A really difficult client arrived last week in Valencia to look at property. Now I don’t want you to get the impression I am complaining here because I mean difficult in a good way. How I hear you ask? Well, the client was ultra prepared for their visit and so therefore knew a lot more than the average client about Valencia and the process of buying properties. This created a small problem, the lack of small talk in the car :-).

If Not France Why Not Spain?
I really hate writing articles when an open goal is presented and it is like shooting fish in a barrel but the French government has just presented Spain with a historic opportunity.
What’s happened?
Well the Spanish government has started to try and encourage foreign investment by two measures:
Firstly, as a foreigner, if you buy a property this year then they have cut any potential capital gains tax in half. Secondly, and this one is under consideration at the moment, if you buy a property for more than 250,000 euros then you may well be granted automatic residency (a nod to the far East buyers and eastern Europe perhaps) Couple this with the prices having fallen by around 40% from peak and there is a great opportunity to pick up some excellent bargain property in Spain.
Why Spanish Property Sellers Need To Be Careful Of What They Believe
I make no bones about it, there is life in the Spanish property market, much more life than most people suspect in fact. There is no doubt that badly priced, badly located and badly presented properties will not sell but the right property at the right price in the right place will always sell. As Meat Loaf once said “Two out of three ain’t bad” either.
However after a few conversations in the last few days I have to conclude that some people think that one swallow makes a summer and that an individual event predicts a trend even when the truth lies somewhere remote from the actual words spoken.
Let me explain…

Property For Sale in Iznajar, Córdoba
Now you are able to find out more about property all around Spain through our new sites and agreements in place I thought it was time to actually point out some amazing bargains in other parts of Spain apart from Valencia. Today we are concentrating on Iznajar in the Cordoba area of Andalucia.
If you are looking for the Real Spain then you could do a lot worse than the quiet inland town of Iznajar. Set around the beautiful Lake Iznajar property in the area has been compared to that in the Alpujrras made famous by the writing of Gerald Brennan. Quiet and yet just an hour away from the Costa del Sol, Iznajar has many attractions for you as a visitor or resident and that is the point of the main property for sale we have here
Property Price Negotiation and the Spanish Psyche
When you are negotiating the price and other aspects of a Spanish property purchase you need to understand the seller psychologically. If we are to assume that the seller is Spanish, as the majority of sellers are away from the Costas, then it is necessary to understand how their mind works.
In order to do this we need to realize what the Spanish mind thinks, obviously this is a broad generalization but by generalizing you can get an idea of what you need to understand in order to be successful in any property purchase.
Buying Property in Spain – A Real Case Study
I have just been reading an extraordinary story. The only strange thing for me though is it puts figures to something that I already knew, ie in the vast majority of cases you should not buy property from banks.
Here is the question.
Two similar flats in the same block, same size and everything. One is available for sale for 110k and the other for 160k. One has just sold. Which one and why?
To Buy A House in Spain or a View in Spain? That is the Question
Is it possible to buy a view rather than a house. Today I was at a house in Calicanto that we have for sale and the house is absolutely fantastic in one sense but I suspect anyone who buys it will be buying the view. The house itself needs work but if you are ever washing the dishes in the kitchen you will have the most fantastic view.

90% Finance And Pay Nothing For 3 Years
Does that sound like a deal that may interest you? I have access to all of the properties available from one of the banks here in Valencia and that is the deal. The prices are set and the bank will finance up to 90% both to residents and non residents as long as the client appears to be a good one. You have to find 10% deposit and the costs only. Then you do not pay any mortgage at all for three years. Does it seem to good to be true?
