Autodraw
As soon as you own the property formally, we will create automatic drawdowns on electricity, water, joint expenses, insurance, property tax, renovation etc. from your bank account in Spain.
Check of residence
When the developer reports that the house is ready for takeover, we travel to the residence for inspection. If we find faults or defects, we report to the developer and get it fixed.
Final payment will not be made until the property has been approved by us.
Excess / Formal Takeover
We meet with the notary on your behalf, take over the property and receive the temporary deed. From this day you own the home and can come down to Spain to use your home for the first time.
