog -- For many the prospect of waiting for their new home to be transformed from run-down cattle barn to the house of their dreams is their worst nightmare and they are realising in great numbers that for them, there is another way.

Official figures at the beginning of August say the construction industry in Spain is booming with an increase of 12 per cent in new build homes sold in May compared to May 2015 and more and more customers are turning to the quality housebuilders of Spain to fulfil their dreams.

Stefan Noben, UK Market Manager at TM Real Estate Group commented: "We predict that the sales of new homes will continue to rise this year and the idea of buying off-plan is set to rise in popularity. Indeed many of our customers start off thinking that they would like to buy what looks like a 'cheap' older property and renovate it themselves but very quickly realise that the amenities and high-end interiors that come with buying a quality new-build are just too tempting."

So what are the advantages of buying a new property when buying overseas?

o   Peace Of Mind – buying a property – at home or away – is not always straightforward but buying off plan makes this important life-event just about as simple as possible. Without the stress of a chain, at least at one end and possibly at all if you have no property to sell, both time and money can be saved.

o   Budgeting – deciding to buy a property off-plan gives you time to get properly organised. It gives you more time to save and also a chance to work out a detailed budget and plan for the future. With some developments it is normal for payment to be made in stages which may make saving even easier.

o   Price – in Spain it is normal for purchasers to pay the price of the property when the agreement is made to purchase the property rather than the price when it is completed. As houses prices are expected to rise in price, this could save you money. However you must also take into account that if anything happens to adversely affect the price, this could work against you.

o   Choice – if you buy off plan, the earlier you buy in the life of a development, the more choice you will have about interior layout, the situation of your property on the overall site and even the fixtures and fittings.

o   Personalisation – you might not be doing the decorating yourselves, but you can still be involved in how your home looks. Many of the best developers allow customers to choose interior design accents such as the floor and wall tiles, doors, windows, kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures bedroom units and many other items.

o   Settling in – buying off plan gives you plenty of time to get to know a new area you can find out the best places to go and thoroughly research your new neighbourhood so you can make the most of all it has to offer from day one.
