Your Ultimate Spanish Property Checklist

LONDON - Sept. 1, 2016 - PRLog -- Thinking of buying a Spanish property? Spain is back on Ernst & Young's top ten list of countries for real estate investment and seeing record tourist arrivals, too.  With this trusty checklist you can shop for the best properties and purchase your dream house in Spain like a seasoned pro.

This expert insight protects you from the blunders that many of the 600,000 British buyers made in the last decade. This is the best buyers' market you may ever see, but prices are rising, making this an excellent time to book your property shopping trip in sensational, sunny Spain.

The Five Foundations of Spanish Property:

•Hire the very best conveyancing lawyer

•Have agreements written and translated

•Be certain land has infrastructure permission

•Don't sign anything without your lawyer present

•Don't trust your estate agent

2 Key Tips to Know

Spanish property is either built on Urbanizo land, is Fully Urbanizo with all infrastructure permission or is Rural (agricultural) land. And do remember that your estate agent is getting up to 18% commission, so you can't trust them for advice or inspections.

Ideal properties tick these boxes:

•Within two minutes of a village

•Less than 15 minutes from a major town

•Under an hour from an international airport

•Not more than a 20-minute drive from the sea

Your best value property for re-sale and rental potential is close to a community, services and amenities.

Marbella: Spain's Gold Standard Properties

Malaga's Golden Mile and nearby areas steadily attract luxury buyers, proving resilient even during the six years of economic downturn. Home to the best golf courses and prime beachside luxury developments, you can expect a good return on investment in this prime region.

Check out similar property at better prices in:

•Sotogrande (cooler in winter than Marbella, it doesn't enjoy the same micro-climate)

•Estepona

•The Costa Tropical between La Herradura and Salobreña.

Buy your holiday home as if it were a permanent one that will one day be sold at a profit.

Ask yourself three questions:

•Will someone else want to live here in ten years?

•If I have to sell quickly, can I make a profit based on the price?

•Will it be in demand if market conditions change?
