Let me introduce myself.

Michelle_the_Property_Advisor Hello, my name is Michelle Maria and I am English. I was born in Manchester.

I moved to Spain when I was twenty, so I have now lived half my life in Spain. I have been involved in the property business for most of that. I got married to a Spanish man here, bought some land, built a house, painted it, furnished it, extended it and had three children in between! I will tell you everything I know following my own personal experience.

In October 2006, I decided to make an informative website of independent, unbiased information for the English speaking community about property in Spain. I wanted to provide information before, during and after the sale of property.

I have made a selection of Spain’s best professionals that may be needed before the sale; real estate agents, solicitors, mortgage brokers etc. During the sale; translators, construction companies etc. and after the sale; swimming pool specialists, air conditioning installers, plumbers etc.

I will personally recommend:
Free Spanish Property guideQualified Real Estate Agents in Spain
Free Spanish Property guideIndependent English speaking, local lawyers
Free Spanish Property guideMortgage brokers
Free Spanish Property guideInsurance brokers
Free Spanish Property guideCurrency exchange brokers
Free Spanish Property guideValuation companies
Free Spanish Property guideBuilding surveyors
Free Spanish Property guideProfessional services for your new home: such as –
decorators,furnishing firms, painters, builders, plumbers etc.

Information about all these companies can be found on this website. I do not sell property in Spain or work for any of these companies, so all the advice offered is unbiased. This expert information is free.

Buying property in Spain can be a risky business. Do not take unnecessary risks and only deal with trusted professionals.

Update: May 2007 Introducing Katrina Bradley and the team.

It is with great pleasure I have joined Michelle and her team at the Independent Spanish Property guide website. With our extensive and successful personal property portfolio we decided it would be a fantastic idea to help normal people like ourselves get their feet on the property ladder in Spain and now Morocco as well. We can help with recommending agencies, lawyers, translators and just about anything needed to guide you in the right direction to your first property purchase abroad. My personal strength lies in the fact that I am married to a Spanish man and went on to have and rear my children in the Spanish community. I work and live with Spanish ethics and a profound understanding of what it's really like to live in Spain.

Personally I have been here for almost thirty years and do NOT intend going anywhere else. Whatever information we provide, you can be assured it is the same recommendations that we have made to our own families and friends who trusted us with their hard earned cash, enabling them to achieve the best possible investments within their budget.

Unlike large corporate companies who have thousands of clients, we are a small friendly team treating everyone as an individual with your own special requirements, and we shall certainly go the extra mile to ensure you are treated with the utmost respect and integrity. We shall work hard to provide the service we believe that everyone who is interested in property investments abroad deserves.
