Hi All,
Apologies if this question has been done to death.
Do estate agents in spain generally charge the buyer as well as the seller. I'm looking to buy a property and sort out viewings. One agent charges €999 to the buyer?
Thanks
Martin

5 real estate charge the buyers a fee.
They have a very low sellers fee, so I’ve known vendors who have said that they will pay the sellers fee as well.

That's who it's with.. I have told them to cancel the viewing based on this fee.
Thanks for the response

I recently purchased a Property through 5 Real Estate agents and I did pay 999+ vat and was happy to do so as Apartment was sold to me at a Price less that other similar Apartment a lot less as they charge seller fee is less than other leading Estate agents and seller can accept a lower price. I would have second taught if I was in your shoes

The property is only being sold by 5 real estate so I will still view it as It looks a nice apartment. If we really like it I'm sure we can discuss the buyer fee..
Thanks
