Real Estate Expert Reveals 3 Critical Checks to Avoid Homebuying Disasters
Madrid, Spain – A recent online video by real estate expert Javier Solís (javiersolis_inmo) has garnered significant attention, offering crucial advice for prospective homebuyers. Solís outlines three critical steps buyers should undertake to avoid potential financial pitfalls and future headaches. First, Solís strongly advises checking for urban planning affectations. "Normally, real estate agencies request a simple note, but very few verify if the property has an affectation," Solís states in the video. He warns that a property could be designated for demolition, a detail that can be confirmed by contacting the municipal architect at the local council. Secondly, Solís recommends having a qualified architect thoroughly inspect the property's condition. While a building may have passed its Technical Building Inspection (ITE), Solís explains, "It is still only a visual inspection. An architect can tell you which installations, like water and electricity, will need changing first." Detecting these issues early can save thousands of euros in unexpected repair costs. Finally, Solís stresses the importance of requesting the community meeting minutes. He notes that sellers or agencies might offer excuses, but buyers have a right to view these documents. "There you'll find everything: for example, neighbors who haven't paid for years, neighbors involved in illicit activities, or possible large-scale repairs that are not yet approved but are on the verge of approval, costing tens of thousands of euros," Solís explains. He concludes by emphasizing that "your and your family's peace of mind is priceless." The video's practical, actionable advice has resonated with a broad audience, highlighting common oversights in the property buying process.
