When you have made the decision that you wish to purchase in Spain through Trinity Real Estate, the next stage is to get the preparation done.

There are two ways to come to Spain to view properties. Firstly there is the appointment; this is ideal for those people that are travelling to, or already reside in Spain. A meeting point is arranged where you will meet, face to face the member of the company that you have been speaking to on the phone. This is our opportunity to show you where we will go over the time that you have. Through a number of calls we will have built up a thorough idea of what you are looking for, there will be a personal property portfolio compiled with your requirements in mind.

The alternative way to view properties with Trinity Real Estate is through a personally designed "Property Tour", known as inspection visits in the industry. This gives you the knowledge and confidence that for a very reasonable price you will have your flights accommodation and transport organised for you. These last from one day to a week and are customised to your needs. When landing in Spain you will be met at the airport by a member of our team, who will take you to your accommodation to freshen up. After a going over your personal property portfolio, you will be taken around the coast at a leisurely pace.

Viewing properties in Spain is a fantastic experience. It is essential that you enjoy this unbelievable journey and we do this by taking things at your pace. It is important to note that we have an exclusive one on one service where you are in an air-conditioned car with your own personal guide, who has extensive knowledge of the coast and the property that you are looking to purchase.

We believe that living the lifestyle on your tour is an essential ingredient, so expect to see ports, pueblos and have the occasional drink stop on the beach. There will be no rush and absolutely no pressure to buy, simply enjoy the experience of a lifetime.

When you are shown properties by Trinity Real Estate there are several essential pointers to note.

• Your new home will have a TEN-YEAR GUARANTEE.
• Bank guarantees are set in place to protect your money.
• All existing properties have no debts on them, and the vendor has the right to sell.

Before you decide to buy you will be given free legal and financial advice to explain fully the various options available to you. Independent lawyers and financial advisors are at your disposal when it comes to the purchase. Alternatively you are free to use any contacts of your own that you may have.

Once you have found your dream home you need to do the following:

Off-Plan/New Build

• Reserve your property with a reservation fee of between 3000€ and 9000€. This does two things. It takes your property off the market and importantly freezes the price.
• Appoint a lawyer and apply for your NIE number. The NIE is applied for at the local police station and takes approximately ten days to be completed.
• Thirty days after paying the reservation fee, a deposit of 30% needs to be put down on the property. This is known as signing the Private Purchase Contract (PPC).
• Await completion of the property (up to two years) and pay the remaining balance or receive a 70% mortgage from the builder.

Existing Property

• Reserve your property with a reservation fee of between 3000€ and 9000€. This does two things. It takes your property off the market and importantly freezes the price.
• Appoint a lawyer and apply for your NIE number. The NIE is applied for at the local police station and takes approximately ten days to be completed.
• Thirty days later pay the balance of the agreed price. In some cases a 10% deposit is required if the completion date is over one month.
  Purchasing a property in Spain is a very simple process. With the right guidance and support, from the day that you find your new home you can be moved in within 4 weeks.
• Next come the exciting and fun times, decorating and furnishing your home. Once again we have many business partners who are experts in this field.
