Some frequently asked questions
What is the cost for the inspection trip?
You only pay for the cost of the flights. Transport, quality accommodation, food and drinks are paid for by us. You can book your own flights or we can book them for you. As guests of Gus Robinson you will stay in the La Zenia 4* Hotel. During your trip you will be taken to a variety of local restaurants to sample the rich and varied cuisine, and whilst in the company of our representative enjoyable subsistence will be provided.
How does the visit work?
We guarantee that your trip will be on a one-to-one basis. This means that each client will have the undivided attention of one of our friendly and knowledgeable consultants, who will also chauffeur you around the area. You will not be part of a large coach group, wasting time seeing areas and properties that are of no interest to you. This means your entire trip is tailored to suit your requirements, not someone else's. During your stay you will be shown all the properties of interest to you. Your own personal sales consultant will also show you all the areas and amenities available in each area, and anything else that we think may be of interest to you.
What is the itinerary?
This varies as each trip is truly individual. The itinerary is flexible to suit your requirements. Generally speaking, we would pick you up from the airport and take you to your accommodation. In the mornings we start at 10 on our inspection of the area and properties. At 2 we break for lunch at a local restaurant. Further inspection of properties will commence at around 4 when siesta ends. Evenings are left open. We find that most people like to have evenings to themselves to discuss what they have seen during the day, and also to enjoy themselves. (You are in Spain after all!) However, our staff are always on call should you wish to discuss anything, or have them with you.
Usually, our clients find their dream home on the second or third day of a trip (although it has been known to happen on the first!) so the final day will be spent making reservations and discussing contracts. We will then take you to the airport, and arrange the rest for you.
Do I have to go for 3 nights and 4 days?
No. We have flexible arrangements to suit your personal circumstances, as flights leave everyday from several UK airports. Our inspection trips are usually for 3 nights and 4 days, but can be condensed provided it is understood that a shorter trip may be quite tiring. It is not ideal to plan a trip over a weekend as most offices open only half day Saturday and close on Sunday.
Will we have enough time to see all of the properties and areas?
It is just as important for us as it is you, that you are shown everything possible to enable you to make a fully informed decision. If you see a particular property you like, just ask to stop and see the local facilities and attractions. If you don't like a particular area or property, simply say so and we'll carry on to the next. If you want to go back and look at a property again, just ask.
What finances do I need in place to be able to buy a "New Build" property?
Prior to departing for a viewing trip, please ensure that you have arrangements in place to pay at least 30% of the purchase price, this being the sum of money required by most developers within one month of your visit to Spain
What finances do I need in place to be able to buy a "Re-Sale" Property?
Prior to departing for a viewing trip, please ensure that you have arrangements in place to fund 100% of the purchase price of any re-sale property. This can be from savings or mortgage arrangements. When you have paid your deposit the property owner is then excluded from accepting any other offers. Resale completion dates are usually 1 month after an agreement to purchase, though in practice can be flexible if suitable to both parties.
I want to visit the area but am not in a position to purchase, what are the alternatives?
If you are not sure whether you would like to purchase a property, we suggest you take a Fact-Finding Trip. In this case you take care of the travel arrangements and spend a short holiday in the area. During your trip you can spend a day or two with a member of our team to have a look at the properties available.
We can help you to book accommodation at our discounted rate and although there is absolutely no obligation to buy a property, if you do go on to do so we will refund these costs.
