Thinking of buying in La Zenia

On our small community two places have been bought recently by UK buyers looking for holiday homes. I accept this means nothing in isolation but people are buying.

Use of a negotiator on paper makes sense as long as the conditions are right. The last thing you want is to owe them money without securing a property so the engagement terms would be key. We decided against using one when we bought. Instead we identified more than one property we'd be happy with and offered against each, increasing incrementally until someone accepted. We started at about asking price minus 15% and ended up with 10% off.

Good luck with your search.

Thanks for the info Lancelot. I was thinking 10% below asking price would be about the going rate. No doubt Estate agents would like you to pay the max to enhance their commission. I think I will take my time to best test the waters as I really only get one chance.

Cheers Russ

Don't assume that 10 or 15% is the right offer.

I was offered -25% on 2 properties I sold, it allow you to start the process, if they have not had much interest they may will accept especially if you can buy there and then with no messing around.

The 10% reminds me of the first holiday repsaying something similar, I think all traders know the advise and knew they could life there price to allow 10%, away from the holiday area things were much cheaper.

The property is worth what someone will pay, no offers and the value today in the market is Zero.

Make sure you have all the funding and anything else you need in place

Surely the price ,that the property is up for ,is the right price ,or is this just plucked out of thin air ,very much against what is classed as cheeky offers ,I've watched Homes in the Sun and some of the offers are criminal ,I dont see.why buyers should be paramount 

John52 Buyers are only paramount if you want to sell quickly. However if you can hold on indefinitely your chances of achieving your asking price increase. As for the price the property is on the market for being the correct price, that is only true if someone is prepared to pay it. If the buyers in the current market are unwilling to pay your asking price then its the wrong price.

Sorry  disagree, there has to be some mechanism that is used for calculating the value of a property  ,whether its previous price ,inflation rate etc ,I will agree however if you are desperate to sell ,you probably wont obtain best price as too many thieves out there

I could ask €130K for my property which is the same as ones nearby but I have decided to advertise it for €99,950 as priced to sell as we have bought another nearby, anyone want details let me know and I'll message you the link

Well Lee you must have your reasons for the asking price ,but I bet you will still get some bandits trying to cut you ,wish you well

Yes John, I will speak to the agent with reference to this, I think most people would like something off and I would like to advertise it for €104,950K ONO and accept €99,950K but the agent wants to put it on at €99,950 to move it quickly, - if that's the case I will be sticking to that price. It's Really Good Value for money for where it is I think it will sell quickly. It's near the Boulevard n 20 Mins walk to the Beaches.
