Buying a property in Spain is a big investment for many people, and one of the most frequently asked questions by our clients is: “Do I have to pay a commission for buying a property?”. We are happy to explain that in Spain, the buyer does not pay a brokerage commission! This means that the costs associated with estate agency services are paid by the seller or developer.
How does the agency remuneration system work in Spain?
Unlike many other countries, in Spain the estate agency’s fee is usually paid by the seller or developer, not the buyer. This means that, as an agency client, you don’t have to worry about additional fees. Your role in the buying process is simple: searching for the perfect property that meets your expectations and then finalising the transaction, the progress of which is monitored by experienced professionals.
Developers who sell new properties also include agency costs in their sales strategy, ensuring that you don’t have to pay extra to help you find your dream house or flat. This is standard practice, which makes the whole buying process more transparent and less costly for you.
Why use our estate agency?
Although buying a property without an intermediary may seem like a tempting option, it comes with serious risks. Unfamiliarity with local regulations, a language barrier or a lack of negotiating experience can make the transaction much more difficult and some important aspects may be overlooked. Our agency is here to ensure that you do not have to worry about any stage of the purchase process. With our knowledge and experience, you can rest assured that no key details will be overlooked.
That’s why you should use our estate agency to help you:
- Negotiate the price – As an intermediary, our agency has access to current listings and prices on the market. This allows us to help you get the best terms for your purchase by negotiating attractive property prices.
- Secure all the paperwork – The process of buying a property in Spain can be complicated, but with our help you will go through all the stages of the transaction – from the signing of the preliminary contract to the final transfer of ownership. Our agency watches over every detail.
- Ensure the security of the transaction – With an agency, you can be sure that all legal aspects have been fully checked. Our team will thoroughly review each property to make sure everything is legal. We work with a reputable legal agency, giving you full confidence that all the formalities are completed in accordance with Spanish law.
- Conduct the entire procedure in your language – Although many developers and estate agents in Spain speak English, there may be situations where a lack of language fluency can make it difficult to communicate at key points in the transaction. Our agency serves clients in multiple languages, including Polish, ensuring easy and stress-free communication at every stage of the process.
What happens if you decide to buy without an agency?
When buying a property without an intermediary, you will have to deal with a number of challenges, which may involve additional costs and stress. Developers or secondary market sellers may not be interested in looking after your interests, making negotiations difficult. In addition, many properties in Spain are only available through agencies, meaning you may miss out on the best deals on the market.
In the event of any complications with the property, such as problems with paperwork, repairs or the contract, you will be on your own. Without an agency, you could lose precious days, and sometimes money, trying to resolve these problems on your own.
