If you want to buy a property in Gran Canaria, HomeFinder Gran Canaria Real Estate will give you the best professional service and advice.–-

All our properties are verified by a rigorous process : HomeFinder Gran Canaria Real Estate verifies all the properties rigorously before they are introduced to the market. In addition, we check in the Spanish Local Land Register to validate the ownership, the registered square meters, that the property is free of restrictions, property liens and mortgages.

We offer our clients all guarantees to make a safe purchase.

Before the signing of the contract of the property, we request the services of a notary to certificate that hanging bills do not exist in the owners' Community, we ask in the Town Hall for copies of the last bills of water and electricity, and we demand an energy efficiency certification. In Spain it is obligatory to sell a property free of “ loads and charges “; in other words, free of debts.

After you have found the right property for you and the needs of your family, in our board of properties, follow these simple steps about:

1. Reservation: a deposit of 10 % property value is expected in order to assure the property you have chosen. This will also give you time to organize your move. It will be signed a “earnest money deposit” agreement as part of the reservation process to guarantee the property for a specific period of time previously agreed.

2. Financing: if you need to finance the purchase of a property we have a board of financial collaborating entities that will make a study of cost and feasibility (free of charge) according to your financial profile and the price of the property. This study will allow you to compare the different available offers and take the best financing option.

3. Documentation: we will gather all the required documentation for you. Our foreign buyers have to bear in mind that it is necessary to obtain a Foreigner Identification Number (NIE) and opening a local bank account.

4. Notary: we will check all the required documentation for the buyer, the seller and the property, setting also an appointment with the Notary to formalize the deal.

5. Taxes: real estate properties are subjected to Spanish fiscal obligations. About taxes, it is compulsory to change the name and address of the new owner on service contracts like water, electricity, phone, insurance bills, etc.
