NEWS SECTION

If you are considering buying or selling a home, or are even just curious how much your neighbour’s house is worth, more tools are becoming available on the Internet which can help you find the information you are looking for.

For a reasonable price (usually between four and eight euros) and by providing basic details of the property in question, you can obtain an estimate of that property’s value.

“The margin of error is minimal and will depend on the degree of homogeneity of the neighborhood where the house is located. For example, in Barrio del Pilar, Madrid, if we are asked to value a house whose characteristics do not seem to match the average in the area, we offer the customer the option to have one of our appraisers visit the property and carry out the valuation, also at a low cost of about 25 euros,” explained Tinsa.

The company, one of the market leaders, has just started marketing the new tool, an https://tasaciones.tinsa.es/valoraciononline/Tpv/Calculo.aspx?iniciar=0 costing only eight euros.

Finding out how much a home is valued at using this application is very simple. Just enter the website and complete a short question-naire. The price of this service is low cost, eight euros, and is payable by credit card.

The key data taken into account when deter-mining this kind of valuation is the location of the property, the type of housing (individual or an apartment block), the age of the property, size or floor space, number of bedrooms and if there are communal areas such as gardens and/or swimming pool.

The element which differentiates stima from other similar applications is that the calculation is performed taking into account previous valu-ations made by Tinsa.

Tinsa has a database of more than four million records, which continues to grow year after year, and which “allows them to arrive at a realistic result taking into account the down-ward swings that are occurring in market “, says Tinsa.

Within minutes you receive an email with a document attached in PDF form which contains all the information on the property and its final valuation. This study will not replace the tradi-tional appraisal that is often required by banks in order to grant a mortgage loan, but provides a first estimate of the monetary value of the house for sale.

“We think it is of interest to all those owners who want to sell a house and want to know its up-to-date market value, for those looking for a flat, have visited one they like and want to know if the selling price is at or not far from the valuation, or if you are simply curious about average values in a neighborhood or specific area,” says Tinsa’s director of Business Development.

Aer Lingus have now announced 10 new

routes as part of its winter schedule for

2011/2012 including a route from Cork to Las

Palmas, Gran Canaria.

The new service will operate once weekly,

commencing on Sunday October 30.

This route expands on the extensive choice

already on offer to Aer Lingus customers

travelling to the Canary Islands, with sched-

uled services also available from Ireland to

Lanzarote, Tenerife and Fuerteventura.

The extensive route network from Dublin

will now include four weekly flights to Milan

Malpensa throughout the winter schedule -

good news for ski and snowboarding enthu-

siasts seeking out the snow this winter.

The recently launched service to Stuttgart

will also be extended this winter with four

weekly flights from Dublin.

Aer Lingus Director of Communications,

Declan Kearney said, “There is something

for everyone in our winter schedule, wheth-

er you prefer winter sun in the Canary

Islands or skiing in the Italian Alps, Aer

Lingus has the holiday destination for you,

combining great value fares with excellent

in-flight service.”

Spanish hotels are set to take on 60,000

more seasonal staff this year than they did

last summer, an increase of 26%, accord-

ing to figures presented by the president of

the Spanish Confederation of Hotels Juan

Molas. This means that hotels will be tak-

ing on some 290,000 extra employees this

summer compared with 230,000 in 2010.

Hoteliers are hoping that 2011 will be bet-

ter than last year, thanks in the main to the

economic recovery in the main European

markets and an important increase in

Russian tourists (35% more bookings than

last year).

The Government’s financial vice president,

Elena Salgado, has responded to the sug-

gestion of the Bank of Spain to raise VAT in

order to generate more revenue, by saying

that the Government “will not increase VAT,

since it would have a negative effect on con-

sumption”, as was argued at the European

Commission. “To be clearer, the Government

will not increase the VAT,” she added.

