Buying a property in a new building can be a challenge. Especially if you do not have a deep knowledge of the procedures that must be carried out in this type of real estate transaction; and, on the other hand, if you don’t really know the advantages of intermediation by real estate agencies.
The process of purchasing a home, be it new or second-hand, involves numerous steps, documents, legal and fiscal information, which must be followed rigorously and in accordance with the laws of each country. It is always good to be accompanied in this process by real estate experts. Here it is essential to choose an agency with experience, honesty and that offers you guarantees.
The presence of a real estate agent will give you the certainty that everything goes according to plan.
6 Advantages of buying a property in a new building in spain through an estate agency
1. The agency commission is never paid by the client (buyer)
For those who are familiar with real estate sales in Spain, this statement is obvious, in the case of a new construction, the developer-builder will be the one who pays the real estate agency its fees and not the buyer. Thus, the service provided by the agent to the client (buyer) is free
2. The vision of the agency is more objective
For every developer, his project is the best. It will not compare with other versions of the same range in the market. And if for any reason, there is a better offer in the property portfolio, the buyer will be informed by the agency.
3. The agency has extensive knowledge of the different real estate areas
In the case of new constructions, real estate agents can provide you with valuable information about the value of other constructions that have already been completed or are still underway.
They will be able to tell you the real value on the real estate market in Spain.
4. Agencies know the advantages and disadvantages of builders/developers
The agency will let you know if the developer is serious or not. It happens that some developers create a lot of difficulty when it comes to fixing certain defects that may occur during their tenure as builders of the property. In the case of Spain, this period is ten years. Agents know all developers. They will be able to tell you if a developer-builder really uses the best qualities and if the customers are satisfied even in the after-sales period.
5. Each client of the real estate agency is treated in a personalised way
Sometimes choosing the right home can be a quick process, other times it can take months. All the necessary questions are answered for each client, you are accompanied on every visit to the property… and so, step by step, with thoroughness and patience, you are accompanied until the ideal home becomes a reality.
6. Real estate agencies offer additional services
When you use an agency to buy a new construction property and not only (this also applies to second hand), you know that there will be a before, during and after. If you come from abroad and you need help to get to Spain, the agent will inform you about the options, help you with obtaining the NIE, opening a bank account, helping you with obtaining a bank loan, registering the property with the Land Registry, obtaining the transfer, tax documents after the sale. also if you want to rent the property, they also offer rental management services.
It is clear that in these times, when we have very little time to carry out complicated actions, choosing an authorised and specialised real estate agency, which will carry out the purchase process, without stress and as quickly as possible, is without a doubt, the best option!
