Buying in Spain, without the fog.
Honest, no-jargon answers to the questions buyers ask us every week.
Can non-residents buy property in Spain?+
Yes. There are no restrictions on non-residents buying property in Spain. You'll need an NIE (foreigner ID number), which we help you obtain.
What are the total costs on top of the purchase price?+
Budget around 10–13% for taxes, notary, land registry and legal fees. We give you a clear breakdown before you commit to anything.
Do I need to be there in person to buy?+
Not necessarily. Many of our buyers complete via power of attorney with their Spanish lawyer, so the paperwork can be signed remotely.
Can I get a Spanish mortgage as a foreigner?+
Yes — most Spanish banks lend up to 60–70% to non-residents. We can introduce you to trusted mortgage brokers.
How long does the process take?+
From offer to keys typically 6–10 weeks, depending on how quickly documents are gathered and your lawyer's checks.
Do you help after we move in?+
Absolutely. Utilities, internet, town hall registration, local trades — we stay in your corner well past the closing.
