Property viewing tours on the Costa del Sol – the VIVA way
What exactly is involved in a property viewing tour? And how long should it take? Here’s how we do it at VIVA.
Tell us what you’re looking for in Spain
Before you visit us, we’ll ask you what you want from your Spanish property. Do you want to look at new developments or resale homes? Would you like to be near the beach? What type of lifestyle do you lead? And how many bedrooms will you need? Once we hear your ideas and understand your requirements, we can get to work finding the best properties in the most idyllic locations for you.
Meeting up & getting started
Whether you want to spend a few days lazing by the pool before you start your tour, or you’re raring to go, we’ll organise a meeting time that suits you. We can arrange for a friendly VIVA face to pick you up from wherever you are – the airport, your hotel, at your home or one of our offices. Before we start looking at properties, we’ll stop for a chat at one of our 10 offices. It’s a chance for us to get to know each other, re-establish what you’re looking for and make sure you’re happy with the plan for the day. We’ll answer any questions you may have and, if you choose, you can meet with an independent lawyer or mortgage broker (in private, of course). If you’re not sure exactly how much you can afford or what options you have, this is a great opportunity to find out.
Get to know the area & the properties
Now it’s time to hop into an air-conditioned car and start the tour. The nature of the tour will depend on how well you know the region and what your requirements are. We can begin by showing you round some of the different areas, looking at local facilities, schools, golf courses and beaches – whatever you’d like to see. If you already know where you’d like to start looking we’ll head straight to the properties. Everyone is different, so every tour is different. We tend not to show more than 4-6 properties in a day as our clients have told us, any more can be a little overwhelming. That’s where our research really comes in – we won’t waste time showing you properties that don’t match your requirements. We’ll always try to show you a range of property types so you can make the most informed decision. With thousands of properties to choose from there’s something to suit every taste and budget.
Relax and enjoy it!
Discovering what different regions and VIVA have to offer is a really exciting and enjoyable experience. The pace of the day is entirely up to you. We like to stop off somewhere for a leisurely lunch, giving you the chance talk in private or with us – whichever you prefer. After you’ve viewed the day’s property selection you may want to discount some of the properties now, or arrange for a second look at your favourites. We can also review places you’ve visited with a virtual tour on our website, or in our offices and select new appointments for the morning. Then you’re free to enjoy all the area’s attractions for the evening – we’re happy to join you for a drink, but we certainly won’t try and keep tabs on you after the day’s viewing is over!
Finding your perfect Spanish property
We usually recommend you spend at least three days viewing properties. We’re happy to spend as much time as you need until you feel ready to make an informed decision. If that decision is to go ahead and buy, you can put a holding deposit down to take your chosen property off the market (for this reason it helps bring a credit card along). We can arrange for an independent lawyer to talk you through this process, if you have any questions.
