]]> Comment on Choosing the moment to sell in Tenerife might increase your profit by Lester Emanuel http://tpg-tenerife.com/?p=2032&cpage=1#comment-667 Lester Emanuel Thu, 22 Oct 2009 01:46:37 +0000 http://tpg-tenerife.com/?p=2032#comment-667 You make a very a valid point in this article but personally, We think from a buyers perspective it is completely the opposite argument. The exchange rate has dropped further since your article was published. We think sellers should be encouraged to drop their prices to reflect their sterling gains but of course that only applies to sterling buyers. For Euro buyers it does not make any difference. More work to persuade sterling sellers to drop their prices! You make a very a valid point in this article but personally, We think from a buyers perspective it is completely the opposite argument.

]]> Comment on Spanish loans on the increase. by Spanish Mortgages http://tpg-tenerife.com/?p=1650&cpage=1#comment-568 Spanish Mortgages Sat, 08 Aug 2009 23:52:49 +0000 http://tpg-tenerife.com/?p=1650#comment-568 Things have certainly loosened up from 12 months ago when literally nothing was happening in the Spanish Mortgage market. However, it is still not easy, nor straightforward for non-residents to obtain a mortgage. The problems are exacerbated in Tenerife where local branch managers simply will not sign off on what they see as risky loans (anything above 60%) so we end up with a situation where buyers in Tenerife mistakenly believe they can only borrow 60% of the purchase price. Truth is (get ready for the plug) we are able to obtain 80% of purchase price for many of our clients although it certainly is not easy and the same company who offer us 80% will, if approached in Tenerife, offer YOU 60%. We wouldn't usually blow our own trumpet so readily but considering what else buyers in Tenerife are faced with - we always have been and are very good at obtaining mortgage in Spain. Its just a shame that most agents in Tenerife (as opposed to mainland Spain where most of our business is) are way too blind/stupid/greedy to appreciate the professional service that we provide....

However, that said, I'd still rather be in the UK - nicer culture and society in my opinion.
