Advice for buyers
The process of searching for a property can be time-consuming and requires both patience and persistence. There are two main reasons why someone might want to acquire a property – either for personal residence or for professional use. Here are some general tips to guide you in finding the ideal property for you.
Set your budget
Determine from the outset the amount you are willing to spend on purchasing the property. Don’t forget to factor in the additional expenses that accompany the purchase, such as taxes, notary fees, lawyer fees, and the real estate agent’s commission.
Choose an area
Make sure to identify the area that would interest you the most when purchasing or renting properties. There’s no reason to waste time searching for properties in areas that don’t interest you.
Do market research
It’s a good idea to gather information about the areas that interest you and to understand the supply and demand in the market. It is also wise to consult an experienced real estate agent to provide you with general
information.

You can inform us about your preferences and search criteria, so we can notify you if there is a property that matches your requirements.
Property viewing
When visiting a property, you will need to sign the viewing form provided by the real estate agent, and you should have already agreed in advance on their fee. Make sure to thoroughly examine the property and gather all necessary information, such as the year of construction, any potential renovations, and the net area. If you deem it necessary, don’t hesitate to request an additional visit accompanied by an engineer or
architect.
Caution with the deposit
To reserve a property, you will need to provide a deposit, which secures the property’s commitment at the agreed price and removes it from the market. The deposit can be made either through a private agreement or a notarial pre-contract, which offers greater security for both the buyer and the seller. If the property has legal issues that prevent the sale, the deposit is returned to the buyer.
Legal check
Ask your lawyer to conduct a legal check on the property you have chosen.
These are some tips that will help you with your first investment or purchase. If you need further clarifications, don’t hesitate to let us know.
