Any help, advice greatly appreciated.

Hi Nobby,

I THINK you will find most of them want 5% without any up front fees or expenses. If you want to sign with just one agent, giving them the exclusive right to market and sell, you can negotiate a lower commission. However, most people give it to multiple agents and the one that gets the deal get the 5% and everyone else gets host.

Have an informal chat with Martin Bliss http://www.bliss-properties.com/index.shtml

He will give you loads of information and by my reckoning, he's one of the good guys in this game.

Tom.

Don`t forget the Spanish revenue retain 3% of the sales price as a retention tax that you then have to apply for within a specific period, took me nearly 4 years to get my money back.
