Buying an apartment or comprar apartamento as they say in Spanish is a common form of investing in properties or propiedades. First and foremost it is important that you know what you need. It might seem obvious but the kind of apartment that you purchase should reflect the kind of lifestyle that you are planning for your future. You must take into account the number of members in the household, how close it is to local amenities like supermarkets, schools, place of work, church, leisure activities and so on.

The next thing you ought to do before you comprar apartamento is to have a word with your bank manager or perhaps your financial services consultant in order to work out your budget level and maybe get pre-approval from the financial institution before you just go out and buy one of the propiedades. This way you can be in a position to make a cash offer if you happen to find an apartment that meets your needs.

If you are looking to comprar apartamento you can find out what propiedades are available by going through newspapers as well as real estate publications, calling up real estate agents and telling them ...
... about your requirements and of course the online listings which are updated every now and then. Some of these real estate or bienes raices websites even let you get notification on properties that might suit your requirements thus making sure that you do not miss out on prospective opportunities.

If you want to comprar apartamento and you have found the propiedades that meet your needs, ask the real estate agent for sales statistics for similar kind of properties in the locality. If the property is going to be auctioned, get a copy of the auction agreement and discuss it with your solicitor. Bear in mind that if you buy at an auction, you have to pay a deposit of 10% when the hammer falls. It would be wise to inspect the apartamentos or aparments, casas or homes, real estate or inmobiliarias before you make a purchase and get a copy of the LIM report. It would be wise to organize an independent valuation as well.

Once you have decided to comprar apartamento and the offer has been written and negotiations have been finalized, you will have to sign the Sale and Purchase Agreement and make a deposit payment which is normally 10% of the sale price. A copy of the contract will ne sent to you as well as to your solicitor. Once the financial transactions are finished, ownership of the propiedades is transferred to you. Before this settlement day, you can ask for a pre-settlement assessment of the property in order to make sure that nothing has changed ever since the purchase was made. Once all the procedures for settlement have been confirmed, the keys will be handed over to you.
