Step-by-step process

5 steps to buying your property

1

Get your NIE

The Foreign Identification Number is essential for any property transaction in Spain. We help you obtain it.

2

Financing

If you need a mortgage, Spanish banks finance up to 70% for non-residents. We connect you with the best banking partners.

3

Offer and deposit

Once you have chosen the property, a deposit contract is signed with a 10% deposit that reserves the property.

4

Notary signing

The sale is formalised before a public notary with the payment of the remaining price and the signing of the deed.

5

Land registry

We register the deed at the Land Registry and handle the taxes so you officially become the new owner.
