Best tips for buying property in Spain

Have you ever been to Madrid? Yes I have visited Madrid to watch the Spanish football league. I must tell you that it's the great place to be in. the real estate in Spain is quiet similar to other countries. However you will find some difference in architecture. I would like to target both Spanish as well as non Spanish population who wants to settle in Spain. I would like to list some points related to Spain real estate.

1.The first thing which you will require is the bank account. You should have one bank account in Spain. If you are going to contact some Spanish real estate agent, he will help you out to open a bank account in Spain. However if you are making a trip to Spain you better make sure that this job is done in advance.

2.If you would like to take mortgage from a Spanish bank then I warn you that you should not do this. The interest rates of the Spanish bank might be very high and you will find it as burden. Hence I would like you to take mortgage from the bank of your own country. This will be a better option.

3.I must tell you that you can find all kind of properties in Spain. However the market of Spain is also experiencing some difficulty as the rest of the world. However I must tell that a day before it was a great day for the Spanish market. In fact I can't say that this was the case only with Spain. In fact the whole world market has seen an improvement. But during the lien period many properties were added to the foreclosure list which was very sad. I must tell you that short listing is not so common in Spain. However it is still practiced in some developed parts. For example you can't blame for lack of short listing if you are in Madrid.

4.You will find condos, beachfront apartments, resorts, communities and also single family as well as multiple family houses. You might find sometimes that the design of the house is old fashioned. However they are good and give you a royal taste.

5.You can buy a land as well and make the house of your choice. However you will have to contact to the architect and prepare a plan. You design should be passed by the municipal council. Only then you will be allowed to make your house.

I must tell you that there are lots of more points as well. However the process of buying a real estate in Spain is quiet similar to other countries. There is nothing new in it.
