Tenerife is a sub-tropical island of huge variety, with landscapes ranging from the snowy peak of mount Teide to the golden beaches of the south, warmed by the sun twelve months of the year. It is no surprise that so many people choose to invest in this piece of paradise.
Read more: Buying Tenerife PropertyChoosing an estate agent
Buying in Tenerife is a different experience to the UK, and to make it as smooth and stress free as possible, you should take great care about the agent that you choose. An agent in Tenerife has a much wider ranging responsibility, and in selecting an agent you should ensure that they have the administrative resources to assist you. Not only is there a language barrier, but things just don’t work in the same way as they do in the UK, so they won’t work in the way you might expect. There is a minefield of bureaucracy which ranges from registering your tax status to ensuring that services such as electricity and water will be working when you move in. Many purchasers have a window of a week or two in which to get everything done. This is an impossible task, and so your agent should represent your interests to ensure that everything is dealt with from the delivery of furniture to the exchange of contracts and dealing with the notary. Agents vary in their ability and resources to ensure their service levels can cope with your requirements. Therefore buyers are advised to choose the agent before the property.

The Tenerife Property Shop Trophy Cabinet
Tenerife is a small island, and Tenerife Property Shop is a small Estate Agency when compared with others, yet the company has competed on the world stage and received international recognition and acclaim for the quality of their service.
Read more: Awards and RecognitionsA case of mistaken identity
Tenerife Property Shop is a great name, and we have had it for over twenty years. It does exactly what it says on the tin: it’s where you buy property in Tenerife. But in those many years of existence, other agents have popped up (and down again), and some of their choices of name have been rather similar. Some of the logos have been uncomfortably similar as well. Imitation is of course a compliment, but it can mislead and lull the innocent into a false sense of security, as happened to one property buyer recently.

This year the company was awarded a five star award in the Best Estate Agent category. This is the highest type of commendation possible, and being recognised by professionals from the property industry is no mean feat. The judges are picked from the most respected international bodies, and their scrutiny of the company is both exacting and demanding. Mary Spencer told us what the experience is like. "Do you remember when you sat important exams at school? Remember the hours of revision, swatting, the clammy hands and nervous tension as you entered the exam hall? Preparing for the International Property Awards is a very similar experience."
