IBEREASY: Spanish real estate adapted to suit foreigners
Ibericity, specialist in real estate services, has launched a
third service. IBEREASY ensures real-estate purchases for every
foreigner wanting to invest in Spain or live on the
Mediterranean coast.
The Spanish real-estate market has been growing for some years.
According to INSE (National Institute for Statistics in Spain),
more than one and a half million foreigners are interested in
investing in Spanish real-estate in the next 5 years. The
Spanish climate, the moderate prices and the lifestyle attract
good investors. Ibericity opens Spain's doors to the foreign
investors.
HOW TO INVEST?
At this prosperous time for Spain's tourist industry, and
especially that of the Valencian Community, "IBERICITY aims to
be the point of reference to foreign investors by providing them
with a full service" Frederic GIRAUD, chief of the company, told
us. More and more foreigners, notably the English, Irish and
Germans, are exploring the Iberian coastline in search of
accommodation to invest in, to live in, to earn an extra income
from and as a place to go on holiday. The Spanish real-estate
market isn't an easy one for foreigners to crack. Moreover,
understanding the various administrative acts in the country's
own language can be synonymous to a headache. IBERICITY gives
those investors a helping hand with its new service IBEREASY
which takes the client through the whole procedure in their own
language. All the way from acquiring a real estate property
through to managing it, they offer the investor a safe and
effective support base.
SERVICE'S ORIGIN...
The company's chief, Frederic GIRAUD, wanted to move to Spain.
He went to a myriad of real-estate agencies and encountered
numerous difficulties. He analysed the different problems
relating to buying a real-estate property in Spain:
understanding the language, knowing Spanish regulation on
real-estate and local practice. Frederic tells us: "Having been
confronted with these problems directly, and despite my level of
Spanish, I decided that it would be both interesting and
appealing to create such a service." It is thus, having his own
knowledge of the causes, that he proposes a helpful solution to
purchasing property in Valencia.
IBERICITY acts and grows in collaboration with and complimentary
to its public and private partners. The society is organised, at
present, in 4 poles of expertise: IberiSearch: a property
hunting service in the Community of Valencia including a
simulation of the buying process consisting of : a search for a
real-estate property following the client's preferences; a
hypothetical analysis of the project with simulated
investigations and propositions; visits to the selected
properties; redefining any research; giving advice -
explanations of possible negotiations - advising about taxes and
administrative aid, through to the simulation of the signing the
deeds; IberEasy: a service accompanying the purchase system when
the property is definitely chosen, involving the application of
all simulation carried out by the IberiSearch service concerning
the selected property; IberiCityrent: a rent management service
for the acquired properties: Accommodation Valencia: an
apartment rental service for short term stays in the city of
Valencia; Accommodation Valencia2007: an apartment rental
service for mid-term stays during the America's Cup.
To perform its mission, IBERICITY will soon improve its range of
services with, for example, IBERIMONEY, a service offering help
and support during the process of obtaining a real-estate loan.
