We have just produced the final episode of the first series of the Valencia Property podcast (You can listen to all the episodes here). We are not finishing with the Podcast we are just going to a new schedule as it has been majorly successful for us as a marketing tool and we love doing it as it gives us more of a connection with our clients. It's amazing how many people listen to podcasts these days. So today we are going to look back at what we have done so far on the podcast, tell you where to find those episodes, look at what the podcast has done for us as a company and look at the state of the property market through the lens of the properties we have sold this year, in terms of prices, availability, nationalities buying and a whole lot more.

This isn't going to be an epic long post like some of our recent ones but it is quite important as it explains a concept that we have mentioned in passing before but as it is now becoming more the norm you should know more about it. We are talking here about the concept of the reserve payment to take something off the market while the owner considers an offer. Traditionally the process of buying a Spanish property, which you can read more about at the link, was simple, make an offer, wait until it is accepted or negotiated and then put a deposit down in the Arras contract. Things have changed because of the market which is blowing really hot.

Here at Valencia Property we generally sell properties that you can see, feel and touch, ones that already exist and we can photograph, measure, takes videos of and generally take the mickey out of in our descriptions. We choose to list only properties that we feel give good value for money even if they may need a little bit of tender loving care (Narrator's Voice: "He said charitably"). There are a multitude of reasons for this including the obvious one of the fact that the legality of the property is already established but there are many other reasons we tend to avoid listing off-plan properties unless we know the developer and the architect very, very well and know the plots where the property is due to be built. In today's article therefore we are going to expand on a theme in our latest podcast about why you should almost never buy an off plan Villa in Spain, or maybe just in Valencia. It may be different in other areas of Spain but if you are looking at the coastal strip it's almost never a good idea.

Today's post looks at whether you are getting value for money when buying a property in Valencia. To decide this we must look at what we mean by the term value for money because it means different things to different people. What is the measure we are going to use? To determine this we are going to use four metrics. 1) Reference Values 2) Comparative Methods 3) Space and M2 Price 4) National and International Comparisons

Finally, we have arrived in Spring in Valencia and the sun is out and the temperatures have risen. It's unusually late this year but we are now looking forward to a long warm spring and summer. Here at Valencia Property we are really busy as always and we start the week tomorrow (Because today, Monday, is yet another holiday in the city) with a day at the notary and afternoon visits to properties.

Here at Valencia Property we look for good value properties for our clients. Of course this doesn't mean cheap properties, we often work with clients looking to get their Spanish Golden Visa through buying property in Valencia so we often see property right at the top of the range in the best areas of Valencia. However, there are also properties that we just don't have clients for usually so we don't list them (Maybe if we did we would get clients for them, chicken and egg and all that) Most of these properties are those at the top, top end of the market and the reason we don't list them usually is that we can find better in better locations or for better prices. As an example we would never advise anyone to spend 6 million Euros on a property in Monasterios but properties there cost up to that amount and sometimes more.
