SPANISH PROPERTY - A BUYERS MARKET


The mortgage rate in Spain is at an all time low. There are a swathe of properties for sale at reduced prices right across Spain. Many non Spanish homeowners are desperate to sell and return to their native country. These are the facts of life in Spain circa 2009. You are not supposed to say it out loud, but the fact remains that in Spain right now it is a buyers market. Anyone with cash or who can prove to the banks that they can easily afford a mortgage, is in the driving seat of the property market in Spain.
That applies right across Spain. I write to you from Andalucia where there are bargains galore. But that applies in every corner of Spain.
Since the turn of this century my work has led me to meet and work with numerous estate agents working across Spain. I have contacts that would take you ages to find on the internet and just as long to establish a working relationship with. I know which ones you can trust and which ones you cannot. As in the rest of life, i try only to deal with straight, honest people. That was how how i found my own lovely home. By finding an agent one could trust. As recent 'shock horror' style TV programmes in the UK have proved; others have not been so fortunate.
I do not claim to be an agent or even an official property finder. However, my work as a writer, travel journalist and photographer has seen me travel all over Spain and has meant that i have acquired the details and photos of many properties for sale. Best of all I have established good contact with agents you can do business with - and sleep comfortably in your bed thereafter. I will only pass on contact if i know personally an agent in the area of Spain you wish to buy. If i do not know such people, i will tell you.
So save time and money. Contact me now with the region, area, city, town or village in which you wish to buy a property in Spain - and we shall see if i can help you bag a bargain in Spain. verninspain@gmail.com
