We were thinking about calling this post "Why the seller DGAF about your plans" but decided it was a bit on the nose. Instead we decided to put together some thoughts about why there are certain things you shouldn't do on your Valencia Property visit because if you do you might not get the property for the price you want it. 

As a buyers' agent we try to get you the best deal possible after whittling down the options to the best places for you so you don't want any owner telling us "I'm not selling my property to them even if they offered me millions". Sounds far fetched but it has happened.

Everyone who buys a property in Valencia, and indeed everyone who buys a property in Spain, requires a NIE number in order to complete their purchase. You can come and look at properties without one, you can make a deposit on a place you want to buy without one, but in order to complete your purchase you'll need a NIE number. Therefore one of the questions we are always asked is "how do I get a NIE number?" and one of the statements people make online all the time is "I can't get an appointment to get a NIE number in Valencia!" We have written about this previously and the article we send to people about it is still relevant but it was written in 2018 so everyone asks is it still true.

The answer of course is yes. It is still relevant but today it's time to update the article for the mid 2020's. Here we go then, how to get your NIE in Valencia*.

Valencia can be hot and sticky in the summer due to its altitude, basically there isn’t any, almost anywhere, and humidity can be an issue not just for people and pets, but also for buildings and particularly for cement.

At the height of the construction boom in the 60s and 70s a certain type of cement was widely employed in Spain, a kind of Loctite SuperGlue of the cement world that set in 7 days instead of the usual 21, very handy when people were flocking from rural Spain to the coasts for employment and looking for a new future with young families. Folks need homes, let’s build them triple quick, and so they did. Now this was a widespread practice throughout the country that rarely had any repercussions but that pesky humidity coupled with salinity in the atmosphere turned out to be this particular cement’s Kryptonite. Over the years, and now and again ,we find an apartment in one of these buildings and usually it’s a deal breaker but in this particular property the building has undergone extensive renovation and reinforcement and has passed its exams with flying colours. We have a very extensive report from the architects and the Technical and Final Work Report are available for anyone who cares to read 66 pages of them. (Pro Tip, ask a professional to give you the all clear)

So, 1 apartment on the 2nd floor, split into 3 studio units, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, 3 Kitchens and sold as seen in the photos with a very good ROI indeed. At the moment there are tenants, paying a pretty penny until June 2025, and when it’s time for them to go you can remove some partition walls and enjoy the place yourself. Or keep as is for each family or friend to enjoy their own space, or ask the team at Stepping Stones Rentals to milk that cash cow for all its worth. A world of options.

So now you know something else about property in Spain, and certainly about property on the Mediterranean, armed with that knowledge the next step is up to you.

Nestled in the hills but just a short stroll down for a day on the beach we find this lovely looking Multi Storey Town House that could tick every single box on your wish list. It is also totally renovated and in pristine condition for you to enjoy from Day 1 of your new life in Spain.

This place has everything you could ever need and the stats are impressive, Living Space and Kitchen with Bathroom on the ground floor, moving up to 3 Double Bedrooms and 2 more Bathrooms, up one more for a large Lounge area with the main Kitchen, sea view Terrace and shady Garden to the rear, then finally the rooftop terrace for even better views, barbecue area and plenty of room to dine al fresco with back slapping all round for being a gracious host, great cook, living legend and for making such a wonderful purchase that your family and friends will enjoy for years to come.

Cullera offers extraordinary value when compared with the likes of Denia, Javea and Moraira and it’s also a lot closer to Valencia, so yeah, we like it, and you probably should take a good look when searching for the ideal holiday home or permanent residence.

Set on a pedestrian street in the very heart of Ruzafa, this is a nice little 2nd floor walk up apartment.

Rented out until recently (1k PCM) it is perfectly useable as is, but a bit of modernisation and TLC would go a long way. Keen cooks might want a new kitchen, aesthetic types can recover the vaulted ceilings and midnight micturators might prefer an ensuite bathroom. Something for everyone here i think you’ll agree.

Nice potential with great character, a compact and cute space with interesting possibilities that provides you the chance to own a little piece of Ruzafa and great for its rental potential, which has gone mental in central, Valencia.

Today we have peace and tranquillity and a slick modern build on the Torre en Conill Urbanisation, close to the CV-35, Betera, L’Eliana, any number of International Schools and even closer to the very exclusive Scorpion Golf Course, if you’re the kind of guy who likes to spoil a good walk or mix business and pleasure on the fairways. Comfort slacks, crosshatch combovers and general crazy talk are optional.

This spacious, bright, and comfortable home is ideal for all comers, the active young family looking for easy living, the retiree looking to relax and unwind, high flying Boomers who like to entertain or anyone who just wants outside space and a modern low maintenance home.

A Three Level Villa home with numerous terraces, Four Bedrooms, Four Bathrooms, a nice Open Plan Living Space with excellent Kitchen, leading to a dining area and private garden with a great swimming pool for all those guests.

Time to escape the madness, wherever you are, and join the privileged few who put down some roots in Valencia.

A secret listing here that we’re not shouting from the rooftops in fear of breaking the website with the number of enquiries we are likely to receive, blink and you’ll miss it for this good investment in an interesting part of the city.

Interesting for its proximity to public transport and the Avenida del Cid just a 5 minute walk, the nearby General Hospital for Doctor/Nurse type tenants, the Gran Turia Shopping Centre and a solid neighbourhood, and whilst not the prettiest of zones, close to the V·30 Ring road and always in demand, by the young and upwardly mobile.

You are one of the lucky few to see those wonderfully wonky portrait photos from the owner and this private listing We've got your back ;)
