Many of you probably ask this question when it comes time to change homes or purchase a new property. Why do I need an agency when there are websites show direct information from an owner?

Generally speaking, a real estate agent will save you time and effort, protect you from incorrect owners, and guide you seamlessly through the process.

There are several important factors to consider when buying a property to ensure you make the right decision. These are the location and size of the property, the budget you have, and the type and condition of the property.

One of the most important things to pay attention to when buying a property is whether the seller owns the property and whether the property has any encumbrances. It is important to know that encumbrances are not automatically removed with the sale. They continue to exist and therefore action needs to be taken to clear these encumbrances before proceeding with the purchase. Secondly, it is advisable to pay attention about property location, whether it is well settled, whether there is established infrastructure, communications, etc. Third, but not least, it is good to be sure that the preliminary contract /if any/ is legally written and sound.

The notary fee per property is determined depending on the property price. The two parameters on which the amount of fees is calculated when buying real estate are the material interest and the property  location. Based on these inputs, the so-called notary fees are calculated, and include: a notary fee, VAT on notary fee, registration fee, local tax, and general fee.

When buying a property worth over €500,000 do a thorough check of the market value of the property, check its legal status, and research its location carefully. Be sure to seek professional advice and be sure the property matches your wishes and expectations.
