Buying and Purchasing a Spanish property

​

If you are thinking about or intent to buy a home in Spain, here are some examples of operations we have experience and expertise in.

 

• Buying a home in Spain, including villas, countryside houses, apartments and land.

• Buying a holiday home in Spain, including villas, countrysidehouses, apartments, land, and its management;

 

The process of buying a property in Spain begins with reviewing the property status in question, confirming the ownership and that the description given by the sellers is in fact the correct one, matching all details of the one viewed. In summary, we check all legal documentation and taxes on the property to be purchased.

 

Once confirmed the parties involved can move forward on to the terms and conditions and the buying / selling private contract. In the case of a second hand property, the property will have a bank credit check making sure that it is debt free at completion day. The seller may have a mortgage in which case this will also need to be coordinated with his bank at to avoid any misunderstanding or delay. The following stage is the preparation for completion. Final checks will be made on the deed to make sure it is registered correctly will the local Town Hall.

 

Once all aspects are compliance with present laws and regulations a Notary will be assigned to oversee the completion of the transaction, bearing witness and reviewing all the documentation.

 

After completion we take care of change of ownership notifications in the Town Hall, water and electricity supplier companies, pay any outstanding rates and taxes, and deposit the surplus, if required.
