Frequently asked questions about buying and selling property in Spain

Can I buy property in Spain as a non-resident?

Yes, it is entirely possible. The only essential requirement is to obtain a Foreigner Identification Number (NIE). We guide you through the process.

How to get a mortgage in Spain as a foreigner?

Spanish banks finance non-residents, generally up to 70%. A solid financial profile and good advice are key. Complete mortgage guide.

What is an earnest money agreement in Spain and why is it important?

It is the private contract that seals the agreement between the buyer and seller before the notary. Correct drafting is vital to protect your investment. All about earnest money agreements.

What is the 3% retention when selling property in Spain as a non-resident?

When selling as a non-resident, the buyer withholds 3% of the price for the Tax Agency on account of your capital gains tax. Complete guide here.

Long-term or holiday rental in Spain?

Holiday rentals usually offer higher profitability but require more management. Long-term rentals provide stable income. Compare both options.

What happens after signing at the notary in Spain?

It is crucial to carry out post-completion management: changing utilities, notifying the Cadastre and the town hall to avoid debts or penalties. Follow these steps.
