Property Magic

☀️ Are you a fan of TV's ‘A PLACE IN THE SUN’? ☀️

Are you looking to buy a Spanish property by the sea?

Property Magic can reproduce the format of this popular TV show for YOU (without the cameras), completely FREE!!!

Whether you’re looking for a holiday home, a place to retire to, or you’re part of the growing movement to relocate your family away from the city and work remotely, we’ve got you covered.

Send us your requirements (area, must-haves, and of course budget) and we’ll go to work on your behalf using our 20+ years of local experience, our extensive network of local property professionals and a variety of powerful search tools to find you the BEST properties from not just ONE local agent, but ALL of them!

We'll send you a list of 20+ local properties that meet your requirements, and you simply eliminate the ones that don’t give you that WOW factor. When you’re down to your favourite 5 or so properties we will arrange a 3D virtual tour so that you can see them in person in your own time, or we can arrange a live video tour from the comfort of home.

When you find that magical place that sweeps you off your feet, hop on a plane to come and see it in person* (we'll meet you and take you to see any or all of the properties that have caught your eye) and if you decide to make an offer, we will help you through the negotiation phase to help you secure the deal at the best price - it’s that simple!

HOW CAN WE OFFER THIS SERVICE FOR FREE??

We share the commission that sellers pay to their agent (we earn the same fixed commission from all agents, so there’s no favouritism), so we get paid indirectly by the seller, not by you. However we represent YOU - the buyer - exclusively; the sales agent is there to represent the seller.

* We are not affiliated with 'A Place In The Sun' or Channel 4 in any way. We are property brokers, connecting buyers with sellers. Please allow an additional 12.5% over the final agreed purchase price of your chosen property to cover necessary taxes, notary fees, and land registry fees. We aren’t qualified to provide legal or financial advice, but we can connect you with suitably experienced English-speaking legal professionals who will protect your interests and carry out due diligence on your behalf prior to purchase. Although our property service is FREE to buyers, the costs of flights, accommodation and any other expenses during the buying process are NOT included.

Discover how we can help YOU find your dream home in the sun - just send us a message or call +34 660 638 975... come and be our star!!!

Sellers have ALL the fun... they get motivated property agents who represent THEIR interests, push property sales through their shop windows, online portals and websites, and get assistance with things like notaries, lawyers, and even movers...

But what about BUYERS?

Buyers have to do all their own research and legwork, meet agents who always represent the interests of the SELLERS (not them), and have to do all their own due diligence, either on their own or with the help of a Spanish lawyer, who may work to a different standard than what you're used to in the UK.

PROPERTY MAGIC is different...

We represent BUYERS, not sellers. We find you the properties and help you shortlist the best ones - not just from one agent, but from all of them! We speak to the agents on the ground on your behalf. We arrange viewings, contracts, deposits, lawyers, builders (if buying a property to reform), utilities, swimming pools - even gardeners, pool men, locksmiths and more!

With over 20 years of experience living and working on Spain's sunny northern costa Blanca, we can hold your hand through the entire buying process – from getting your dreams down on paper to finding properties that match them, from negotiating offers to arranging the legal side of things, to (hopefully) celebrating with you at your housewarming party!

BEST OF ALL, OUR SERVICES ARE COMPLETELY FREE!!!

We negotiate with the agents representing the sellers to share their commission. They supply properties, we supply buyers. It's that simple.

So what are you waiting for?? Make 2023 the year that you finally realise your dreams of owning a Spanish home in the sun!

Contact us via the comments below this post, or privately via Facebook messenger. You can also send a WhatsApp to +34 660 638 975, and get the ball rolling!

WHAT MAKES A GREAT PROPERTY INVESTMENT DEAL?

When we source property deals for investors, we have several criteria in mind which establish good foundations for a great deal:

1. Equity from day 1 - if we can source properties at prices BELOW what they’re worth (using a variety of pricing tools and sources), then investors have INSTANT equity in their deal.
For example if a property is worth €400k but we can get the owner to agree to sell for €350k (which they may do for a variety of good reasons), we’ve just made you €50,000. You could re-list and sell the property tomorrow without having done a thing to it, and gain an extra €50,000. That ALONE is worth our sourcing fee, many times over!

2. High rental demand - investing for a long term increase in value (capital gain) is one thing, but the right property should not only cover its own expenses (taxes, bills, mortgage, etc) but also put extra money in your pocket each and every month while you own it, too - this is why we only look to invest in properties in areas of high rental demand. Savvy investors look for ASSETS, not liabilities which slowly drain your resources.

