MySpot Buyers FAQ
Everything you need to know about buying property in Barcelona with a buyer's agent.
A Buyer’s Agent is a real estate professional who represents only the buyer during a property purchase. MySpot Barcelona offers traditional property sales services and a dedicated Buyer’s Agent division called MySpot Buyers. This division works exclusively for buyers from the first search step until completion at the notary, with continued support beyond completion where required, ensuring independent advice and full alignment with the buyer’s interests.
Traditional real estate agencies are usually instructed by the seller to market and sell a specific property, which means their primary responsibility is to achieve the best outcome for the seller. MySpot Buyers, by contrast, represents only the buyer and searches across the entire market, including on-market and off-market opportunities. This difference in representation removes conflicting incentives and ensures that advice, negotiation, and risk assessment are carried out solely in the buyer’s interest.
MySpot Buyers is designed for international buyers, as well as Spanish and Catalan buyers, who want expert guidance in a complex and fast-moving property market. It is ideal for anyone who values clear advice, structured processes, and a trusted professional by their side when making important property decisions.
Each project begins with a feasibility study to define realistic search criteria and, where required, a financing strategy. The full market is explored, including on-market and off-market opportunities. Properties are pre-selected through pre-visits and shortlisting before accompanied visits take place. Technical and legal checks are coordinated once a property is selected, followed by negotiation, administrative coordination, and guidance through to final signing at the notary and post-purchase support.
Yes. Many clients find a property independently and ask MySpot Buyers to step in. In these cases, we assist with evaluation, negotiation, coordination of technical and legal checks, and transaction management to ensure the purchase is secure and well informed.
Through local networks, professional associations, and private seller contacts, MySpot Buyers accesses properties that are not publicly advertised. This opens additional opportunities beyond standard property portals such as Idealista and Fotocasa.
The feasibility study focuses on defining realistic search criteria based on your goals, budget, and lifestyle. Where relevant, a preliminary financing and mortgage feasibility assessment is coordinated with trusted mortgage specialists to ensure your search is aligned with what is achievable from the outset.
Clients may be introduced to trusted mortgage brokers for an initial financial profile review and presentation of available mortgage options. Any preliminary feasibility checks and option presentations are typically provided without cost. Mortgage broker fees only apply if a mortgage is ultimately contracted, and terms are agreed directly between the client and the broker.
The technical inspection focuses on assessing the general condition of the property and identifying visible imperfections or potential technical issues that could affect safety, value, or future costs. This includes a written report with images. If relevant issues are identified, a more extensive technical report by an external specialist may be recommended, depending on the type and condition of the property.
The legal review verifies key aspects of the property before purchase, including ownership, registered surface, building status, licenses, debts, charges, and any limitations affecting the transaction or future use. Where applicable, the existence of leases, community obligations, or pending issues is identified so risks and responsibilities are clearly understood before proceeding.
MySpot Buyers coordinates and supports the legal review process but does not replace independent legal advice. Where more complex legal analysis is required, trusted external legal professionals will be involved to provide specialist advice, depending on the property and transaction.
External legal or technical experts may be recommended when a property presents legal complexity, technical issues, or risk factors that go beyond a standard review. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis and discussed transparently with the buyer before proceeding.
Yes. MySpot Buyers supports the preparation and presentation of offers, assists with reservation agreements and deposit contracts, and coordinates the review and preparation of private purchase agreements in collaboration with the relevant professionals.
Support includes coordinating documentation, selecting an English-speaking notary where required, and accompanying clients to the notary for the signing of the public deed of sale. Guidance is provided before, during, and after the notarial signing to ensure clarity at every step.
After completion, MySpot Buyers assists with practical post-purchase steps such as utility transfers, coordination with the community of owners, and introductions to trusted architects or renovation professionals. Where applicable, coordination with external professionals for administrative or post-closing matters can also be supported.
Fees are agreed clearly in advance and are based on the scope and complexity of the service rather than property value. MySpot Buyers does not receive commissions from sellers. Payment milestones and applicable taxes are defined contractually to ensure transparency from the start.
Service conditions are agreed before starting, including how time and work invested are handled if a purchase does not proceed. The aim is to ensure fairness and transparency for both the client and MySpot Buyers from day one.
The main focus is Barcelona city. Buyers are also supported across Catalonia, including coastal and countryside locations, depending on the project.
Spain has a strong legal framework for property ownership. With proper guidance, document review, and professional coordination, the process is secure and transparent. Every step is overseen to ensure compliance with local requirements.
MySpot Buyers combines international experience with deep local knowledge. The team is multilingual, independent, and dedicated to buyer representation. Our values consist of transparency, clear communication, and personal guidance throughout the process.
