to take the whole package since we are able to subsidise
our costs by way of an introduction fee we charge the

Prudent and sensible people will utimately engage a
lawyer or someone with the necessary skills to handle
their purchase. We believe it makes good sense to enlist
professional help from the beginning to ensure the whole
process runs smoothly rather than discover problems at
the end. The best scenario when problems are discovered
is you have to start looking all over again which can
be frustrating and time consuming the worst case however
is - you lose money!
After preliminary consultation to establish your particular
criteria it will eventually become necessary to open an
account with us. This indicates a serious commitment and
allows us to proceed with the full range of services as
applicable. To engage any of the services described above
it is necessary to open a client account with Search &
Survey SL and to do this we will require a provision of
funds to the value 300.00€. This can be made at any time
before the actual accompanied viewing commences.
Payments may be made by credit card, cheque or bank transfer.
