IRS Spanish Property Search and Acquisition Services Include
The
Brief
IRS Directors
go into considerable depth in taking a clients'
brief to ensure that all aspects are considered
from the beginning, offering advice, but above
all listening to clients' requirements
and building up a personal profile of the
property buyer in order to search the
areas and subsequent properties for sale within
these areas. Briefs can be done over the phone,
but more often done face to face in the comfort
of your own home.
TOP
Area
Orientation and Visit
After a period of correspondence where areas and
property types are discussed, whether you are moving to Madrid
or
retiring to Andalucia or the
Costa Blanca, an orientation
visit is organised which allows the client
the opportunity to view relevant property
in different areas. This will enable the
property buyer to consider lifestyles or
investment potential in a much wider area context
than an estate agent could possibly offer.
Occasionally it is not necessary to have a
subsequent Inspection Trip.
Property
Inspection/Purchase Trip
Once the area
and property type are chosen, a more detailed
property inspection trip is organised, whereby
several days are spent viewing property
in the target areas. Many different
estate agents are normally used with often an
emphasis placed on local Spanish agents who tend
to charge less commission and normally have
access to properties owned by Spanish
people. Once found, an IRS trained
negotiator will negotiate the property purchase
for or with you. This often results in both
cost savings and a favourable purchase/sale
agreement. IRS rarely recommend
the payment of any deposit until paperwork
background checks are completed.
This despite the usual estate agent pressure and
argument.
TOP
Property Due
Diligence
When buying a resale property, whose owner has
his paperwork in good order, it is often
not necessary to employ the services of a lawyer for
the whole transaction process. IRS officers are trained to carry out
property background checks and due
diligence. The routine checks always
include checks for title, charges or mortgages
against the property, correct registration at the
land registry AND Town Hall, physical measurement
for size, property description discrepancies,
building permit approvals, council tax payments,
council plans for the area, talks with neighbours
and clarification of any discrepancies with the
relevant bodies.
Should IRS unearth a problem, then at that
point we recommend a lawyer be contracted,
thereby minimising their costs.
Any client wishing to use a lawyer from the
beginning will not be discouraged and will be
introduced to a lawyer whose services and charges
have been vetted.
TOP
Accompaniment at
Completion
It is crucial for a buyers representative, such
as IRS, to be present at completion. Last minute hitches often
occur which need resolving to the buyer's satisfaction whereas
lawyers are often only too keen to smooth over irregularities or
mini-problems to get the deal done. A bilingual IRS officer will be present not only
to uphold your interests but also to act
as the interpreter, which is in itself a
legal requirement.
IRS will also assist with the
organisation of completion monies and ensure the relevant people
are paid the correct amounts. Unsuspecting British buyers are
often unknowingly lumbered with all costs, and IRS fight hard to ensure
this does not happen.
TOP
Completion
Compliance
Upon completion, IRS officers ensure you have
a draft copy of your new title
deeds and that you are in compliance
with the various charges and taxes due.
TOP
NIE Number
Procurement
An IRS officer will company you to apply for
and then pick up the obligatory tax
identification number, required for all property
purchases and many other transactions in Spain.
First name terms with the administrators of these
numbers often eliminates hours of waiting
time in endless queues.
TOP
Introductions to Pre-qualified
Professionals
IRS officers are forbidden (with the threat
of instant dismissal) from taking commissions, which are
routinely offered as a normal part of doing business in Spain.
IRS are therefore able
to genuinely recommend the best
professionals, whether that is a lawyer,
an architect, a builder, banker or tax advisor.
IRS will always vet the proposal fees and
scope of service from any professional before
recommending a client use their services.
TOP
Bank Account
Opening
IRS will seek out an
English speaking banker that is local to your
target property, before accompanying you to the
bank and helping you open your bank account. The
proposed fee and commission structure will be
scrutinised on your behalf and certain
commissions negotiated to ensure you do
not over pay. The correct type of bank
account for your own personal requirements will
be solicited, again saving clients time and
money.
TOP
Currency
Transfers
Modern, competitive currency transfer methods
will be discussed with each client to ensure that
the best currency rate is secured for the
property purchase. This can bring savings
of 4% of the property purchase price.
TOP
Utility Name
Transfers
Upon completion, an IRS officer will ensure that the relevant
utilities, such as gas, electric and water are
all transferred into your name,
and that all future bills will not go unpaid by
the new owners !
TOP
Budget Planning and Buying
Strategy
As clients travel around with an
IRS officer, they are encouraged
to discuss their budgets and ideas in order to
formulate a buying strategy that best suits not
only their pockets but also their psychological
tolerances. The final buying strategy may well
differ from original ideas, but will be more
balanced, better thought through and will benefit
from the input of experienced trained
professional, working ONLY for
you.