3. Cashflow is KING - as mentioned above, a property should PAY you each month, not COST you money to own. Investing ONLY for capital gain *isn’t* really investing, its speculating. We’re investors. We look to make a return on our outlay from the very beginning. Capital appreciation (where a property you own sells for more than you paid for it) is a welcome bonus, but it shouldn’t be your only goal. All property deals we sell will generate POSITIVE cashflow, ie the numbers have been crunched for you, and the result is ALWAYS positive cashflow! If the numbers don’t add up, we don’t recommend or sell the deal.

4. Ability to add value - buying a brand-new shiny house or apartment can be very appealing, but it *severely* restricts your ability to increase the value of the property. However buying a dated, run down or unloved property for a great price and then adding value by improving the appearance and function (eg adding an extra attic bedroom) nearly always pays off. A €30k investment in a property uplift can often pay back double or even TRIPLE your cost. We buy properties with a FORMULA, not with emotions. The smart investor doesn’t look at buying homes, they look to buy a PROJECT. With the right teams in place to transform the property from delapidated to desirable, there are HUGE financial gains to be made - plus you’re also lifting the image (aka value) of the area as a whole, not just your own property!

5. Low investment cost - if you can get into a deal with a low investment cost (eg a high mortgage percentage, or another creative strategy such as a rent-to-buy), it impacts your wallet less but gives you the same opportunities to make money via monthly cashflow and eventual capital appreciation. We NEVER advise buying for cash, even if you have millions in the bank. Sit down for a one-to-one discussion with us to find out why!

6. High ROI - your return on investment is crucial as a potential property investor - you’re in this for profit, after all. ROI is calculated as:

Annual profit
———————- x 100
Investment cost

This can be a complicated topic all on its own, but rest assured that when we look for property deals for investors, we look for a good ROI as part of our wider search criteria.

A year on, and this is still the BEST piece of tech I have bought for my own Jávea holiday rental apartment, by far. It’s part security alarm, part party alarm, and monitors movement, noise, temperature, humidity, and even over-occupancy of your place – a simply amazing device that’s both stylish and discreet, looking like a simple smoke alarm... it even provides a motion-activated night light for your guests, when they’re looking for the bathroom!

If you have any questions, please get in touch. I’m a genuine buyer and user of this product, and I don’t work for the company - but I was so impressed, I became a promoter. So if you want one too, go to Minut.com and use my code BILL20 to get 20% off yours!

Welcome to holiday rentals without all the worry.

NOW SOLD - thanks for your interest!

🔥 EXCLUSIVE TO PROPERTY MAGIC 🔥

3 beds, 1 bath. 115m² built, 1627m² plot.
Location: Lesterps, Charente, France

A rare opportunity to own a slice of French heaven at offers around €147k (£128k), plus notary fees. All other fees are included.

This charming 3-bed country pavilion farmhouse is nestled in the unspoiled Charente countryside, and provides the perfect getaway from it all... tranquility and privacy (as well as plenty of sunshine) are included at no extra cost. Rolling hills, woodland and stunning lakes make this an area of outstanding natural beauty, as well as providing excellent walking, fishing and landscape painting opportunities.

A large gated driveway with ample parking leads to the house which is south facing, with the living quarters conveniently built above a usable full-size ‘sous-sol’ basement featuring a garage, workshop and wine cellar (which could be converted into extra living accommodation if required). Internal stairs connect the basement level to the living quarters above. The property is ready to move into, and comes with indoor & outdoor furniture and other useful items (ride-on lawnmower, etc) included in the price.

The home features a large lounge with marble fireplace and patio doors leading to a balcony which overlooks the beautiful local countryside, an open kitchen diner, 3 bedrooms, and a full bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle, as well as an over-bath shower, wash basin and bidet. The toilet is separate. An oil-fired boiler in the basement provides warm-air heating throughout for those colder winter months. The beautiful views through every window remind you that you’re in a very special place. Some cosmetic updating is necessary and would also boost value, hence this is already reflected in the sale price (and reasonable lower offers may be considered). This would be *ideal* as a permanent change of pace, a holiday home, or even as a savvy rental investment.

The ample garden boasts mature trees along its border for shade, lawns, a rockery and shrubs, and terraces to make the most of the sun and spectacular views - and the pièce-de-résistance is a large 10x5m swimming pool (with cover). Two friendly neighbours (French and English) live nearby. Mobile phone and internet reception are both good.

The charming little village of Lesterps is just 1.5km away and features a lovely restaurant and shop for that morning baguette, a boulangerie (bakery) and charcuterie (butcher), an 11th century church and a museum of local history. The nearest airports are Limoges (40 mins) and Poitier (60 mins). Slightly further away is the village of Brillac, which also has some amenities. The nearest town is Confolens, which is both stunningly picturesque and useful, with an array of shops, hotels, banks and restaurants. The beautiful town of St Junien is also not far away and provides two hospitals, large supermarkets, as well as more shops, bars and restaurants. There’s plenty to explore and do in the area, and the locals are warm and friendly.

Viewing is by appointment only.
