The service we offer starts from our first contact with you, where we endeavor to obtain as much information as possible on the type of property and location required. Whether you are looking for an apartment to lock up and leave, or a large villa for all the family. We will provide you with property information that is relevant to your specific criteria and within your budget, as well as sharing our wealth of knowledge on living and the lifestyle in Spain. When you come out to view we will be there to not only show you the properties, but to provide as much information as you require.
Where possible, the same representative will remain with you throughout the whole process, so there is only one name to remember for all those queries and questions that will arise along the way. Our service doesn't stop once you have chosen your property. It continues on until you are settled into your new home and lifestyle in Spain, giving that additional reassurance needed when making such an important and expensive decision.
With a wide range of properties available, from small apartments to large frontline villas, new build or resale, running along the coast; Altea, Calpe, Benissa, Moraira, Benitachell, Javea to Denia and then inland through the Jalon and Orba valley areas, we have a property for everyone. Our Premier Property Selection offers a choice of top quality villas with more in depth descriptions and additional photographs.
The property finding service has been set up to assist a wider range of clients from a wider range of countries. If our existing portfolio doesn't have what you desire, then we will search the databases of our associates to find the property for you. No charge, it's all part of the service we offer.
For clients looking to sell their properties, we offer a full valuation and advice service. Your property will be advertised on various well known international websites, as well as our own and those of our associates. With regular adverts in local newspapers as well as other publications, we take the time to ensure that your property receives as much attention as possible. To enable it to be sold as quickly as possible.
Whether buying or selling you can be assured that a high percentage of our business comes from referrals, which speaks for itself. If our clients are happy they will recommend us to their friends and acquaintances. We rely on our good reputation as a reliable and honest company and believe that the service we provide is second to none.
Land Grab Laws In Spain - How to Protect Your Purchase
Molino Villas Costa Blanca SL can now offer title deed insurance which will cover against any problems that may arise from both the Land Grab Law and any other issue that may arise in the future related to the legality and documentation for your property. That said, we believe that with the right legal advice and a good solicitor working for you, it should never be an issue for you to consider.
Majority of the properties we have are located on urbanised land, therefore the Land Grab Law does not apply. Where a property is in an area which could become subject to this Law, we would advise you accordingly. We can recommend suitable Spanish solicitors or you can choose your own. We will always work in conjunction with them to provide a stress free service.
Over recent years there has been a lot of negative publicity in the British press with regard to Land Grab in the Valencian region. Whilst this publicity has highlighted an issue that needs to be addressed, the majority of coverage has not been particularly helpful or informative. The LRAU Law was brought in during 1994 with the intention of facilitating property development and providing, at the time, much needed additional housing at a reasonable price. Over the years this Law has been abused by some developers, which has caused the problems.
One of the main issues of this Law related to land classification. There are 3 types of classification in Spain. Already urbanised land, land suitable for urbanisation and rural land. As in any country, including the UK, when a particular area grows the rural land can be reclassified by the authorities for development. When the law was introduced in Spain, it included clauses to prevent individual owners of rural properties standing in the way of development that would benefit the local area and improve services. It was also felt that they should contribute with cash or a small part of their land, towards the additional benefits they would receive i.e. mains water, electricity, new roads, sewerage etc, even though they may not particularly want these services.
Each Region has some responsibility for drawing up its own laws and in the Valencian region the LRAU was badly drafted. This allowed a small number of developers and local authorities to use a loophole against the interests of property owners.
The LRAU was replaced by the LUV, which was a modified version and has attempted to close the loopholes. The European Union has since said that this replacement law should be abolished and is currently in the process of talking to the Spanish government to achieve this.
When you are looking to purchase any property, our advice would always be to ask questions of the agent when you view a property that you might consider purchasing and always take good legal advice. If you are still not too sure, ask us about Title Deed Insurance. For a single premium you could be covered for however long you own your property.
