I was with a client yesterday looking for a flat in Valencia and I finally managed to contact the owner of a place that has been looking interesting right by the Central Market in Valencia. I have to say I was rather confused because I had seen it at one price from the owner and then also noticed at a considerably cheaper price through an estate agent. So I phoned up.
Many people talk about the wow factor when they are thinking of buying a property in Spain, or anywhere else for that matter. What constitutes the wow factor though? I think you need a few examples.
Firstly, it is views that count. I have attached a couple of photos of a property for sale in Gilet and a property for sale in Olocau. Both get the wow factor for the views and both have made the best use of them by incorporating lot of glass into the design so that your eyes are constantly drawn to the views. The house in Gilet sees the sun come up over the Mediterranean actually giving you a good reason to get up before dawn.
Last week I didn’t post on here but I did post a lot on www.facebook.com/ValenciaProperty and on Twitter and other places where you might want to keep an eye out as that is where things go first. Meanwhile I was showing properties like the following to clients last week and having to deal with banks and valuations left, right and centre. Take a look and see what you think.
Just to the north of Valencia, 4km exactly, is the Marina village of Port Saplaya. Now Port Saplaya has an internal Marina, and many properties have views over the Marina or the Mediterranean, just avoid the ones with the views over the motorway to the back.
This beautiful flat has just come up for sale right in the heart of the Bario Carmen in Valencia. So my question is can you guess the price. Remember that at the height of the boom prices in the Carmen area of Valencia reached 3411 Euros per square metre and attic flats sold at a premium to that.
I have always done more than most agents when settling clients in and helping them with various aspects of their move to Valencia. Recently though I am getting more requests for the Full Monty of services, ie will you help us move and be our relocation agent. Lots of these requests are coming from the United States and so I am beginning to service them.
I was out today showing clients around a selection of houses that will suit anyone wanting to set up either a rental business or a place for putting on conferences, retreats or anything of that sort. Have a look at the photos and then get yourself over to http://www.valencia-property.com and have a longer peruse around.
When buying a property one of the things you often consider first is the communications aspect, telephone, internet, metro and bus. Valencia’s metro system is extensive and growing. Next year it will reach Ribarroja and Villamarchante which should increase more their desirability as they will become commuter belt towns which currently they only are for people who like braving the early morning traffic into the city.
