let me out of my spanish property nightmare

A helping guide to help people with the disposal and sale of spanish properties

18 Months trying to sell my Alicante appartment
Thursday, June 3, 2010 @ 4:12 PM

 Hi,

 

I have spent 18 months trying to sell my 2 bed in Alicante but their seems to be thousands like this for sale at any given time.  I had the same issue withmy property in Bulgaria and between advertising and estate agents my nest egg was dwindling.  2years I tried to sell them myself.  As a last resort I turned to using the less mainstream methods and finally found one that worked for me.  I paid a company 50 euros a month to advertise and market my properties to eastern countries such as Russia and bulgaria and 4 months later hey presto I got shut of them.  Now I am hoping they can do the same for my Alicante nightmare.

The company is appreciating assets but I will let you make up your own mind as the above is just my own personal experience.

 

Regards and best wishes

If it's been on the market for 18 months, surely it's time to reduce the price? The stuff that's selling near me is the stuff that has been drastically reduced in price, mainly the bank repos.

Hi,
Hi there Dave. I have already reduced them by 40% and I think I am being realistic with that reduction. Maybe another 10% will do it but even at that there arent many buyers in the market. I am hoping the Russian market will provide the key and am willing to cut my losses and run.

Thanks for the comment

Used that company, they got me a deal. Russians bought my bulgarian property but takes time. 5 months to sell
