Barcelona Property Finding Service

Are you searching for a property to rent in Barcelona or its surrounding area? If so, I offer a real estate finding service that includes:

• Searching for flats or houses to your specification prior to your visit
• Arrange viewings for when you are in Barcelona
• Accompanying you to viewings, and driving if necessary
  
• Translating Spanish to English and vice versa
• A review of your rental contract by a lawyer
  

Benefits of using a flat finding service

Trying to find long term accommodation from outside Spain is very difficult and time-consuming. I know the places to look and the local contacts.

If you don't speak Spanish you are limited to the international estate agents that tend to be more expensive than the local Catalan agencies.

Paying for a property search service can work out less expensive than flying to Barcelona several times, staying in hotels and hiring a car in order to search for and view flats.

Having lived in Barcelona for over six years I know the rental property market well, and I have experience of finding property for overseas clients. It's a lot less time consuming to let me do the preparatory work and arrange the viewings.

If you don't know the Barcelona area, I can make recommendations for suitable locations based on your requirements, helping to narrow the search and find not only a suitable property but a suitable location.

I don't charge an agency fee, just a daily rate. Most of my clients choose a property to rent on the first day of viewings, so on average only two days of my time are necessary: one day in property searching and arranging viewings with a second day viewing properties.

Contract checking

I offer an additional service of having your rental contract checked by a local Catalan lawyer, and any necessary amendments or additions will be discussed and negotiated with the agent or owner on your behalf.

This service also includes helping you liaise with the agent or owner in supplying all of the documentation you need to demonstrate for the rental agreement and accompanying you to the final contract signing.

Areas covered

I offer a property finding service for Barcelona city and its surrounding areas, such as: Castelldefels, Sitges, Garraf, and to the north in the Maresme area: El Masnou, Premià de Mar and Sant Andreu de Llavaneres. I would also consider going further afield, so please check if you have a particular destination in mind.

Testimonials

Last year I decided to rent an apartment near Marbella on the south coast of Spain. I used the internet to locate suitable properties and set up appointments but I found that it was extremely difficult to do all this at a distance and without local knowledge or the ability to speak fluent Spanish. Consequently I made numerous trips at considerable expense before finding the right property.

This year I decided to move to Barcelona for a year and was fortunate to come across www.movingtobarcelona.com early on in my desk research. Georgia who lives in Barcelona and speaks Spanish agreed to research the market and set up suitable viewing opportunities. Georgia collected us from our hotel each day and navigated our way to view a number of properties making numerous phone calls to firm up on arrangements and seek directions.

We found a suitable property, which I am convinced I would never have found on my own, within three days of my first trip and after allowing for Georgia’s fee saved me a considerable amount in time, travel and hotel costs. I whole heartedly recommend this service to you. – Ian

I can't thank you enough. The past few days I feel I've had a guide as well as someone showing me flats in the city. Your commentary has really stuck in my mind and brought the city to life and you've really made this trip such an enjoyable experience for me. I'm very grateful to you. Thank you so much. – Jane

Faced with the exciting prospect of moving to Barcelona and yet daunted by the process of finding a home for my family, I was fortunate to find Georgia and her immensely valuable website, movingtobarcelona.com.

Georgia provided guidance every step of the way in our search, and helped us to find and secure the perfect apartment for us. She happily shared her deep knowledge of the city, the real estate market, and the intricacies of moving overseas. Through all of our phone and email correspondence, Georgia was always helpful, supportive, and reliable. I highly recommend her. – Laura

Using the movingtobarcelona.com service to locate my dream apartment, made easy, what was an extremely difficult task for me, as my Spanish was not sufficient enough to deal with matters of real estate, especially on the telephone. My circumstances were slightly different as I was already living in Barcelona and time was not the most important factor. Georgia lined up viewings based on my tastes, needs and wants, and the contract was looked over by a lawyer. Highly recommended. – Marian