At a press conference to present the Ministry

of Development’s advertising campaign on

rehabilitation, Salgado said that “fiscal policy

is the responsibility of the Government which

then must be approved by Parliament”, to

which she added that Government revenues

are behaving as expected, and “it is not neces-

sary to raise VAT to achieve fiscal consolida-

tion.”

In the same vein, she praised Brussels’ deci-

sion to back down in its request to raise

Spain’s tax as a counterweight to a reduction

in social contributions, and stressed that the

European Commission has been “sensitive”

to the Government’s arguments. At this point,

Salgado also rejected the possibility of reduc-

ing social security contributions, stating that

“we should wait a bit before taking steps in

that direction,” at least to see how the pension

reforms progress.

House Prices

Moreover, as reported in Diario Sur, contrary

to the Bank of Spain’s conclusion that house

prices will fall by 25% in real terms since its

peak in 2007, the Development Minister, José

Blanco, also present at the event, stressed “It

is not expected to drop much more.”

Also, on the 4.1% fall in prices reflected in the

National Statistics Institute’s figures for the

first quarter, Blanco noted that “the price of

housing in some places has already bottomed

out and is not expected to fall much further.”

“In areas where there is more of a surplus of

properties, prices may still be subject to some

adjustments, but overall prices are set fairly

and are not expected to change much more,”

he declared.

Spain’s Three Main Parties Vote to Ease Foreclosure RulesSpains three largest parties backed a resolu-tion in Parliament to help mortgage-holders facing foreclosure, after nationwide protests called for protection for homeowners from banks after the collapse of the property boom.

Parliament approved two weeks ago the motion drafted by the ruling Socialists, the main opposition People’s Party and Catalan group Convergencia i Union that called for an increase to the amount of income that is shielded from creditors’ claims and an increase to the value at which banks take foreclosed homes on to their books, accord-ing to the text of the motion, which isn’t binding.

Under current rules banks can deduct all but 641 euros of monthly wages. The new amount that is protected from deductions will be 961 euros.

“This will help a lot of people who are hav-ing a rough time or who may have a rough time,”

Spaniards protesting in nationwide demon-strations since May have called for easier rules for mortgage-holders who risk losing their homes as the end of a debt-fueled property boom pushed the unemployment rate to 21 percent. Under Spanish law, the bank can claim the difference from the bor-rower if a foreclosed property is sold for less than the outstanding mortgage, and has access to borrowers’ present and future assets and earnings.

Existing rules have kept the bad-loan ratio on mortgages for homes at less than 3 percent, according to the Bank of Spain, which defends the current system. Finance Minister Elena Salgado said on June 27 that mortgage contracts can’t be changed “ret-

roactively.”

New Mortgages

The proposal also aims to avoid the use of

“abusive” clauses in mortgage contracts

and encourage public-private initiatives

to clear Spain’s excess housing stock at

“affordable” prices. It encourages banks to

inform clients taking out new mortgages of

the possibility of contracts that allow bor-

rowers to cancel the debt by handing over

the property. Those contracts already exist,

although their use restricts the amount cli-

ents can borrow to a lower proportion of the

property’s value

The proposal isn’t binding, but motions that

win broad support are often sent back to

Parliament to be processed as legislation.

Hopping between the Canary Islands is about

to be made a little bit easier with the intro-

duction of a new ferry route linking Santa

Cruz de Tenerife with Fuerteventura. The

Transmediterránea ferry route begins on the

30th June and sails from Santa Cruz to Las

Palmas in Gran Canaria and then on to Morro

Jable in Fuerteventura. Prices are around

a very reasonable 20 euros return for resi-

dents, but there’s a down side; the crossing

takes nearly 9 hours.

This week the Spanish Government decided

to end the temporary reduction regarding

speed limits on the country’s motorways.

