Costa Difference, in one form or another, has been park agents on Park La Posada for over sixteen years now. Apart from representing the park, we also deal with two client types: those selling their homes and those buying them.
Years ago, buyer protection was nonexistent because there were no transaction safeguards with checks and balances; a simple bill of sale was all the buyer had to show a transaction had taken place.
It is all very different today and even more so after the changes introduced due to the pandemic. Sellers using Costa Difference as park agents to manage the sale can now offer their homes for sale with buyer protection included.
The buyer protection offered by the seller starts the moment a home is listed for sale; the listing will state that the home has been independently “priced checked” to confirm the asking price reflects the age of the home.
After that, the protection switches focus by utilising a SAPA contract produced and overseen by us to govern the sale. A SAPA contract includes sale conditions and guarantees vacant possession when it is time to make the final payment.
Finally, only once the seller has confirmed to us that they have received the final payment do we hand over the keys and issue a legal Compra-Venta document verified and stamped by the park owners.
The website demonstrates that sellers offering buyer protection usually sell their homes quickly in Park La Posada. It is, however, not compulsory for sellers in the park to offer the buyer protection service; they can sell their homes privately (subject to park conditions) and issue a bill of sale once the sale concludes.
