Searching for your Ideal Home

Purchasing a property abroad can be a daunting experience. Villa Lingo endeavors to support you throughout the searching and purchasing process. Your comments are valuable tools that enable us to match your needs to available properties. Villa Lingo listens to YOU, communication is the foundation of our business.

Once you have made the decision to purchase your home in Spain , allow us to have your travel details and we can plan a series of visits to the properties of your choice. You may want to take some time to discuss what it is like to live here and how to deal with important issues such as schooling, medical services, business and job opportunities. Whether you are resident and looking for a larger or smaller property to suit your current needs or you are looking for a second or retirement home, the service you receive will be helpful, honest and courteous.

The Buying Process

A straight forward process to achieving completion on your property.

On all Spanish property purchases you will need to allow approximately 10% of the purchase price to cover your buying costs. (If no mortgage is required, this should be approximately 8%). This amount from your total budget has to cover the following expenses:

• 7% transfer tax on value of the Title Deeds
• Lawyers´ fees which include the transfer of services into your name, i.e. water, electricity and rates etc.
• Notary fees-the Notary is an independent legal professional whose responsibility is to ensure the Title Deeds are passed over to the purchaser free of any encumbrances

Finance

If you require a mortgage to help secure your new home, Villa Lingo will be more than happy to assist you , giving you the benefit of our experience of Spanish banking, brokers and currency exchange. Through our extensive contacts in the banking community, we are able to find you the best mortgage rates and fulfill your personal needs.

Legal Representation

We would always advise that the purchasers should seek professional legal assistance, preferably from a local based Spanish solicitor (most now speak fluent English). Villa Lingo can suggest a number of legal firms who regularly work with our clients.

After Sales

Our commitment to all our clients does not stop after signing at the Notary. Following the purchase, you may be considering developing your property to some extent. We can advise on local constructors and tradesmen of good repute.

In addition, if you are not intending to move here permanently or if you require assistance with maintenance of your property, e.g. pool and garden, we have a professional team to help and advise you.

We want you to enjoy your property in Spain. Remember Villa Lingo speaks your language!
