Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents HOME Costa Blanca have decided to take a radical approach to the problem of overpriced property in the area.
They are holding an exhibition of new and resale property in Moraira on November 27 at Restaurante El Andaluz with the aim of offering professionally-valued quality re-sale properties without the ridiculously high commissions charged by the majority of the high street agents.
They are also offering 1,000s of euros cashback on selected developments in order to provide their clients with good value for money. 
The area to be covered is from Oliva in the north down to Mar Menor in the south and all areas in between such as Dénia, Jávea, Moraira, Calpe, Altea and Alicante.
Dan Rushton MRICS, accustomed to working on behalf of clients such as Prudential, Aberdeen Asset Management and The Crown Estate, now based in Spain as a partner and Investment Advisor for HOME, says: “Many purchasers in the Northern Costa Blanca are no longer able to get good value for money. This is for two reasons.
“Firstly vendors are constantly being badly advised on the real value of their property by Agents who are just sales people rather than property professionals and secondly the ludicrously high commissions that most agents charge inevitably get passed on to the purchaser by way of an inflated asking price.”
Many agents in the area are charging up to 10% of the purchase price merely for the introduction of a client in order to cover their vast expenses such as international marketing, company cars, staff commissions and a Board of Directors. 
Dan Rushton MRICS feels strongly that something must be done to ensure that quality, realistically- priced properties are available through Estate Agents where the client will receive good advice and guidance rather than being forced to either negotiate the pitfalls of buying privately or subsidising huge agency fees.
He says: “As a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors it is the duty of our company to offer value for money and sound, professional, impartial advice.
“At our forthcoming exhibition we will be offering quality well priced re-sale properties. We are able to do this as we are charging the vendors a very low commission to ensure that a saving is passed on to our clients. 
We will also be offering a ‘cashback’ incentive on selected top quality new developments including individual villas and fantastic golf and leisure resorts.
“Also available on the day will be free tax and legal advice from a Spanish Law firm and free financial and mortgage advice from a representative of Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. We also provide a fully personalised after-sales service for all our clients.”
