What is the process of buying a property in Spain?

The process involves selecting a property, making a reservation, signing a private contract, and completing the purchase in the notary.

How long does it take to complete a property purchase?

For a second-hand property purchase it takes between 4 to 8 weeks, depending on legal checks and financing. For a new build it can take from 1 month to 3 years, depending on the stage of construction when you buy.

Can I buy a property in Spain without being physically present?

Yes, the purchase can be completed remotely through a power of attorney.

What documents are required to buy a property?

You will need a passport and NIE number. You will also be required to provide proof of the source of funds to comply with legal and financial regulations.

Do I need a Spanish bank account to purchase property?

Yes, a Spanish bank account is typically required to manage payments and ongoing expenses. If you already have an EU bank account, you can use it for maintenance costs, but opening a Spanish account is recommended for easier management.

What is an NIE number and how do I obtain it?

The NIE is a foreign identification number required for any legal or financial transaction in Spain. It can be obtained at a Spanish consulate abroad or at a police station in Spain.

Can foreigners get a mortgage in Spain?

Yes, non-residents can obtain a mortgage, usually financing 60–70% of the property value.

What are the main differences when buying as a non-resident?

Non-residents must comply with additional administrative and financial requirements, but the process is straightforward with proper guidance.

Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Spain?

A lawyer is highly recommended to ensure legal security and review all documentation.

Can I give power of attorney to complete the purchase remotely?

Yes, a power of attorney allows a legal representative to complete the entire process on your behalf.

What additional costs should I expect when buying a property?

Buyers should expect around 12–13% in additional costs, including taxes and legal fees.

How much deposit is required?

A deposit of 10% is typically required at the private contract stage for resale properties. In new developments, the reservation deposit usually ranges from €6,000 to €25,000 depending on the final price.

What percentage of the property value can I finance?

Most banks finance between 60% and 70% of the property value for non-residents.

What are the typical mortgage conditions in Spain?

Mortgage conditions vary, but include fixed or variable rates and require proof of income and financial stability.

Are there any ongoing taxes after purchase?

Yes, there are annual property taxes (IBI) and community maintenance costs to consider.

Is Costa Blanca a good place for real estate investment?

Costa Blanca offers strong demand, lifestyle appeal, and stable long-term value, making it one of the most sought-after investment destinations in Spain.

What type of properties generate the best rental income?

Apartments with 1–2 bedrooms in prime locations close to the beach or golf resorts tend to generate the strongest rental demand and returns.

What factors affect property profitability?

Location, property type, demand, management quality, and local council regulations and restrictions all directly affect profitability.

Can you help with commercial or large-scale investments?

Yes, advisory services include commercial assets, hotels, and large-scale investment projects.

What is the difference between new build and resale properties?

New build properties are newly constructed, while resale properties have had previous owners. New builds often come with modern standards and developer warranties.

Are new build properties safer to buy?

New builds offer modern standards and guarantees, but require proper evaluation of the developer, project stage, and legal protections.

What should I consider when buying off-plan?

It is important to assess the developer's track record, construction timelines, legal guarantees, and bank guarantees that protect your deposit.

Do you check property documentation before purchase?

Yes, all key documentation — including title deeds, planning licences, and encumbrances — is thoroughly reviewed before proceeding with the purchase.

What role does the notary play in Spain?

The notary ensures the transaction is legally valid, witnesses the signing of the title deed, and facilitates registration of the property in your name.

What services do you provide beyond the purchase?

A comprehensive, end-to-end real estate service is offered, covering property search, sales and investment advisory, market analysis, negotiation, legal coordination, NIE assistance, bank account setup, financing management, relocation support, and post-purchase property management.

Do you help with utilities, taxes, and administration?

Yes, full assistance is provided with utilities connection, local taxes, and all administrative procedures following the purchase.

Can you assist with relocation and settling in Spain?

Yes, comprehensive support is available for relocation, residency applications, and settling into your new life in Spain.

Do you offer property management after purchase?

Yes, ongoing support and full property management services — including rental management — are available after purchase.
