Buying
Buying a home with us
From the first viewing to the notary and the day you get the keys. One team, in your language, since 2002.
Buying in Spain works differently from most other countries: other procedures, other taxes, other checks. We guide you through all of it, from a search matched to your wishes to the signing at the notary and the months after.
How a purchase works
- 1
Reservation
Once we agree a price with the seller, you sign a reservation contract and pay a deposit, usually €3,000 to €5,000. The home comes off the market and the price is fixed.
- 2
Private purchase contract
This contract sets the completion date. If completion is more than four weeks away, you top up the deposit to 10% of the purchase price.
- 3
Checks and preparation
Land registry, debts, licences, community fees: we check it and tell you what we find. We prepare your paperwork and coordinate notary, lawyer and bank.
- 4
Completion at the notary
One of us is with you on the day. You pay the remaining balance when the deed (escritura) is signed.
- 5
The keys, and after
You are the owner. We transfer utilities, IBI and community fees to your name and stay your contact in the months after.
Arrange your finances early
Knowing your budget tells you which homes are within reach, and lets you act quickly when the right one appears. Non-residents can usually borrow 60 to 70% of the value. We arrange your mortgage with a Spanish bank.
