  • - Decision-making and information gathering: once we have chosen the house or apartment that we want to buy, we must investigate basic information that we need to know.
  • This is if a property has financial burdens, tax debts and if it is correctly registered.
  • We can obtain this information by visiting the competent bodies, who must provide us with the required information.
  • - Information on the procedures to be carried out: the acquisition of a property requires preliminary information like that of any good.

  • And this implies multiple questions to consider: if it is a horizontal or vertical property if it is used or new and many more alternatives.
  • - The value of things: it is essential to carry out a preliminary investigation of the value of the property we will acquire.
  • For this, you must do a market study, consider where the house or apartment is located, how much the square meter costs in the place where it is located, and many similar issues.
  • And there is relevant data in all this: these actions will be essential when applying for a mortgage loan.
  • Do not forget that a loan is always delivered from the actual value of a property.
  • And one more fact: we must know that there are different types of mortgages: fixed, variable, or mixed.
