Before your offer is accepted, there may be some discussion regarding the price and what is included in the sale. Your lawyer will draft the contract, both parties will sign the sales agreement, and you will pay the reservation fee, usually 5,000 euros, to take the property off the market.
If you aren’t making a cash purchase, speak with your bank to get pre-approval for a mortgage before you make an offer. The vendor will feel more comfortable accepting an offer when they know the purchase can be financed. Your lawyer will also start all the searches necessary to ensure that you are buying a house in Javea that is being sold legally.
Your lawyer will also obtain the necessary Land Registry and planning information to confirm the property's legal status before completion.
After completing all the searches, you will be required to pay the remainder of the 10% deposit, less the reservation fee, for your new home. This usually must be paid within 30 days of the signed reservation agreement. At this time, a date will be agreed to make the notary appointment to complete the deed transfer and pay the vendor the final money. Your lawyer will ensure that all legalities are processed correctly, and you will receive the keys to your home in Javea when the money has been transferred.
