How to Reserve Your Property in Mijas Costa: A Quick Guide
In this quick two-minute video, Keith and Sophia walk you through the simple process of reserving your dream property in Mijas Costa. Once you’ve found the property and agreed on the price with the seller, the next step is to secure it by paying a deposit.
Keith explains that your real estate agent will prepare a reservation document that includes essential details like the property address, price, and completion timelines. After signing the document, you’ll typically be asked to pay a security deposit, usually between €6,000 and €10,000 depending on the property’s value.
While the deposit can be paid directly to the vendor, Keith recommends paying it into your lawyer’s client account first. This ensures that the due diligence process can be completed before the funds are transferred. Once the vendor signs the reservation document, the property is officially reserved and taken off the market.
This simple, secure process ensures that you’re one step closer to owning your property in Mijas Costa!
