What is the difference between your service and a traditional Tenerife Estate Agency?
An Estate Agency works for their customer, the property owner. As a buyers agent we work for you. The difference is that we have your interests at heart, while an estate agency has the interests of their client uppermost in their mind, as you would expect.
You say your buyers agent service is free, can you explain?
Every Tenerife property you see advertised already has a commission payable to the Estate Agency built in. Our property buyers service is free to you, because we earn a commission from the Estate Agency or seller of the property that you choose. This means we are truly independent, and will take the time to find exactly the property you are looking for.
What happens if I see a property with another Tenerife Estate Agency?
Tell us. We will make contact with the esata agents on your behalf, get all of the details for you, visit the property to ensure it is exactly as presented by the agent, and let you know our findings. It is important to remember that you are our client. We work on your behalf to ensure your visit to Tenerife is a success in terms of finding the right properties to visit.
Can I speak to clients you have worked for?
Of course. If you want to talk to our existing clients, you can email from here for some contact details. As soon as we have received permission from our clients, we will email you with full contact details.
Why don't you list Tenerife properties for sale on this site?
Simply because we have access to thousands of Tenerife properties. But our job is not to sell you a property, but to find the property you want, there is a very real difference. Rather than list properties on our site, when we have your 'wish list', we will work from that. Once we have a property that falls into your category, we will send details to you immediately. This is far simpler than looking through all of the properties available.
What happens when we arrive in Tenerife?
The day following your arrival, we will meet you with a list of properties that fit exactly into the criteria on your wish list. Over coffee, we will go through the list, choosing those you want to visit, and those you don't. We willl then spend the afternoon, and the following days if need be, driving to properties and viewing them. We will accompany you to each one, to deal with Estate Agents and owners for you. We will arrange bank and NIE [national ID] details, and make sure all the bases are covered so you have nothing to worry about when you go home.
Do you specialise in an area or property type?
In terms of area, we cover the entire island of Tenerife. Regarding properties, we do not specialise, we can find any type of property you are interested in.
Will I need a lawyer?
Not always. Lawyers cost between 1% and 1.5% of your property costs. If the transaction is straightforward, we can save you money by undertaking the contracting ourselves. If the transaction has the potential to be more risky, i.e Probate,land segregation issues, or property debts, then we work with both English and native Spanish lawyers.
What about information on taxes and laws?
Once your 'wish list' is completed and submitted to us, we will send over information on laws and taxes here in Tenerife, Spain. Don't let any issues regarding laws or taxes worry you, we will be with you through the whole process, until the keys are in your hands, and after that as long as you need us.
What about rentals?
Renting your property is a great way of maximising your investment. Though we do not do rentals ourselves, we can put you in touch with a very reputable company who can undertake all rentals for you.
Do I need a bank account in Tenerife, Spain?
Yes. When you have found the property you want to buy, we will accompany
you to open a bank account locally. Don't worry about the language,we use
an international bank where all the staff speak very good English.
