People interested in buying real estate always have the same question: who to buy the property through?
Who to buy through?
We can say with certainty that, in order to avoid the multitude of problems in the selection of the property, the legal formalization and the security of the purchase-sale agreement, it is reasonable to deal with professionals in the sector.

THE ADVANTAGES OF OUR PROPERTIES
An exceptional portfolio will allow you to choose the best option very quickly. Our sales advisor will offer you the opportunity to obtain detailed information on any question related to the purchase process.
For Andalusia, it was introduced in the Statutes on October 11, 2005 to regulate and ensure that the information provided is complete and correct. Decree 218 shows all the details of the property and, in the case of properties for sale, informs if there is a mortgage or extensions on the property that have not been added in the Purchase Deed (swimming pool, garage, extra bedrooms, etc.), and therefore do not appear in the Registry data (Simple Note).
The home buying process
You will contact the sales advisor and provide them with information about your needs. We will then present the seller with what you are looking for as a buyer.
• Property selection, proposed in the company's database or by individual property search request.
• Property inspection by location, according to the buyer's preferences.
• Simple Note of the property, preliminary for checking the selected properties in order to detect the presence of debts and the definition of all owners.
