If you are looking to buy a property in Benalmadena, firstly choose a reputable agent. Good real estate agents will help your search to buy a property in Spain by helping to shortlist suitable properties based upon your chosen criteria.

Secondly, arrange a visit to look at property in Benalmadena. If you see something that you like and decide to purchase, you will need to pay a reservation deposit. This places the property OFF the market and FIXES the price. This is crucial in the rising Benalmadena property market.

We always advise you to seek the help of an English speaking lawyer in Spain. The lawyer will guide you through the process in two ways. Firstly, before signing contracts for your property in Benalmadena, the lawyer will ensure that the property you intend to buy is free of any debt and that the property (or land on which the property will be built) is legally owned by the vendor. Secondly, the lawyer will check that you purchase the actual property that was described in your contract. This removes any doubt or confusion at the time of completion.

During the buying process, you will be advised by your lawyer to send funds to pay for the purchase of your property in Marbella. With off-plan purchases, the payments may be spread over many months.
