Tenerife property and best estate agents in Tenerife

Tenerife properties in Spain

Buying ones own property in Tenerife, Spain is a very mouth-watering prospect for so many Europeans from the more Northerly climes and in particular for those from the United Kingdom. The majority of Tenerife property buyers start off with a visit to the nearest Tenerife estate agents to buy an apartment for their own holiday use with perhaps a small amount of rental income from friends and relations to help offset the expenses and overheads. The wonderful climate is probably the biggest reason for buying Tenerife properties and even if that first small Spanish apartment in Tenerife is bought for holiday use, many of the owners harbour a secret ambition to live permanently in this idyllic island and for this reason often take a look in the windows of estate agents in Tenerife.

For those individuals with a liking for smoking, drinking and eating out, Tenerife seems like heaven on earth; with drink costing about a third of UK prices and cigarettes about a fifth no wonder the British Customs and Excise authorities keep a close on returning visitors. Tenerife property owners soon get accustomed to eating out at restaurants as this is accepted as the ‘norm’ in Spain and to be able to eat a good but simple meal with ample wine and usually a free liqueur to finish, often for less than 15 Euros (ten pounds) a head is not at all exceptional.

Tenerife estate agents in Spain

Having decided to look into the prospect of buying property in Tenerife, usually by studying properties for sale in Tenerife estate agents windows one has to try to decide what to buy (usually governed by price) and also where. Many first time buyers of Tenerife property end up with an apartment near to where they stayed on holiday simply because that’s where they were. Estate agents in Tenerife are, as in all countries that I know of, paid on commission when they sell properties so of course anyone walking into their premises to look at property Tenerife is a potential source of income. This is not meant as a derogatory comment but as a simple piece of advice, many clients looking to purchase Tenerife property do not think things through sufficiently. Most good Tenerife estate agents bemoan the fact that clients do not give a true representation of their requirements; a little consideration about ones intended use of the property and ones requirements can save both the estate agents and oneself a great deal of time and trouble. There are some excellent estate agents in Tenerife who take the trouble to sit down with the clients for an hour or more just finding out exactly what is required by the clients when looking for Tenerife property. This means that the estate agents can then sift through all the relevant Tenerife properties on offer and only make appointments to view at those properties that fit the client’s requirements, thus saving clients, estate agents and property owners a lot of time and trouble.

Spanish formalities and paperwork.

Buying Tenerife property is a very different process to buying property in the United Kingdom (will those people from outside the United Kingdom reading this please forgive me). Not only is one buying property in a foreign country but of course all the transactions and relevant paperwork is in a foreign language (we are all familiar with the British aversion to learning foreign languages!) added to this is the fact that many things are done in a completely different manner. For example when buying an apartment in Tenerife one doesn’t just buy the apartment but also a share of the pathways, swimming pools, lifts and all other facilities which are part of the complex. The costs and expenses of these items is calculated on a percentage basis (depending on the size of ones property) and apportioned accordingly. There is a whole range of legal requirements for potential buyers of property in Tenerife, all quite logical and straightforward once understood and these can be found in detail by following this link.

Spanish property - Property in Spain.

Buying Spanish property for holiday use or a retirement home has become such an everyday occurrence that it’s no longer a huge event. Property in Spain comes in an incredible variety of styles, sizes and prices. Spanish properties aimed at the holiday sector of the market are completely different to properties in Spain built for the Spanish. Many estate agents in Spain especially English estate agents in Spain target their Spanish property marketing solely at the British market. Spanish estate agents however, especially in the Spanish ‘costas’ have learnt to target both the Spanish and the foreign markets. Spain and its provinces can offer such a huge range of Spanish property that it’s difficult to know where to start looking for ones first property in Spain. My advice to first timer buyers is to sit down and decide exactly what is required from the property and then research the areas that could fit those needs and then visit web sites such as this to find a choice of estate agents in Spain offering a wide range of Spanish property.
