Property Purchase

This service is available across Spain

Who Is This Service For?

Embarking on a journey to purchase property in Spain may appear daunting, especially if you are unfamiliar with the local legalities.
This service is for you if you’re an international buyer, expat, or investor, looking to navigate through the intricate Spanish property market.
You might face challenges like dealing with language barriers, understanding complex Spanish property laws, and managing documentation — a tricky undertaking where errors can result in substantial financial loss.
Engaging with this service, you connect with skilled English-speaking lawyers who ensure that buying property in Spain can be a smooth, compliant, and stress-free process.

Requirements

You'll be delighted to know that Spain warmly welcomes international property buyers, imposing no specific nationality requirements. However, certain essentials must be adhered to.
You must be of legal age (18 or above) and possess a fiscal identification number for foreigners (NIE number) to participate in the property market.
Additionally, depending on your nationality and intended length of stay, visa requirements might come into play.
For non-EU residents especially, exploring and securing the appropriate visa, such as the Golden Visa which involves certain investment thresholds, might be pivotal in your property acquisition journey.

Procedure

You can begin your Spanish property-buying journey with ease, knowing every legal step is managed meticulously.
Initially, your lawyer conducts a thorough property check, ensuring it is free from debts and legal impediments.
Following this, a reservation agreement is signed to secure the property.
Your lawyer then performs due diligence, examining property licences and planning permissions, while managing financial arrangements like opening a Spanish bank account for you.
Subsequently, a private purchase contract (PPC) is signed, detailing the terms of the sale.
Upon verification of all aspects, you’ll sign the title deed in the presence of a Notary, and the lawyer ensures the property is registered under your name, culminating in you receiving the keys to your Spanish dream home.
