Busy Week Again


A couple of completions, clients from the USA, Valencia, The UK, Switzerland and Hanoi in this week. Haven't we got an international outlook in Valencia Property? The more I get involved in the company again after the hiatus of the birth of the latest addition to the family the busier we get. We are getting to the stage of a couple of years ago for amounts of work to be done which is good in one sense but that's a lot of work. We will not complain though!
We have a lot of new properties both on the main site www.valencia-property.com and also ready to go on after taking photos in the last week or so. We have a database of ninety properties that we need to go and take photos of too so if you are looking for properties in certain areas then we may have it even though it is not on the main site yet. Remember you can keep an eye on our latest properties and sold properties on Kyero at the link and we are now loading things onto un vistazo in Spanish too. To find our properties there just click on the link. More will be added bit by bit.

The photo is of a new property for us in Turis at 330000 Euros as always direct from the owner and she said there was a little room for negotiation but she was in no hurry. They always say that!

Compare and Contrast


Here we have a really nice chalet in the area of Godelleta. We have it at 234000 Euros, the price the owner wants, at the following web address. OUR WEB
Compare that with where I found it today. HERE
Where the price is a full 10% higher.
Can somebody please explain why it is necessary to add 10% in this way? This is further confirmation of what we always say. Do your homework before coming over and Valencia Property will always have the houses cheaper than anybody else or at worst at the same price but with a better service we believe.

STOP PRESS I have just found another one but even better, We have the chalet shown in the link here at 160000 Euros. HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT THE LINK AND ASK YOURSELF HOW A RISE OF 46000 ON THE PRICE THE OWNER WANTS IS JUSTIFIED HERE

September

We may possibly have our busiest month ever in September. Apart from the signings we have lined up there are loads of new properties ready to be seen and we have been burrowing away in the background on renewing our advertising to make the brand more visible. We have a lot of people lined up for visits so there may not be many updates if things get a bit hectic. If you are planning to come over and visit book early as we wouldn't want to let anybody down!

Remortgages and Valuations

Many of our clients are now sitting on a huge pile of equity after having bought in the last five years and seeing the appreciation in the rising Spanish market meaning they made a good little investment and a tidy sum. Spanish banks are finally waking up to the fact that there is equity in these houses and they can get some business from it and they are now willing to release that equity, usually by taking the mortgage from another bank. You have to pay an early redemption fee, usually one per cent of outstanding amount, but the savings to be made on a monthly basis by extending the time period while increasing the capital available for making improvements to the property or just to put away for a rainy day or invest in a second property or an off plan development means that a lot of people are now considering it.
We at Valencia Property have been arranging many of these deals for our own clients and others coming in to take advantage of the equity release and despite the rising interest rates there are still good deals to be found. Typically we are finding rates at 4% for the first year and on ongoing rate of Euribor plus 0.75% for this type of deal.
