Tecnocasa Torre del Mar

Tecnocasa Torre del Mar is the local branch of a national network, on Avenida de Andalucía. It sells and lets homes and offers financing through the group, which is the practical difference between a franchise office and an independent one.

It holds a 4.8 over 93 reviews. Branch offices of large networks often score lower than local agencies because the brand carries expectations the branch has to live up to, so this is a good figure in its category.

What a foreign buyer needs before any mortgage

Two things, and both take longer than people expect. A NIE, the foreigner identification number, without which you cannot buy, open an account or pay tax here. And a Spanish bank account, because the notary will want banker's cheques on the day. Start both the moment you are serious about a property, not when the deal is agreed, because the appointment queue is the part of the process nobody can speed up for you.
