Property Buyer’s Agent in Alicante
Costa Blanca, Valencian Community
Alicante province combines a genuine resident market in the city with a very large second-home market along the coast, and the due diligence differs sharply between the two. City purchases raise building-age and community questions; coastal urbanisations raise questions about how they were built and whether the municipality ever formally adopted their infrastructure.
That second point is the one worth naming. In some developments, roads, lighting and drainage remain private and their upkeep falls on the owners, sometimes through charges that are not obvious at viewing. It is discoverable before purchase, and it is the kind of thing a buyer's agent looks for precisely because nobody being paid by the seller will raise it.

Questions about this service
What is the difference between a private and an adopted urbanisation?
Whether the municipality has taken over the roads, lighting, drainage and their maintenance. If it has not, the owners collectively fund and manage them, which is an ongoing cost and occasionally a large one-off when something needs replacing. Check the status of the specific development before you offer.
The seller says everything is in order. Is a survey still worth it?
Yes, and not because the seller is dishonest. Owners routinely do not know the licence history of works carried out before they bought, or what the registry says about their own property. A survey and a registry check establish facts rather than recollections, and both are cheap relative to the purchase.
