"From our very first contact with Andrea, it was clear she is passionate about her job and is driven by a determination to find the perfect property for her clients. We were so impressed by how much time she spent at the outset to fully understand exactly what we were looking for. She then worked tirelessly researching and viewing properties before cherry picking the ideal places for us to view. We live in the UK so we cannot imagine how we could have successfully undertaken the task of searching for and purchasing our Spanish property without her guidance and expertise. Andrea was also on hand to help with so many additional formalities, from opening a bank account and getting NIE numbers to even visiting the Town Hall with planning permission enquiries!

In addition to all of this, Andrea is clearly well-liked and respected by vendors and fellow agents, making her perfectly placed to be an expert negotiator who can get the best possible price for her clients.

We cannot recommend Andrea highly enough – thanks to her help we have been able to find our dream home in the sun!"

"My wife and I first met Andrea in 1999 when she was recommended to us by work colleagues. She helped us to buy our first property in Spain. I have to admit we were a bit wary after hearing so many horror stories, but Andrea guided us through the buying process in a friendly yet professional manner. When we had completed the purchase, she was always available for advice whenever we needed help. Andrea has since helped us in 2 further purchases, and as she is fluent in both Spanish and English she has been a Godsend to us. Anyone looking to purchase a property in Spain need look no further than choosing Andrea as your agent. Thanks Andrea."

Darryl& Margo Meyers – East London, UK

"We met Andrea in 2003 when we bought our property in Spain. We were not quite sure how it all worked but Andrea took us through everything. Things move quickly in Spain once you have agreed to buy and so Andrea got us started by dealing with the authorities and completing everything necessary for buying. Once we owned the property we needed help registering for Electricity, organising council rates payments, etc. Andrea was excellent with her knowledge of the property business, dealing with the authorities & lawyers, etc, she isfluent Spanish and English and is always ready to help. Made us feel very safe and would recommend anyone who wants to buy in Spain to contact Andrea!"

Define your brief

Before you begin your property search I advise you to clearly establish the sort of property you are looking to buy, the area and price range. Make a list with your partner/family of what you want. Take your time to reflect. Do individual searches and then compare notes. This process will reduce stress and will help to define your brief although it often alters during the search but you will have a clearer idea of what you want.

Meet your agent

We arrange an initial appointment to discuss your brief. After which I will send a sample of properties to see if I understand your concepts. Once I’ve received your feedback I can then continue with a more extensive property search. We discuss further the pros and cons of the properties and location. Once you have a short list then we can organise a viewing trip. Clients make their own travel and accommodation arrangements and I offer them advice should they require. I arrange and accompany my clients to all of the property viewings.

Property Purchase

When we have found your ideal property we can proceed with the purchase. With a resale property

there is the possibility to place an offer unlike a new development or ‘off plan’ purchase.

Once a price has been agreed then a standard reservation contract will be signed specifying the property datails, price and a holding deposit will be paid.

The reservation contract will take the property off the market for 15-30 days whilst your lawyer carries out the preliminary searches on the property.

If the searches are satisfactory and everything is in place it would be possible to proceed straight to completion and the signing of the sale contract within 4-6 weeks this will vary if a mortgage is required.