A reduced 110 km/h limit was introduced

in March in an attempt to save fuel costs

caused by unrest and rising oil prices in the

Middle East. With the price of oil now much

lower than in March and indications that

it will continue to fall, the government felt

that there was no justification in continuing

with a policy that had been viewed by many

as flawed in the first place. The decision to

revert to 120km/h from 1st July was met

with approval by auto-mobile associations

and with disappointment by environmental

groups who believed that the lower limit had

helped save fuel and reduce CO2 emissions.

FEATURE

1 Use a lawyer who’s also working

for, or has a close relationship with the

seller or developer.

Not only is it vital to use a lawyer, but make

sure the one you use is independent and

has no conflict of interest with the agent or

developer from whom you are buying

2 Confuse a lawyer with a notary.

Easily done, as notaries aren’t part of the

conveyancing process in the UK whilst in

most popular overseas destinations they

must, by law, rubber stamp all property

transactions.

3 Sign a contract without independ-

ent legal advise.

This is especially crucial when buying off

plan property and during inspection trips,

when you might feel pressured into signing

something. A good lawyer will always be

available by email/fax to check a contract

4 Rely on something unless it’s in the contract.

Rental guarantees, in particular, are often promised verbally but strangely absent from the contract. Ensure your contract is watertight.

5 Turn a blind eye to additional buy-ing costs.

In the Canaries taxes and fees can add another 10% on top of the purchase price, some other countries as much as 15% so bear this in mind when budgeting

6 Ignore the effect of fluctuating exchange rates.

Remember, the buying power of your pound decreases or increases as the value of the Euro or Dollar fluctuates

7 Overstretch your finances.

It’s a dangerous strategy to rely solely on rental income to cover your monthly mort-

gage repayments. Always have funds in reserve.

8 Ignore the local taxation system.

Get advice about your tax obligations and never assume things are done the same as in the UK, especially when it comes to inheritance issues.

9 Under declare the purchase price.

It was common practice on the Continent a few years ago and so locals still consider it acceptable BUT don’t be tempted to save yourself a buck on the short term gain, long term it costs you more. It’s fraud and could leave you in some nasty trouble, or behind bars.

10 Let your heart rule your head.

The vast majority of overseas property pur-chases run smoothly, but your dream prop-erty could soon turn into a nightmare if you fail to do your research and safeguard your own interests from the outset

Ten things you should NEVER do when buying abroad

CURRENCY

1 How can you ensure you minimise

the risks of the currency markets mov-

ing against you and decreasing the

value of your capital?

In recent years the currency markets have

been highly volatile. While you can benefit

from favourable exchange rate fluctuations,

there is also a downside. The earlier you

seek guidance from a specialist, the better.

They will have a range of tools designed

to save you money when you buy prop-

erty overseas. You should enjoy a proactive,

easy-to-use service that enables you to start

your new life on the best possible financial

footing.

3 What if you do not have access to

all of your funds?

One of the most useful facilities offered

by currency brokers is the forward con-

tract; a type of ‘buy now, pay later’ solu-

tion. Forward contracts allow you to fix

an exchange rate for months in advance.

Forward contracts offer peace of mind and

allow you to budget safely. Generally, a 10%

deposit of the total amount to be transferred

is required.

2 What are the pitfalls to avoid

when exchanging currency?

People need to be realistic with their expec-

tations. The pound is not as strong as it

has been in the past. Exchange rates may

look low in a historical context but there is

no guarantee of a dramatic recovery. The

current economic situation has left a pleth-

ora of good investment opportunities. It

could be that it makes more financial sense

to transfer your funds regardless of the

exchange rate. Similarly, if the motivation to

buy is based around a lifestyle choice, you

may not want to wait before you start living

the dream.

The impact of the money market on buying power

One of the most important factors when buying property overseas is the impact the currency market can have on your buying power.

To learn more we turned to Nat Davison from Personal FX to answer a few of our questions:


FEATURE

Inspection trips can be a very effective way of looking for property to buy abroad. An agent or a developer organises your flights and accommodation over a period of days – often at discounted rates – and arranges an itinerary of suitable properties to view.

