Hi all

I am currently looking for a property 2 bed pool walking distance to beach and Guadamar or la mata - my budget it tight but cash (€70000) does anyone know of a site that deals with sellers direct rather than real estate agents? Thanks

70k isn't a great deal. At best you will get an Appt with one bed unlikely to have access to a communal pool. Don't forget to add 10k onto your purchase price for tax and fees.

You could try the buy & sell groups on Facebook seems some people try and sell directly on there, but like the previous comment you are asking for a lot for 70000€ and if you do find a property at that price it might be revalued for tax purposes, we had to pay an extra 2400€ 4 months after purchasing the property. However good luck on your search this is a beautiful area to live.

TBH private sales are very rare as people tend to need the agents to do the viewings when they are in the UK ETC. 

Rightmove is the best pretty much everything will be on there. Whatever you see consider going in 10-15% under asking price. That will then net off the 10% taxes and fees I quoted in my previous post

Hi Alison 

Am just in the process of putting my 2 bed 1 bat apartment on the market, it's in Lomas del polo Pinomar, just south of Guardamar and 1 klm before La Mata. just by La Piscina restaurant. It's fully furnished to a high standard as we have only used it ourselves, I'm looking for around 76k euro but open to an offer, if this is of any interest to you let me know and I'll send you the details and some photos.

Hi

For that price you might get something in El Eden which is a lovely community. We bought last year in Portico Mediterraneo in between Guardamar and la mata prices range from 90€ to 110€ a two bedroom house with garage and beautiful pool.

Good luck with your search

Hi Pauline 

Thank you for your response - I know my budget is tight - I have viewed on Eden - it was lovely but still too far from the beach - friends have just bought in la mata within my budget so I am still hopeful / and as a cash buyer (like them) it seems to make things happen! 

Happy weekend!
