    Does a property survey protects you?

    Monday, October 10th, 2011

    Most Mallorca property buyers know a survey is good protection against purchasing a property with significant problems. But what if issues arise during the home inspection? Sometimes it can be difficult to know when to ask for repairs, a home allowance – or simply walk away from the deal. Check out these tips for taking home inspection problems in stride.

    How does a property survey protect you?
    Real estate survey reports protect you as a property owner or a potential mallorca property buyer by containing a legal description of the property boundaries.

    Some of the factors that the surbey will include are:

    • A legal description of the property including the dimensions and locations of the property boundaries
    • Information about the location and the legal status of the residential estate
    • The location of all buildings relative to the property’s boundaries
    • The location of adjacent properties
    • The location and description of all improvements
    • Any encumbrances and charges inscribed in the land register of the property.

    Property tax on new properties (IVA) reduced to 4%

    Friday, August 19th, 2011

    Today, the Spanish Government’s Development Minister, José Blanco has reduced the tax (IVA) on all new properties from 8% to 4% effective immediately. This temporary reduction will run until the end of 2011 and will stimulate sales on new property and boost the Spanish economy.

    With the ongoing financial crisis hitting Spain hard, the Government has taken a leap to boost the sales of new homes throughout the country. The real estate sector has been struggling in Spain since its peak in 2007 and the banks’ exposure to loans have forced many to offer properties at huge discounts with 100% mortgages. Potential buyers were only asked to cover the taxes and costs which amounted to a total of around 12%. Now with the IVA (equilavent of VAT in the UK) slashed in half, this will come as a huge bonus to potential property purchasers.

    Sales Manager at PropertyInSpain.Net, Ben Walker says: “With this reduction, our clients purchasing a property of EUR 200,000 would only have to pay EUR 8,000 instead of EUR 16,000, freeing up extra cash to use on furniture or reformations. From now until the end of 2011 we should expect a surge in demand for new property with the main purchasers coming from the UK, Germany and Holland.”

    The Spanish Government has made this move to further protect the banks and ‘cajas’ who have come up against liquidity issues and an over-stocked portfolio of repossessed real estate which remained unsold from when constructors and developers went out of business.

    The last 4 months of the year will be a crucial time and should encourage an influx of buyers looking for already heavily-reduced properties now with tax breaks.
