We are a couple of residents in Denmark who have been on a cycling holiday in Mallorca, among other places, for a number of years. We started in June 2021 considering the possibility of buying real estate on just Mallorca as we do not think we are getting tired of this amazing island.
We initially started looking for housing ads on the internet and quickly found out that it is somewhat different than in Denmark. The same home can be for sale at several real estate agents and at different prices. We went on summer vacation in July 2021 and had selected some homes that we would inspect. Nor was it without challenges. We are not Spanish speaking and some real estate agents do not have staff who can speak English, so it was difficult for us to communicate with them. We also had other challenges, as a house that we had fallen for did not have the papers in order, which means that it was only registered with 45 sqm., Even though the house was and was advertised with a living area of 135 sqm. It was purely coincidental that we found out.
We were close to reconsidering whether we dared to embark on a housing project in Spain until we got in touch with homes-abroad.com
After a conversation with Christian Boesen (director and founder), we already felt in safe hands, and then the process started. We were referred to Bitten Munch Larholm, who is area manager in Mallorca.
Bitten contacted us and after a pleasant conversation, we were asked to send an email with information about our wishes for our future home as well as a financial framework. Bitten set about finding interesting topics, just as we ourselves kept an eye on what was and came on the market. At the beginning of October 2021, we went to Mallorca, where we first had to inspect a couple of homes with Bitten. It was fine townhouses, but there was too much we wanted to change, so the hunt continued.
Throughout the process, Bitten has provided a service that goes far beyond the usual. It has been possible to get hold of Bitten every day of the week, and she has arranged inspections on weekends, where both Bitten, and the real estate agents otherwise had time off. This to accommodate us. Bitten has thoroughly informed us about real estate dealing in Spain, just as she has recommended us a really skilled lawyer who has taken care of our interest in the best way.
Today we are the happiest owners of an idyllic townhouse in Campanet, Mallorca. Without Bitten’s help, we would never have gotten hold of that house, nor at that price. Here, Bitten was also absolutely fantastic at negotiating the price on our behalf.
We have experienced a very committed and professional assistance in regard to our home purchase in Mallorca, Spain.
If you go with the idea of buying real estate in Spain, we can only give homes-abroad.com our best recommendations.
Yours,
Jette and Torben
