We welcome investors seeking to invest in Valencia property, and we are more than happy to join forces and put our money in international funds wish to who diversify their real estate investment holdings in Valencia.
In our two years existence we have so far completed €1,2 million in acquisitions and are eager to attract new investors for new opportunities.
Properties can be acquired directly by the investor, or through Spanish Equity. In most cases, investors will opt to own the property themselves and delegate in Spanish Equity the restoration and future sale of the property. This is fine with us.

As a real estate investment firm we are constantly looking for historical buildings on sale that are a genuine investment opportunity to offer to partners and client investors. Investment opportunities are notified to investors who receive a draft project outlining the basic acquisition costs, restoration costs and expected yield. Appealing properties are then inspected by investors who will appoint Spanish Equity to manage the acquisition, renovation and, optionally, the lease or sale of the renovated property.
Investors wishing to delegate in Spanish Equity the acquisition of property are asked to sign an exclusive buyer agreement in which they appoint Spanish Equity S.A. to represent, advice, negotiate and advocate on their behalf for the acquisition of the real property in Valencia city.
We report Investment Opportunities to Investors seeking to invest in Valencia through Spanish Equity by informing them of new estate investment opportunities and forwarding investors the following information:

- Asking price.
- Physical description of the building or flat.
- Accurate floor plans.
- Exterior and Interior Photographs .
- Brief description of renovation needed and estimated costs.
- Expected time frame for renovation and other relevant information on request.

If you are an investor or property fund manager and you feel attracted to the idea of soundly investing in period property in Valencia, I would appreciate your call. I’d be more than happy to share with you my insight and experience in Valencia’s historical city centre real estate market; the acquisition process, the pitfalls, the renovation time frames, who are the sellers and who will be the buyers.
Furthermore, if you happen to be a manager, like myself, that appreciates professional relationships based on trust and admiration, I’ll be more than happy to put my cash with yours to fund any given project in Valencia city centre, however large.

We eventually make our money selling the properties we renovate to end buyers. Although our properties are made available to all types of buyers without regard o race, colour or religion, we have found that there is a predominant profile of buyer who is attracted to these type of properties:

Period properties in the centre are exclusive and unique, yet affordable, and appeal generally to young single individuals with a professional career with earnings in excess of 40,000 Euros per year. The buyer is predominantly single, of Caucasian origin, with a higher than average spending capacity and a like for exclusive products that distinguishes him or her from the rest. In most cases the buyer is under 38 years of age, single and has no children. Older buyers tend to be affluent senior couples or senior singles in their late 50s, typically with emancipated children, who have lived in the outskirts of Valencia and now wish to have ae base in the city centre to enjoy the leisure and cultural activities offered by the vibrant city.

In all cases, the buyer likes the area and knows it, usually very well. The buyer likes being in the centre, likes the feel of distinction, understands the uniqueness of period properties, has a liking for high ceilings, values design, appreciates quality interiors, can distinguish quality fittings from average ones, and is eager to learn about more about the construction aspects that make his or her property different from the rest.

If I were to say that we have no competition one may assume I have not done sufficient research. But in all honesty, in three years researching into property in Valencia I know of no developer who markets upper-end period properties like we do. I would venture to say that 80% of new properties offered in Valencia City are priced primarily on the basis of square metres and location, with little emphasis on the quality of the interiors. Flat interiors offered by average developers are pretty standard and cheap. Even developers selling renovated flats in the most expensive locations at over 600,000 Euros will sell on the basis of location and internal footprint area. And those who market their property as “exclusive” rarely venture more than to offer marble flooring and a parking space. Small developers renovating period flats in the centre concentrate mainly on buying cheap, knocking down a few walls, installing a cheap new kitchen, air conditioning, laying down sale tiling at 8 Euros/sq. metre, painting and selling as quickly as possible at a margin.

We however, are very selective about where we buy; and are very design conscious. We know that our customer will be the type of buyer who spends 3,000 Euros on a numbered piece of art to decorate his front room. We take care on how we present the property and the materials that go into it. We are proud to explain potential owners in every detail all the constructive process and the reasons why such and such material or fitting has been chosen against others and all the thought and care that has been put into his property.

“When buying a property abroad there are several things that you need:

• Someone who is familiar with the area and property market.
• Someone who is familiar with the purchasing process and can guide you through it.
• Recommendation of a lawyer with excellent knowledge of spanish property law and the english language - to ensure things are not misunderstood.

When you have purchased your property you need:

• An excellent architect who listens to your ideas and uses their knowledge and skills to transform the purchase into your dream property.
• Someone you can trust to oversee any refurbishment with good contacts for building work and supplies (this includes taking you to suppliers to choose materials and arranging connection of utilities).

Felipe and Natalia helped with all of the above. They have high standards, with attention to detail and pride in their work. Communication was excellent with regular e-mail contact and prompt response to any questions.

We thoroughly recommend them.

with very best wishes
