costa blanca
The Costa Blanca is undoubtedly a unique place. The section of the coast of the Valencian community from the city of Gandia in the north to the southern border of the community, which runs between Torrevieja and San Javier, was called the Costa Blanca, which means “White Coast”. North of Alicante, the capital of the province of the same name, nature is a mountainous landscape, rocky coastline punctuated by romantic coves.
The Costa Blanca is a 200-meter coastline in the province of Alicante, where the average annual air temperature is around 20 degrees and the sun shines for more than 300 days a year. More than 70 beaches have been awarded the EU Blue Flag for quality and service, there are 14 ports and marinas, which is also the hallmark of the coast. We briefly list the main advantages of living and relaxing on the Costa Blanca:

FAQ
Legal support of the purchase and sale transaction at the notary.
The first thing to do is to check that the property is without any encumbrances. The buyer must be sure that the housing he buys has no debts, is not pledged, is executed and registered in accordance with the law. You need to get information from the Nota Simple property register (this is an extract from the property register in which you can see the general data on the object). Verification of ownership, whether the property really belongs to the seller with whom you conclude a contract. Compliance of the square meters of the object with what is indicated in the documents, the legality of building a house, the presence of encumbrances (for example, collateral for a mortgage), the presence of debts to tax authorities, utilities, banks. If there are any encumbrances on the object, then the seller must pay off the debt on them. The buyer receives a clean, unencumbered object. The period between the signing of the preliminary sale and purchase agreement and the final implementation of the transaction is about 2 months.
The procedure for signing the contract takes place in a notary's office and is certified by a notary. Immediately after signing the contract, the buyer receives a copy of the notary contract and he becomes the new owner of the property.
