Virtual house tour Spain: reserve your virtual home visit now
Online viewing of your new home in Spain
Since last year, we have been offering a virtual tour of a home in Spain at Rayos de Sol. This way we can give you a tour in a house without you actually being there. We bring the Spanish sun into your living room if you cannot travel to Spain.
Thanks to this option, you can virtually view the house you have in mind extensively and get an impression of it. You can view our properties on the Costa Blanca or Costa Cálida both inside and out via Zoom, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams or Facetime. During this pre-planned tour, we take plenty of time to explore the entire house with you, making it look like you are actually in it! During this online tour of a house in Spain you can contact us with all your questions and get the same time as with a real visit on site. And if you wish, we will review certain parts of the house and zoom in on them even more.
A virtual tour of a house on the Costa Blanca or the Costa Cálida will tell you a lot and help you make your final choice. Also if you have seen a property online, you can of course come on a viewing trip to Spain. Together with you, we'll look for the ideal home and explore the area extensively. During your trip you will stay in a four-star hotel with an excellent location.
A virtual 360 degree tour, or a visit on site in the future? It is all possible with Rayos de Sol. But because a (virtual) viewing does not remove all questions or doubts, it is always a good idea to think about certain matters yourself. So keep the following tips in mind to make your search for a property in Spain as smooth as possible.
Work with a specialized English-speaking broker

Moreover, both we and all our agents speak English, so that you can follow everything closely in your own language. When buying a home, it is a big advantage if you can communicate in your own language.
Think carefully about the location in advance
The location can make or break a property in Spain. Do not go unprepared when choosing the area where you want to buy a home. Think carefully about what you really want: a house on the beach, in the countryside ... It is a good idea to travel in the regions that interest you and to soak up the atmosphere and explore the area. . Also check whether there are shops, recreational opportunities (golf) or possibly schools for your children in the area. Whichever home you choose, the climate will never be a deal breaker. After all, you can enjoy 320 days of sunshine a year on both the Costa Blanca and the Costa Cálida.
Choose which type of home suits you best
In addition to the location, it is also a good idea to think thoroughly about the type of home you want to buy. We have different types of houses on offer, including apartments and villas. An apartment is practical and requires less maintenance, while a villa offers more privacy and often has a beautiful private terrace or pool. The costs are also varied. For an apartment you can count on service costs (gastos de comunidad). A villa will then entail some more maintenance costs.
Set your budget and be realistic
In your search for a home in Spain, determine your budget and communicate this clearly to your Rayos de Sol estate agent. This way he / she can select the properties that best suite your buget. After a few visits you will soon get a good and realistic picture of which houses are within your price range and what you can expect for your budget. Of course it could also be that you fall in love with a house that is just beyond your financial possibilities. In that case, review your finances and see if it is an option to sell assets in your home country. In case of equity on the home in your home country, it is good to schedule a meeting with your mortgage lender. This can often be used to finance the foreign home.
Also do your own homework
Rayos de Sol will happily handle everything for you when you want to buy a property in Spain. Still, it is a good idea to collect some extra information yourself and do some research. Immerse yourself a little more in the surroundings of a house that appeals to you and check again how far you are exactly from the coast, golf courses, shopping centers, etc. In addition, it is also best to look at the costs in a consultation with Rayos de Sol. again. For example, how much will you have to pay in proprty tax (IBI) each year?
