Hints for the purchase of a flat/apartment
Thanks to our long experience in selling properties, we can give the following advice to those people who live in houses back home and are therefore possibly not aware of certain advantages related to owning a flat or an apartment rather than a house.

Aside from the fact that an apartment will generally cost less than a house, it will also generally require much less work to maintain, entail less costs and less worry than a house; there will be no lawn mowing or pool cleaning. You will be able to simply open the door and immediately start to enjoy your holiday.



In contrast to a house, you can leave an apartment unattended for many months with neither problems nor worries.

If you live in a complex of apartments with a good administration, nearly everything can be taken care of for you. The electricity, telephone and other bills can be paid through your Spanish bank account, and you can keep in contact with your housekeeper from home to clarify any possible questions or problems. The laws in Spain are very clear and concise. They defend your rights and clearly define your obligations as co-owner in an apartment compound. These laws were always good, and have been made even better in the last few years, offering important guarantees to apartment owners.



Of course it’s true that an apartment doesn’t provide the same level of comfort as a house. The swimming pool doesn’t belong only to you but is also used by your neighbors. A terrace offers less space for sun bathing than your own garden, and if you want to have a barbecue with your self-caught fresh fish you have to make sure, that your neighbors are not being bothered by the smoke.


In general you have to show more consideration to other people and be more tolerant towards them. In the same way this closer living together has the advantage that you will get in contact with other people much faster if you like to do so. It is frequent that both adults and children make friendships in their vacation apartment compounds that last over decades.


Especially in the last ten years, many high quality apartment complexes have been built in all parts of the island. Well-maintained community gardens, beautiful pool areas etc. guarantee a pleasant and relaxing holiday and are still available for a reasonable price.



It’s important to have a close look; some apartments offer a quality life style similar to that of the best villas, but without the inconveniences and can be found at reasonable prices. Your will find many examples in our Internet database.
