Top 5 mistakes when buying a house in Spain.
Many buyers of a house in Spain make the mistake of doing the following in the purchasing process.
1. Make the first payment too fast.
Before you make a first payment to the seller, you must be sure that you have negotiated everything you would like. Once you have paid anything, it is more difficult to negotiate with the seller. The seller already has a portion of the purchase price and therefore your negotiating position is weak.
2. Not putting everything on paper.
Often, negotiations take place when considering buying a house, but are left as a verbal record; for example, an arrangement about painting to be done. This happens under the denominator, "we'll do that later". Or "that will be fine". It may sound fine, but could be ‘’forgotten’’, so put it on paper. That prevents arguments later.
3. Insufficient monitoring of the areas. The areas of the plot and the property are insufficiently registered. These must correspond to the areas listed in the property register. Deviations often occur and do not have to be a problem, but they must be corrected by the seller when transferring.

Many house buyers in Spain have a purchasing agent to help them buy. Here, some talk about their personal experiences with Houses in Spain.
"Recently, Rinus van Vliet of the estate agency Houses in Spain has provided us with the entire procurement process of our house in Spain.
From the outset, we had the fullest confidence in Rinus and he did it very well!
He combines thorough knowledge with a pragmatic approach. He knows the Spanish market, local regulations and legislation. The best way to do business in Spain is a combination of him with a Dutch, no nonsense approach.
His opinions are honest and good, but he also leaves room for his own vision and input. We have often wondered how we would have completed this complex and specialist route without Houses in Spain and Rinus. "
