En Dream Sun Spain We are clear that buying a home is a very important step in the life of a person or a family, so we offer you our best advice in the following blog.
When buying a property it is important to remain calm and not get carried away by the emotion of the moment. Many times the mistake is made of becoming infatuated with a beautiful house, but not very functional for the buyer, that is why, from Dream Sun Spain We want to advise you that before viewing any property, make a list of the wishes and needs of the whole family.
Next, it would be convenient to calculate the budget you have for the purchase of the home and/or inform you of the money that the bank can lend you. From here, a monetary range is established that serves as a filter when choosing the homes that you want to visit.
Third, start the search. Having clear the characteristics that your ideal home should have and with an established budget, it is time to search by all means, that is:
Through real estate, something that abounds in our country but that does not always adapt to the tastes and needs of the client. In Dream Sun Spain We advise you to choose a real estate agent or real estate agent who gives you confidence and is willing to want to help you. A good real estate agent will carry out a study taking into account the client's budget and preferences, will mediate between buyer and seller, ensuring that the price of the property is fair for both parties. He will also be in charge of informing himself of the existence (or not) of debts to which the house that is intended to be acquired is linked, or any other legal problem, and finally, he will prepare all the necessary paperwork for the signature with the notary.
Although it is true that you will have to pay a fee, but you will save yourself headaches, last minute surprises and time.
Through Internet, Today there are many real estate portals where you can find houses from all over. These portals allow you to search by specific areas, something that can be very useful if as a buyer you are interested in a specific site. In Dream Sun Spain We recommend using the main real estate portals, which in the case of Spain are: Idealistic, photohouse, Room, Pisos.com y I found it.
In these portals you can find your ideal home with the help of filters (budget, area, number of rooms, pool, garage, etc.).
Through word of mouth, Many times, when we talk to friends or acquaintances, we get pleasant surprises. If the people around you are aware that you are looking for a home and they find or know someone who is selling a property, they can put you in touch.
In the same way, you can find out about homes for sale by walking through the areas that fit your requirements and see if there is a “for Sale".
In the fourth step, we recommend you do a "planning" with the houses you have decided to visit, contact the real estate agencies to arrange the visits or with the owners. Be careful about visiting many properties on the same day, it could be counterproductive.
You see discarding those that you have already seen and do not convince you, and then, you can make a second visit for the others.
The fifth step would be to make a pre-selection of the houses that you liked the most (in case there are several) and make a list of the pros and cons of each of them, taking into account such important things as: size of the rooms , physical condition of the home, existence and condition of the heating or air conditioning, plumbing and electrical installation, orientation of the home, existence or not of a garage, swimming pool and other extras, the age of the home, situation of the community, noise in the area etc
Once you have decided on one of these properties, it is time to move on to the sixth step, the negotiation. Send an offer to the homeowner or real estate agent, make sure it's lower than your maximum limit. If accepted, a sales contract must be drawn up as soon as possible with the proposed final price.
If they reject your offer, they may make a counter offer. Wait a few days to reflect and give your answer.
Finally, you must choose the payment method that suits you best. Evaluate if you need any financing and if so, choose your ideal mortgage to be able to live well for the rest of your life, with low interest rates and comfortable terms.
