Legal Requirements and Steps Prior to Purchase
Before finalizing a purchase in Spain, it is necessary to comply with some essential legal requirements. Our team helps you manage them quickly and securely:
1. Obtaining the NIE (Foreigner Identification Number)
This is mandatory for any real estate transaction in Spain.
We can help you process it whether you reside in Spain or need to manage it from your country of origin through the consulate.
2. Opening a Bank Account in Spain
Most notaries and financial institutions require the buyer to have a Spanish bank account to make payments associated with the transaction (deposit, taxes, notary fees, etc.).
We advise you on choosing a bank and the necessary documents.
3. Legal Verification of the Property
Before signing any contract, we carry out essential verifications:
Property registration status
Status of encumbrances or debts
Urban planning certificates
Verification of ownership
Community status (expenses and assessments)
4. Earnest Money Contract
Once the property has been selected, an earnest money contract is signed to reserve the property.
We explain each clause and protect your interests during the negotiation.
5. Signing Before a Notary Public
The sale is formalized before a notary public in Spain.
We can represent you with a power of attorney if you are unable to travel.
6. Tax Payment and Registration
After signing, we handle:
Tax payments (Property Transfer Tax or VAT, Stamp Duty)
Registration of the property in the Land Registry
Change of ownership for utilities and community fees
