Surveys
| Chartered Building Surveyors | Costa del Sol
With
the amount of property for sale on the Costa
del Sol,
it is easy to make mistakes on what you choose to buy as
your investment. We offer peace of mind that is honest,
upfront and of our best professional opinion. In Europe it is accepted
practice that before you buy a new property, you seek professional
advice. However, in Spain this has not been the case and
this is where we can help you because we believe that the Costa
del Sol is the place where you are in even more need of advice.
According to recent studies, only 6-8% of foreign buyers
instruct for a professional Survey of the property they
wish to buy. What
is a Chartered Building Surveyor?
If
any defects are found, the buyer can negotiate
with the seller to have them repaired prior to sale or
to have the price reduced to cover the costs. In extreme cases,
you might find that there is too much to be done and it would be
better to look at another property that will allow you to live the
Costa del Sol ''dream life.'' Here are a few reasons why you should
have a Survey.

The
Survey Report and P.S.I is not only there to assist you in making
reasoned and informed decisions on whether or not to purchase
the property, but also can be used as a negotiation tool. It is
important to remember that we are instructed by you and work
only for you. We have no conflicting loyalty to developers,
contractors, owners, estate agents, lawyers or town halls.
What
we will do is meet you at the property that you are viewing and
walk around it with yourself, no time limit, explaining what we
think, be it both positive and negative. If you are not able to
be there, we will again go around the property, no time limit, and
conclude what we have found into a document together with photographs.
If
you are viewing or about to view a new property and want someone
on your side and not sure if there any major structural
problems or you just want that second opinion, why don't you give
us a call and let us help you to make the right decision.
Our
advice to you is, rather find out any problems/defects
now, before they cost you in the long term. Our fee for this service
starts from 600€ + IVA (18%).
Valuation
Survey | Costa del Sol
This
type of report covers only basic factors, such as the property’s
location, age, type and general state of repair. However, it is
important to remember that this report doesn’t guarantee
that the property is structurally sound and that there
are no serious defects. However, only major defects that
will effect the value of the property will be noted.
A
Valuation Report gives a true opinion of the market value in Euros
at the date of Inspection, without just applying the average rate
per sq m formula. When producing a Valuation Report, we take into
account the following:
-
The asking prices of similar properties in the same location.
- The strength of the property market.
- Any special features of the property.
- Condition of the property and of the comparables.
Unless
stated otherwise, all our market values will be calculated subject
to the following definition - "The
estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date
of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an
arm's-length transaction after proper marketing".
After our investigations at the property, we then provide a written
report in English, together with digital photographs showing any
defects that we might find. If it is necessary we can arrange
for a more in-depth investigation thereafter, depending on what
we find and what your wishes are.
