Asturias property searching and buying tips
- Prices will be in euros when listing houses in Asturias (or Spain), so convert to pounds Stirling, US, Canadian or Australian dollars etc using the current exchange rate.
- Check the location (e.g. isolated, near a city, etc) of the Asturian properties that you are interested in. If a house looks very cheap it may be in the middle of nowhere. Asturia and Spain are beautiful, but soem areas can be isolated.
- Do not enter in to any kind of house purchase agreement until you have taken legal advice, the property purchasing system in Spain is very different to most other parts of the world.
- Remember that in addition to the cost of a house or property in Asturias there will be duties, taxes and fees to pay.
- Always try to get advice in the language of your native tongue and do not consider “notaries” to be independent. In their case, “independent” has a different meaning to what you might expect.