Usually you are chauffeured around, looking

at plenty of properties and getting lots of local

information.

The idea is that you can find out as much as you

need to make an informed decision about buy-

ing as well as getting a feel for the local area.

But inspection trips have gained rather a tar-

nished reputation since the boom years, when

some people treated them as enjoyable little

freebies with no real intention to buy, or agents

produced overly ambitious itineraries and/or

48-hour barrage of hard sell that completely

back fired.

The fact is problems generally arise if buyer and

‘ host’ have different expectations so it’s wise to

know what’s entailed before you sign up.

Before you go, research the area, average prices

and build up a list of questions to ask.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch so if the

trip is heavily subsided, naturally the agent or

developer will be doing their best to sell to you.

Pay your way and you’ll keep greater control of

the situation.

Likewise don’t treat it as a cheap mini break, it’s

a working trip so expect a packed schedule, and

keep a clear head to make the most of your time.

Would taking a cool headed friend / relative help

your decision making?

If you wish for spare time to look around your-

self or breathing space to make decisions, make

this clear. Ask for an itinerary in advance, and

find out what costs are covered/ some might be

refundable if you buy.

It may sound fundamental, but do also check

that the person on the ground will be able to

speak English fluently, or this may limit their

usefulness.

Make sure you make your priorities clear so

your time won’t be wasted. Do you want to see

townhouses in a certain budget range? New

build or re sale? Which areas are of interest?

Don’t forget an agent is only going to show you

their properties. Making appointments with the

competition won’t go down well if you are on a

freebie so, again, if you want to get a broader

picture, pay your way.

When you are on the trip, always keep sight of

your two main objectives, gathering as much

information as possible during viewings prior

to making an offer, plus getting a feel for market

values so you can judge whether an individual

property is fairly priced.

Take a digital camera to record different proper-

ties, and make notes as you go along. You may

think you will be able to remember them, but

its amazing how 10 properties in a morning can

blur together.

It would also be useful to take a tape measure

and a compass so you can check for yourself

room dimensions and the properties orienta-

tion. A local map can also be very useful to ori-

entate yourself if you are being whizzed around

on a whistle stop tour.

If you feel you are being rushed, say so. It’s up

to you to seize the opportunity to glean as much

information as possible. Things to check when

looking around property should include, will

the layout suit your lifestyle? Is there sufficient

storage space? Do appliances work? (Feel free

Inspection tripsHard sell horrors, pointless freebies or the best way to find a property?

The truth about inspection trips


FEATURE

to turn on taps, cookers, showers etc) How does

the air con/heating operate?

Outside the property you might think about what

parking there is, check the boundaries, what is

involved with the pool upkeep, and what secu-

rity features there are.

Just as you might do when viewing a property

in the UK, you should try and see the property at

different times of day if you are genuinely keen

on it, as well as talking to neighbours if possible,

and checking out the immediate vicinity. When

buying off /plan you’ll be unable to inspect the

property itself, but its still important to visit the

site.

If you reach the point of wanting to make an

offer, don’t be pressurised into making a deci-

sion before you get home, and don’t be bam-

boozled into using their legal adviser.

It’s up to you and only you to get the most out

of your trip and many trips are hugely enjoyable,

informative and a great success, in the company

of a local expert

Top Tips• Do your research before you go and make sure the

agent is clear about your requirements

• Ensure that the terms of the trip and the expec-tations of both you and the agent are agreed in advance

• Expect a tight schedule and ask for an itinerary before leaving the UK

• Take notes and pictures as you go

• Ensure that no pressure is applied to sign a bind-ing purchase agreement during the trip. If you do want to go ahead with the purchase there and then, ensure that you have appointed an independent lawyer before leaving the UK, and that they will be available to discuss the contract before signing

Secrets Of Successful Holiday Rentals

Over the last 10 years the Canaries have

earned a reputation as one of the most

lucrative year-round rental accommodation

markets in Europe. More and more people

are looking to rent their properties due to

the slowdown in the property market, and

this is a good option to maximise your return

on investment while the property market is

weak.

