Buy Property

Buying property in Spain Buying property in Spain Introduction to Spanish property market. News, advice, real experiences, buying to let in Spain, mortgages, special offers. Thursday, December 15, 2005 Valencia Land Law debated in the European Parliament This week the European Parliament debated and voted on the recommendations of the Fourtou Report on the controversial Ley Reguladora de la Actividad Urbanistica (LRAU). The law, known by those who protest against its consequences as the Valencia land grab law was originally designed to make sure that areas under development had sufficient infrastructure (roads, street lighting, green belt areas etc.). That was the the theory. However in practice the law has meant that property developers are able to apply to build on land already belonging to other owners where building is not permitted. When their application is approved (as it often is), the land is reclassified by the authorities, and the developers are then allowed to pay exisiting owners prices far below the real market value and build a road, a path or even part of a golf course, sometimes right through the middle of the former owner's back garden. Most of the people affected by this law are Europeans who have seen their dreams of a perfect Spanish home in the sun shattered by ruthless developers. More than 15,000 people have made a formal protest asking the European Parliament to intervene, and the protest group set up to fight the LRAU, Abusos Urbanísticos No , has been active in attracting national, international, political and media attention to a growing problem and demanding a solution. And recently British law firm Irwin Mitchell decided to register land law victims with the European Human Rights Court . Valencia's regional government promised in 2003 to revise and reform the LRAU, but seems in no rush to do so. A pre-project was presented to the Valencian parliament in June this year, but nothing has yet come of it. While the government insists that its intention is to change the law and protect the interests, and land, of property owners, opposition and protest groups allege that it is prevented from doing so from the interest of many of its members in the property development underway in the region. Ever since local and foreign property owners started their active protest, the Government has come under increased pressure to do something. In the Summer a delegation of Euro-MPs visited the Costa Blanca and met with foreign residents, local politicians and property developers to discuss the problem. In November the European Parliament advised the Valencian authorities to modify urban development legislation in the region. And finally this week on 12th December the European Parliament discussed the Fourtou Report and endorsed its contents in a vote on the 13th by a massive majority of 550 in favour, 45 against and 25 abstentions. The Report calls on the European Parliament to urge a moratorium on the approval of new property developments on land where development is not permitted. Any body considering buying property with land in the Valencian Region is advised to seek legal advice from a lawyer who can help with the necessary investigation to ensure that the land attached to the property is not in danger of being subject to eventual seizure by property developers.

The overall value of bank home loans rose by 32.1 percent. In August a total of 131,180 mortgages were authorised to customers buying rural and urban properties in Spain and the overall value of these mortgages rose to 19,252 million euros. As usual Spain's savings banks got the biggest share of the home loan market - 53.42 percent - followed by normal banks (36.88 percent) and other lending companies (9.7 percent). Over ninety percent of mortgage loans corresponded to purchases of properties in the so-called " precio libre " (free price) category and just 9.9 percent to purchases of "protected" properties whose selling price is controlled by the government. As far as yearly figures are concerned, the number of mortgaged properties in Spain has so far risen by 9.82 percent this year, while the total amount of loans has shot up by 24.87.

