Property finder in the Canary Islands: we find the home for you

What is a property finder, and why is it worth it?

A property finder works for the buyer: it starts from what you are looking for, not from what there is to sell. It scours the market, rules out what doesn't fit and brings you only the homes worth a viewing; then it stays with you through the checks, the negotiation and the paperwork, right up to the keys.

It is worth it above all for three kinds of people:

• Those searching from far away, who can't take a flight for every listing that looks right.
• Those who don't want to lose weeks to portals, duplicate listings and wasted viewings.
• Those who want someone on their side, not on the seller's side.

Search and shortlist: we find the right homes for you

First we listen: the island and the area, the budget, the type of home and, above all, the plan. A home to live in, one for holidays and one to let out are not the same home, and searching for them the same way wastes time.

• We search beyond the public listings too: among partner agencies on the islands, among private sellers and among properties that are not yet on the market.
• We view the homes in your place and rule out the ones that don't fit, so you never travel for a home that disappoints in person.
• For the homes worth it, we send you photos and videos: if you can't come, you see them remotely before deciding whether to view them in person.

Checks and negotiation: before you sign, you know what you are buying

Before anything is signed, we check the home's documents for you:

• The nota simple from the Registro de la Propiedad: who the owner is and whether there are mortgages or charges.
• The land registry (catastro): that the home described is the one you are buying.
• Debts tied to the home, such as community fees and local taxes.
• Licences and any unauthorised building work: what is in order and what is not.

Then we negotiate the price with the seller for you: we know the local market and can tell when a price holds up and when it doesn't. You decide; we give you the facts.

The paperwork through to completion

From the offer to the signing, we take care of it, with our network of professionals: lawyers, notaries, surveyors and banks.

• The NIE, the number that identifies a foreigner to the Spanish tax office: without it, you can't sign the deed.
• An account with a Spanish bank, to pay the seller, the taxes and the utilities.
• The mortgage, if you need one: we are not credit intermediaries; we introduce you to banks and advisers used to buyers from abroad.
• The notary and the deed, with an interpreter or power of attorney if you don't speak Spanish.
• The purchase taxes, which differ for resale and new builds: the guide to taxes and costs explains them with the official sources.

After the purchase: we stay with you

Completion is not the end: a home has to be put in your name, fixed up, lived in or let out. Buyers from far away find this out afterwards; we organise it with you.

• The utilities in your name: electricity and water.
• The renovation, with the firms and technicians in our network.
• Letting or managing the home while you are away.
• The move, if you are coming to live in the Canaries.
