What TM did:

The client approached us via the internet, expressing an interest in purchasing an investment property in the Marbella region. Several months after our initial contact, we were approached by a Dutch finance group to sell an unfinished structure, together with an adjacent plot, that belonged to one of their clients. We presented this opportunity to the client, who had been informed by another agent that the property had been sold. This was not correct, as although someone was close to buying the property, there was still an opportunity to acquire it. The challenge was it was difficult to act quickly since the deal was extremely complicated and time-consuming.

After visiting the property several times with the client and various architects and technicians to assess the possibilities, and following liaisons with the town hall as to what was needed to commence building work again, our client decided to make an offer to purchase the property, subject to various conditions. The finance company respected the time, effort, and money our client had committed to the potential purchase and agreed to a period of exclusivity to allow breathing space to conduct further due diligence before committing to the purchase. There were still several legal and planning issues which required greater clarity before our client could proceed. After three months of legal negotiations, we agreed terms with the finance company and secured the property for the client.

Thereafter, we assisted the client with the selection of an architect and building company, and following the granting of a building license by Marbella Town Council, work began to transform the current structure into an impressive modern dwelling. The work was completed six months ahead of schedule in summer 2016.
