TENERIFE PROPERTY AND THE BEST ESTATE AGENTS IN TENERIFE:
Buying your first property in Tenerife - your ‘dream home in the sun’ - is often a once-in-a-lifetime experience for northern Europeans, particularly those from the United Kingdom and Eire. Most first time buyers of a Tenerife  property start the selection process by visiting the nearest Estate Agent to where they are holidaying, buying an apartment for their own use, with perhaps a small amount of rental income from friends and relations to helps offset the purchase cost and on-going expenses.
The principal reason people give for choosing to buy their property in Tenerife is the island’s wonderful year-round climate. Whilst, initially, the property is bought for holiday use, many people also harbour a dream that they may one day retire here.
Having decided to look into the purchase of a property in Tenerife, usually by studying properties for sale in various Tenerife Estate Agents’ windows, a decision ultimately has to be made about what kind of property to buy (usually dictated by price), and where to buy (often dictated by where people have themselves holidayed over the years). Many first time buyers therefore end up with an apartment near to where they stayed on holiday simply because that’s where the Estate Agent they liked best had their office! Later, these same people often wish they had looked aat other locations before 'rushing in'.
However, over recent years, ever-increasing numbers of people are buying their properties having first identified them via the internet, following up their initial contact with agents by visiting Tenerife to have a look at a number of ‘suitable’ properties before making a decision. This process has become more and more refined over the last 2/3 years with more, and better, sites appearing with built-in Enquiry Forms, Virtual Tours of properties and so on being available on a good site.
Buying your Tenerife Property
Once viewings are completed and a decision has been made, you then have to get down to the ‘nitty gritty’ of Spanish formalities and the paperwork!
Buying property in Tenerife is a very different proposition to buying a property in the United Kingdom and Eire (apologies to readers from other countries!). Not only are you buying a property in a foreign country, but all the paperwork is in a foreign language too (surprise, surprise!). Added to this is the fact that things are carried out in a quite different way. As an example, when you buy an apartment in Tenerife, you don’t just buy the apartment ,but also a share of the pathways, swimming pools, lifts and all the other facilities which are part of the complex in which the apartment is situated. The costs and expenses of all these individual items is calculated on a percentage basis (depending on the total square metres of your apartment vis a vis the total square metres of the entire complex) and apportioned accordingly.
Searching for your ideal property or business
Using The Tenerife Property Guide site to search for your ideal property or business in Tenerife is simple and you can use any one of a number of methods we have made available – you can select an Estate Agent and browse through each of their properties individually, or by refining them by Price Range, Area, Location, Type of Property, or the number of Bedrooms; or you can select a Price Range, or a specific location, or area. In all cases, the Search Results can be further refined by using the filters on the left hand side of the Search results screen. You can even select the way you view your Search Results by using the 'Show As' option.

For many web business owners, the Holy Grail is to get to Google's Page 1 for the most popular 'Search Term' or 'Key Word(s)' relevant to your specific business (eg for people interested in buying a property in Tenerife, the top ''Search Term' is 'Tenerife Property' or 'Property Tenerife').
 To begin my quest, I employed a self-confessed 'expert' - which singularly failed (salespeople should NEVER make staff recruitment decisions - we are too easily 'sold' to!). I then decided to do some research myself and 'discovered' that one of the busiest sites relating to Tenerife (apart from Rob Carless's No 1 - Sun4Free), was etenerife.com. It turned out that this excellent magazine site was owned by fellow Scot, Julie Hume. I phoned Julie, met up with her, was duly impressed with both her credentials and her website, and, much to my delight she agreed to help me as a Consultant.
Just 6 months after our first meeting, and with the essential, full co-operation of our Web Designers and Hosts, OKODEX Solutions in La Laguna , we reached our goal - Position No 3 on Page 1 of Google for a number of our 'Key Words' - Tenerife Property, Tenerife Long Term Rentals, Tenerife Bars or Businesses for Sale plus a number of others. This position does fluctuate, however, and simply proves the need to keep updating/adding new/fresh material to the site.
Julie's article will, I am sure, give heart to many of our visitors, and I would like to say a big THANK YOU to her for her patience(?), guidance, encouragement, intelligent observation and constructive criticism (and occasional baseball bat!). It should be borne in mind that , whilst Julie was the main contributor to our modest success, without a site over which we had full access and control, we could not have achieved what we have.
