Practical information for buyers

• Prices vary strongly between micro-locations, frontline positions and new versus resale stock – we compare current listings with you before every viewing.
• Many developments have community fees covering gardens, pools and security; check these together with local property taxes (IBI).
• Non-resident buyers can finance a purchase with a Spanish mortgage, subject to the bank's own criteria.

How buying property in Spain works

1. NIE and bank account

   Foreign buyers need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE) and usually a Spanish bank account to pay the deposit, taxes and running costs.

2. Reservation

   Once you choose a property, a reservation agreement and deposit take it off the market while the legal checks are carried out.

3. Independent legal due diligence

   Your own lawyer checks ownership and charges at the Land Registry, planning status, licences, community fees and outstanding debts.

4. Private purchase contract

   Buyer and seller sign a private contract (often an arras contract) with an agreed deposit and completion date.

5. Completion at the notary

   The title deed (escritura) is signed before a Spanish notary, the balance is paid and the keys are handed over.

6. Taxes and registration

   Purchase taxes are paid and the deed is registered at the Land Registry in your name.

Purchase taxes and fees depend on whether the property is a resale or a new build and on your personal situation. We always recommend confirming current rates with an independent lawyer or tax advisor before signing.
