Ø      There are scores of different estate agents in the Axarquia area alone – not all readily accessible.

Ø      Houses are often on offer at different prices with different agents.

Ø      Visits to properties are virtually always accompanied by sales people.  They do not give out addresses to you.

Ø      Occasionally prospective clients are goaded into visiting unsuitable properties for questionable reasons. 

Ø      Agents will generally supply you with very little information with lead-in property particulars.

Ø      If someone offers you something for nothing, then think twice or thrice.

Ø      An average property in the area will cost someway short of £100,000.  Estate agent commissions run  at about 5%, which is supposedly paid by the vendor, but is often effectively paid for by the buyer, as this is usually included in the property price. 

Ø      Although house prices in Spain are generally quite a bit cheaper than in the UK, remember to allow approximately 10% on top for transfer taxes, lawyer costs and various other charges.

Ø      Most buyers do not always know the important questions to ask on visits.

Ø      Most estate agents are closed on Saturday afternoons and Sundays.

Ø      If you compare our prices with those involved in securing your property, we believe they are very reasonable, and should, in most instances, be covered by savings en route.

Ø      A final note – we feel that we can be of particular assistance to families with young children moving to the area – due to our own experience.
