Do You Need To Sell Your UK Home To Enable Your Relocation To Spain?

2007-04-11T15:43:00.000Z

If you need to sell your UK home to finance your move to Spain but are having difficulty finding a buyer, we could have the answer.

Moving home within the same country can be stressful enough, what with managing timescales and finances as well as jobs and schools. The problem only increases when two different countries are involved requiring two solicitors and traveling back and forth to oversee the whole thing.

Once you have found your dream home in the sun and have your new life organised with a job and schools for your children the last piece of the puzzle is normally the sale of your UK property. With the slow down of the UK property market this can hold everything up and even cause you to loose your new Spanish property.

The sale of your UK home need no longer hold you back. You can reserve you new property in Spain with complete peace of mind, whilst continuing to live in your present home without any disruption until you are ready to move into your new Spanish home.

In Simple terms, you can sell your UK property to a 3rd party company who will agree a competitive purchase price and also delay completion to suit your timescale.

Take Control of Your Inbox

2006-08-05T16:16:00.000Z

Today I would like to talk to you about something that is nothing to do with Spain.
As you are using the Internet and probably using email you could have the same problem as I had. SPAM, unsolicited emails, junk mail whatever you like to call it.
I was wasting up to 30 minutes a day checking my emails and deleting the unwanted rubbish. I tried a few spam filters but these would still let through some of the junk and sometimes block emails I wanted.
I have now found a new program which only lets through emails from real people. To find out more about how this program works take a look at Spam Arrest and stop receiving unwanted emails.

Murcia - The Next Big Thing

2006-05-20T13:13:00.000Z

If you have ever watched Real Estate TV you may have seen a program called the next big thing. They have recently been running a show about Murcia in Spain so we thought we had better go and investigate.

Murcia has the coast line of Costa Calida and the calm waters of the Mar Menor, it is still quite under developed but is within easy reach via San Javiar airport. There are 7 new golf course developments being built over the next few years and with property prices lower than most other costas prices are set to rise.

After our trip to Spain earlier this month, we now have properties available on a number of developments in the Balsicas area of Murcia, a small selection can be seen here.

Resales Vs New Build.

2006-04-19T18:08:00.000Z

Resale properties in Spain are still being sold in greater numbers than new build (off plan) properties but only just. There are a number of pros and cons to buying both resale properties and new builds. Resale properties tend to be slightly more expensive, may be up to 10% more than an off plan equivalent, but the price will normally include many extras such as furniture, white goods, light fittings, air conditioning etc.

If you are looking to move in quickly then with a resale you could be in within a matter of weeks. New builds you may have to wait between 3 and 18 months. With an off plan property, if you buy early enough you could change some of the features of the property, lay out, kitchen units etc.

To get a wide choice of both new and resale properties you need to visit a "proper" real estate agent who deals with the local builders as well as acts as an estate agent for resales. You will find that if you visit Spain with some of the larger companies that fly dozens of people over every week you will be shown only new build properties as they tend not to have any resales on their books.

So before you book your viewing trip to Spain make sure the company you are going with can offer you a wide choice of both new and resale properties.

Spanish Costa Properties has a number of partners in Spain who are all "proper" estate agents which enables us to give you the widest possible choice of both new and resale properties.

Foreign Exchange Made Simple

2006-03-15T17:50:00.000Z

Most people buying a holiday home abroad would prefer to do so without dealing with the complicated world of foreign exchange. However, the sale price is nearly always agreed in a foreign currency with the exchange rate fluctuating constantly. Unfortunately nobody can predict these fluctuations making it impossible for you to account for the cost of your property in your base currency and maybe even pushing your overseas purchase out of reach!!

Rent to Buy

2005-10-26T12:37:00.000Z

A number of our clients have said to me that they really want to buy a retirement property in Spain but are having problems selling their homes in the UK so they are unable to move.
Following on from my last post, a slow market is a great time to buy as some good deals are available - but what do you do if you can't sell your property in the UK?
I have said to clients that are looking to move to Spain, why not rent out your UK property and use the rental income to pay for a mortgage in Spain. The rental demand is always good in a slow market and when prices start to rise again it will be easier to sell and probably you will get a higher price for home in the UK. You can get a good deal on a property in Spain and Spanish mortgages are available for 3% interest or less.
Rent to Buy is a great option in a slow market, it can help you move when you think you are stuck and can even make you some extra cash.

Property Bargains Available Now

2005-10-12T15:25:00.000Z

The property prices in Spain and the UK was reported rising at the slowest rate for a number of years. The average UK property price increased by just £1 between July and August to £186,208. First time buyers in the UK are continuing to wait and the average price paid by UK first time buyers was £153,285 in August up just 0.1% on July.

With a cut in interest rates planned for early next year the market is likely to take an up turn early next year. Once first time buyers start to buy again in the UK prices will start to rise again and the Spanish Market will follow.

Between now and the end of the year will be a great time to buy. Because things have been slow this year there are plenty of people who have had their properties on the market for nearly a year. Some of these people will be desperate to sell and be willing to take a below market price offer.

So, find yourself a desperate seller, make a cut down offer and pick yourself up bargain.

Buy to Let - Spain or UK?

2005-09-22T13:06:00.000Z

Buy to let in the UK is a great way to invest in property in UK and Spain but which is going to give you the best (ROI) return on your investment?

In the UK there are hundreds of different buy-to-let mortgages but probably the cheapest is an interest only mortgage which normally requires a 15% deposit. Interest would be around 5.5% but you may be able to shop around for better deals and get a reduced rate for the first one or two years.

In Spain the choice of mortgages is not so great but the interest rates are lower.

'Spain not in a property bubble'

2005-08-15T15:13:00.000Z

Spanish developers exhibiting at The Property Investor Show in London (23-25 September, ExCeL London) hotly dispute recent reports that high levels of house price growth in Spain mean that the property market is set to follow the downward trend as seen in the UK market over the past year.
However, with an expanding economy, high employment and excellent infrastructure the market is still very strong, suggesting that high yields are achievable and investors shouldn’t dismiss the traditional Costas in favour of the less established emerging markets of Eastern Europe.

New Blog

2005-08-10T13:34:00.000Z

Hi,

I haven't been sending out my Spanish Costa Properties newsletter for a few months now. This is due to technical problems with the software I use for sending them out and also partly because I have been too busy/lazy to send anything out. My appologies to all my subscribers.

Anyway, I thought I'd give this blog thing a go. So instead of sending out a monthly newsletter I will just send out a quick email to all my subscribers whenever I add something new to this blog.

Watch this space for up to date information on the Spanish property market.
