Buying property in Benalmádena
Work out the full purchase budget before comparing homes. Keep the asking price, buying costs and property checks as separate parts of the decision.
The asking price is only one line in the purchase budget. Calculate the tax and transaction costs before deciding what price range to search.
Set the full budget
Begin with the maximum amount you can commit to the purchase. Separate the property price from purchase tax, professional fees and any financing costs.
The calculator on pinspain uses the property price, region and property type to produce a line-by-line estimate. Treat the result as a planning figure and confirm the final amounts before signing.
- Keep purchase costs outside the amount reserved for the property price.
- Allow for any work or furnishing separately.
- Compare homes using the same total-budget limit.
Check the property
Once a property is under serious consideration, ask an independent professional to check the ownership record, registered charges, contracts and the property documents relevant to the transaction.
The seller, agent and buyer have different interests. Choose your own independent adviser and get any condition or payment obligation in writing.
