inspection trips -

Your questions answered with regard to viewing trips

If I don’t go on an inspection visit, will you still show me homes?
Yes, we would love to. Our staff will either collect you from your accommodation or you can visit our office. Ideally allow two days with our staff to enable you to visit all the properties that fit your requirements.

How much do inspection trips cost?
You only pay for the cost of the flights(unless we are running a special offer). Transport, quality hotel accommodation, food and non-alcoholic drinks are paid for by us. You can book your own flights or we can book them for you.

How does the visit work?
We guarantee that your trip will be on a one-to-one basis. This means that each client/s will have the undivided attention of one of our friendly and knowledgeable consultants, who will also chauffeur you around the area. You will not be part of a large coach group, wasting time seeing areas and properties that are of no interest to you.
This means your entire trip is tailored to suit your requirements.....not someone else.

Where do we stay and eat whilst on a visit?
As guests of Dream Living you will stay in one of the best hotels the area has to offer (one twin or double room) for 3 nights on a bed and breakfast basis, courtesy of Dream Living. During the daytime and evenings you will be taken to local restaurants. Whilst in the company of our representative, all your food and beverages will be included. During your four days stay you will be shown all the properties in our brochure of interest to you, plus any others not in our brochure. Your own personal sales consultant will also show you all the areas and amenities available in each area, and anything else that is of interest to you.

What is the itinerary?
This varies as each trip is truly individual. The itinerary is flexible to suit your requirements. Generally though a visit will be conducted as follows:

First Day: Arrive at Alicante Airport. Meet Dream Living representative, taken to hotel. Discussion with representative to answer any questions and confirm your property type preferences. Inspection of area and properties, lunch at local restaurant, further inspection of properties in afternoon. Evening dinner.

Second Day: Breakfast at hotel. Inspect area and properties. Lunch at local restaurant, further inspection of properties and area. Evening dinner.

Third Day: Breakfast at hotel, re-inspection of properties, lunch at local restaurant. Afternoon further inspection of properties or discussions regarding reservations and contracts, (if suitable property found). Evening dinner.

Fourth Day: Breakfast at hotel. Depart for airport (if early flight), or continuation of inspection of properties or discussions regarding reservations and contracts, (if suitable property found).

Do I have to go for 3 nights and 4 days?
No. We have flexible arrangements to suit your personal circumstances, our inspection flights leave everyday from most major UK airports. Our inspection trips are usually for 3 nights and 4 days, but can be condensed to 1 or 2 days provided it is understood that a shorter trip may be quite tiring.

Will we have enough time to see all of the properties and areas?
Please do not concern yourself that you may not have enough time to see all the properties and areas. It is just as important for us, as it is you, that you are shown everything to enable you to make an informed decision whether you wish to purchase or not. You will have your very own personal consultant and car to chauffeur you to all the properties, and are therefore in complete control of your itinerary. See a particular property you like, just ask our consultant to stop and show you the local facilities and attractions. Don't like a particular area or property, simply carry on driving to the next area or property, want to go back and look at a property again, just ask.

Can I view new properties and resale properties on the same trip?
Yes. Our trips are tailored to your needs. If you would like to view both, we can show you both. Please, however, be aware of the requirements listed below.

What finances do I need in place to be able to buy a "New Build" property?
Prior to departing for a viewing trip, please ensure that you have arrangements in place to pay 50% of any “New Build” purchase price. This being the sum of money required by any Builder/Developer within 30 days of your visit to Spain.
When you have paid your £2,000 deposit, the property of your choice will be removed from the market and the price fixed to safeguard against any price increases. At this stage the Builder/Developer will require you to provide confirmation of your funding arrangements.

What finances do I need in place to be able to buy a "Re-Sale" Property?
Prior to departing for a viewing trip, please ensure that you have arrangements in place to fund 100% of the purchase price of any re-sale property. This being the sum of money required by the property owner within 30 days of your visit to Spain. When you have paid your deposit of £2,000, the property owner is then excluded from accepting any other offers. Resale completion dates are usually 30 days after any agreement to purchase, though in practice can be brought forward if suitable to both parties.

We're not in a position to purchase, but we still want to visit the area… what are the alternatives?
We would suggest you book a holiday flying into Alicante or Murcia, and book yourself a hire car as well. You could visit www.carjet.com to arrange cheap car hire. This will give you complete freedom of movement, allowing you to visit cities, towns and villages, whilst talking to people and seeing if you like the area. Once you have decided which area is for you and subsequently are in a position to purchase we would be delighted to host you on one of our individual trips.
