Requirements to Buy a Property in Spain

Buying a house in Spain involves several key steps and requirements. Our real estate lawyers guide you through each stage of the process to ensure everything is handled correctly.
If you are a non-resident, this is mandatory to register the property in your name at the Land Registry.
A Spanish bank account is required to complete the transaction and manage payments related to the purchase.
Once you have found the property you wish to purchase and agreed on the price, the process moves to the legal phase.
This step secures the property and formalizes the initial agreement between buyer and seller.
If you require a mortgage, it must be approved before signing the public deed of sale.
The final purchase is completed through the signing of the public deed before a notary.
The property must be officially registered to confirm ownership.
Buyers must pay the applicable taxes depending on the type and location of the property.
In addition to legal assistance, we work with buyer agents through Charfort to help you find the best property in Spain at the most reasonable price.