Renting out a property in Spain can be com-

plicated even for experienced owners and

agencies, let alone the uninitiated. So, based

on Homecare on some inside knowledge,

we’re going to let you in on a few secrets and

some invaluable tips to guide you successfully

through the whole process.

Potential pitfalls of renting your property

There is money to be made from renting your

property. You can earn you between 450 and

600 Euros per week for a 2 bed property as

a holiday rental or 500 and 700 Euros per

month as a long term rental and there is still

a demand for rental properties. However, you

need to be aware of the problems as well as

the advantages before you start.

You need to be sure that you are able to manage the following situa-tions, or can find someone who can:

• Marketing your property

• Checking prospective tenant’s references

• Organising legally binding rental contracts in

English and Spanish

• Coordinating cleaning, providing new bed-

ding and ensuring the property is in good

condition

• Dealing with emergencies e.g. tenants losing

keys, water leaks, broken appliances etc. as

and when they happen

• Collecting the rent and dealing with any late

or unpaid rent

• Dealing with tenants who have accidents or

injuries whilst staying in your property

Make sure you are ready to handle situations

that arise when you have tenants - happy ten-

ants will keep coming back! Get help on the

ground that you can rely on no matter what,

for stress free rentals.

Short term or long term rentals?

If you are ready to rent out your property,

then you need to choose between short-term

rentals to holidaymakers, or to longer term

tenants.

Remember that you still have to pay tax on

income from your property, so speak to a

financial adviser to clarify your personal tax

situation before you rent your Spanish prop-

erty.

There are clear benefits to both forms of

rental. Here’s the low down on both so you

can weigh up the options

Long-term Rentals

If you’re only using your holiday home one

or two weeks a year, or perhaps not at all, we

would suggest renting out long-term.

Renting out long-term means contracting a

tenant to live in your home for a fixed period

of time. That time period can vary, but in

Spain it’s typically between six months to two

years. The tenant will pay you a fixed rent

each month and pay all the utility bills during

their tenancy. This offers you the security of

having rent coming in throughout the year

without the hassle of constantly changing

tenants.

It’s certainly the right time to rent out your


FEATURE

Secrets Of Successful Holiday Rentals

property long-term. With the recent drop in

property prices & lack of finance offered by

banks, more people want to ‘try before they

buy’, and will rent long-term until they find the

right property to purchase at the right price.

This means that despite the slowdown for

sales, the long-term rentals market is buoyant,

with a steady year-round demand for quality

long-term accommodation.

Renting to holidaymakers

If you want to use your second home dur-

ing certain times of the year and earn rental

income the rest of the time when it’s empty,

then short term rentals would be best for you.

One thing you should bear in mind before

renting out your property to holidaymakers is

the Canarian rental market is highly competi-

tive therefore it is a challenge to achieve the

bookings you are hoping for.

The good news is that there are some steps

you can take to improve your chances of

attracting holidaymakers to rent your home,

and more often.

Effective and Affordable Marketing

If you are using a rentals agency they should

do most of the work for you, so check what

marketing they will undertake for your prop-

erty. They should be marketing the property

locally and online and also via travel agents

and tour operators to maximise the amount of

weeks a year you are able to it rent out.

If you want to avoid the agents’ commissions

which can be up to 30% you can take market-

ing your property into your own hands. Good

sources of holiday rental bookings can be

friends, family, work colleagues, neighbours,

facebook & twitter so spread the word that

you have a property for rent. Send round a

good email including photos of your property,

full details and the rates to everyone in your

address book and ask your friends to pass it

on to their friends and colleagues. This is a no-

cost way to reach hundreds of people quickly.