According to the results of Barclay's study, five percent of UK residents (2.2 million people) already own a property overseas, and another 2 million definitely intend to buy one. And a very high 37 percent of those surveyed for the study said they are considering the possibility of buying a property abroad at some time in the future. Spain remains the firm favourite among British overseas property buyers, with the US coming second and France third. Not surprisingly, the main things putting UK citizens off the idea of buying property abroad are legal and tax complications, the possibility of being misled or deceived by local property sellers, and the difficulty of adapting to a new language and culture. Related: Reasons for living in Spain Property taxes in Spain Spanish lawyers Advice on buying a house in Spain posted by Euroresidentes @ 1:07:00 PM 1 comments Sunday, October 23, 2005 Lessons from one unhappy experience of buying a house in Spain It is an unfortunate fact that the legal system in Spain is at times desperately slow. Anyone considering buying a house in Spain is advised to find a good Spanish lawyer before signing anything at all and before parting with any money. David Wright has just started a new blog to share his unfortunate experience of buying property in Spain with other people. See the first entry below. Users interested in following his story as the final part unravels (and as, we hope, justice is finally done and the Wrights win the home and compensation they deserve) should check out his blog: Slow legal system where he intends to keep people updated with events as and when they happen. Considering tourism and housing investment bring considerable amounts of wealth to Spain, the Spanish law system is appalling slow and expensive. At the begginning of 2000 we enetred into a contract to buy a house, paid the 10% deposit and arranged a date with the notary and respective lawyers to complete. The seeler did not turn up and decided not to sell. THE BIG SURPRISE... he also would not repay the 10 % deposit never mind the penalty of 10%. Our only alternative was litigation. As we were not living in Spain at the time we left a deposit with a lawyer who told us that it would be a straightforward case. Well our case was finally heard in the local courts some 18 months later and we "won" including costs. However, the seller chose to appeal on what I understand to be very flimsy grounds. Some 2 years later the case was reheard in the Regional courts of Malaga where the original decision was upheald. ie we "won" again. However, the seller again decided with his lawyer that an appeal was in order and so we have been waiting almost 2 years for the case to come before a judge in MAdrid's high court!!! We still do not have a date nor can the system give us an estimated date as to when the case will be heard.!!! WHAT CAN fellow EURORESIDENTES learn from this? I believe the following: 1: Entering litigation is very expensive - even though we have "won" twice, we have still had to pay our lawyers fees and costs even though the costs were awarded in our favour. The amount equates roughly to 17% of the purchase/contract price!!!! per hearing. At this point we have paid almost 50% of the orginal house contract price, (deposit plus fees) 2: The seller continues to live in the property and with no penalty or change. 3: We have no idea of timescale as to when the High court can hold the hearing. 4: The so called filtering process that was supposed to be implemented to stop people using the appeal process to delay matters as a tactic does not function. 5: The seller is not obliged to pay the costs awarded against them IF they choose to appeal....SO APPEALING is a good tactic to frustrate. 6: So having a contract from a good lawyer and within the letter of the law, still does not really protect your rights in a timely manner. WHAT then is the point of a contract? it is only worth something to the lawyers in preperation for litigation!!! 7: Perhaps the law will one day help us to retrieve our deposit and costs or even the holiday home we wanted to live in and enjoy in the future. However in the meantime, it has only benefited the lawyers and the vendor. 8: So the law can still be seen as having no "teeth" and benefits the unscrupulous property owner/seller. TAKE GREAT CARE. Finally, if anyone has any suggestions as to what can be done to improve the law or indeed speed up the process then let me know posted by Euroresidentes @ 10:08:00 AM 0 comments Saturday, October 22, 2005 Lowest rise in house prices in Spain since 2002 According to the General Director of Arquitecture and Housing Policy, Rafael Pacheco, the rise in the cost property has risen just 13.4 percent in the last 12 months. This represents the lowest rise for 3 years and, according to Pacheco, is the first clear result of the Spanish government's housing policies. The General Director also indicated the regions in which house prices have risen most. These are Castilla La Mancha (19.8 percent), Aragon (16.4 percent) and the Valencian Region (16.3 percent). In Andalucía, traditionally one of the most popular destination for non-resident house buyers, the rise in house prices at 13.7 percent is only just above the national average. The most expensive region as far as the cost of housing is concerned is Madrid (2,719 euros per sq. metre), followed by the Basque Country (2,537 euros), Catalonia (2,037 euros) and the Balearic Islands (2,003 euros). The cheapest regions are Extremadura (864.2 euros per sq. metre), Castilla La Mancha (1,255 euros) and Leon (1,297 euros).

Having completed the glossary, we are now working on full definitions of each term, so that our users can get an idea of how the Spanish property market differs from the property market in the UK. In this sense we want to go beyond a simple bilingual list of property terms. Send us any words not included. We hope to finish all the definitions in the next few days. Click on each term to get the full definition. posted by Euroresidentes @ 12:07:00 PM 0 comments Wednesday, October 05, 2005 Real estate market in Spain, latest statistics According to a study carried out by the Pompeu Fabre University (Barcelona) and Tecnocasa, the housing market in Spain has started slowing down and a halt in the massive price increase experienced over the past fews could be near. The authors have based their opinions and conclusions on the analysis of the sale of over 12,000 second-hand houses and flats and details of mortgages granted to buyers from the first semester of 2004 up to June this year. According to the report, lived-in property (as opposed to brand new) now takes an average of 83 days to sell, which is 15 days longer than a year ago. Another finding of the report is that property sellers this year are more likely to be prepared to negotiate the price than they were last year, and that on average buyers are able to secure a 5 percent reduction in the original asking price. During the presentation of the report yesterday, executives of Tecnocasa said that this should not be interpreted as an indication that the price of housing in Spain was at last starting to come down, since the reduction was usually agreed on property that was overhoused in the first place. However, in their opinion, the findings of the report do suggest that the conditions necessary for an eventual slowing down in the Spanish real estate market at some time in the near future are starting to appear. Other findings of the report: 30 percent of house-buyers in Spain are foreign. 72 percent of all house-buyers come from Spain or another EU country. The rest are non-European, mostly people from South America, Eastern European countries and North Africa who have settled in Spain Over 49 percent of second-hand house buyers are between 25 and 35 years old, and 61 percent buy the property together with another person The average mortgage in Spain in June was 154.890 euros, a rise of 18.80 percent with respect to the same month last year In over 60 percent of all cases, the mortgate loan covers between 75 and 100 percent the total value of the property Small flats are proportionally more expensive than larger flats and houses The average price of lived in property in Spain per sq. metre is 3,000 euros in the most expensive areas of Spain (Madrid, Barcelona and Vizcaya). dropping to just 1,500 euros per sq. metre in the provinces of Alicante, Cadiz, Seville and Valencia The most expensive cities in Spain in terms of housing prices are (in order) Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao and L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (3.070 euros).
