Why SmartShopSpain

After making a significant investment in your property it´s easy to underestimate the  costs and the time needed to get your property ready to use.

You see a showhouse that´s fully furnished but the first time that you see inside your property is normally when you complete. Buyers become surprised when items like shower cubicles, lights, curtain rails and bathroom fittings are not included with the property

When you consider everything you need to get your Example of a Furnished Lounge Total Cost €475property ready, it is all the extras that can quickly increase your costs, especially if you are not good at DIY

If you want everything done for you then a furniture pack is a good solution but this can be expensive, a good package costing more than €8000 and they rarely include everything you need and the quality of crockery, cutlery and kitchen goods can be poor. Often people change 30% of the pack, typically pictures and linen, within the first 18 months. 

As a result of the opening of large commercial centres, stores including IKEA, Primark, BricoDepot our B&Q, local retailers are now having to offer keener prices and buyers can save significant money by shopping locally, you can see what you are buying and often goods are ofetn in stock for immediate delivery. 

Just some examples of savings compared to furniture packs include

  • Shower cubicles €350 with pack, €120 sourced from DIY store
  • Bath shower screen €140 with pack, €49 from DIY store
  • Bathroom mirror with lights, €130 with pack €55 from DIY store
  • Lights €35 each with pack €6 each from DIY store
  • Glass table with 4 aluminum chairs €450 with pack, €175 from local retailer
  •  Leather sofas 3 + 2  seater (new) €1300 with pack, €895 from local retailer, €495 quality used item 

As a result of the credit crunch and people handing back their keys nearly new furniture is an ideal solution to furnish rental properties and with more than 15 stores in Costa Blanca and Murcia areas there´s plenty of choice, for examples see the Nearly New Furniture Page