Advertising around your area in newspapers,

property magazines or sticking up a notice in

a local shop window can also be an effective

way to generate holiday rentals.

Another tip is to advertise your own property

on one of the many Spanish homeowners’

holiday rental websites. This approach has

been successful for many of our owners,

who’ve greatly increased their holiday rental

bookings as a result.

Keep guests coming back for more

When it comes to renting out property suc-

cessfully, it’s not just about attracting holiday-

makers to your property in the first place that

really counts - it’s what happens during their

stay. Happy clients recommend you to their

friends, family and work colleagues; and there

is nothing more powerful than word-of-mouth

marketing. Our experience is that many rental

clients return year on year to the same place

- but only if they’ve had a happy time there

before. Make sure everything is in place to

delight them such as welcome packs, Island

guides & restaurant recommendations and

be sure that someone is available to deal with

any problems.

Remove the stress from renting your property

If you won’t be in the country to manage your

second home, try to find someone who will

be and is willing to take responsibility for the

property whilst you’re away. We’d suggest

you find a dedicated, professional rentals

management company with a property man-

agement team, who can provide you with

complete peace of mind, by freeing you from

all the hassle associated with renting out your

property.

FEATURE

The Escritura Publica and Nota Simple

The Escritura Publica is the registered title

deed of the property. It is entered in the

‘Registro de la Propiedad’, the Property

Registry, and is the only guarantee of title

in Spain. It contains a description of the

property, the details of the owner and any

mortgages or legal claims that exist against

the property. This document is important

because it tells you if the seller is the owner

of the property being sold. A nota simple

contains further details of any mortgages

or charges against the property and is also

available from the Registry.

The IBI receipt

Before purchasing a resale (not new)

Spanish property check out the ‘lmpuesto

sobre Bienes lnmuebles’, or lBI, which is

the municipal property tax. Ideally, you’ll

be able to see the IBI receipts for the last

fi ve years because that is the limit of liablity

for unpaid back taxes and is attached to the

property, not the owner. A new property

bought from a developer will not have an IBI

receipt (because it has never been ‘owned’)

so it will be your responsibility to register

the property for this tax.

The Referencia Catastral

Every property sale must quote the

‘Referencia Catastral’ of the property in

question. The Catastro is another system of

property registration in Spain, concentrat-

ing on the location, physical description

and boundaries of the property. While the

Property Registry focuses almost exclusive-

ly on ownership and title, the Catastro is

concerned with property valuation.

These two systems do not communicate

with each other, and it is common to fi nd

that the catastral description of a property

differs greatly from the one in the Property

Registry. It is a good idea to request the

actual certifi cate from the Catastro with a

full description of the property. The certifi -

cate is in two parts, one being a description

of the property and the other being either a

plan or an aerial photograph.

Community fees, statutes and minutes of the AGM

This only applies if you are buying a prop-

erty in an urbanisation or where there

are some ‘communal’ resources, shared

amongst a number of properties. These

are the fees charged by the ‘Comunidad de

Propietarios’, the Community of Property

Owners, a legal body that controls all the

elements held in common; the lift, gar-

dens and pool for example. Each owner

is assigned a quota, or percentage of the

expenses which, by law, must be paid.

Utility bills

These assure you that the bills are paid and

also provide an idea of what the running

costs of the property will be.

Misc

If you are buying a property in an urbanisa-

tion, make sure that it is legal and registered

by asking to see the approved ‘plan parcial’

at the town hall. If the property is on the

beach, make sure the development is also

approved by the Jefatura de Costas. For a

new property, make sure that it has been

declared for IBI and that the developer

has made the ‘declaracion de obra nueva’.

Also ensure that the escritura mentions the

house you are purchasing as well as the plot

of land on which it stands. As an additional

safeguard, it is wise to examine the town

planning maps for the area around the prop-

erty, called the Plan General de Ordenacion

Urbana, or PGOU.
