Frequently Asked Questions

How can a foreigner buy property in Spain?

Buying property in Spain for foreigners involves several steps: selecting a property, reserving it, checking for legal clarity, debts and encumbrances, signing the purchase agreement at a notary, and registering the property rights. Espavista Real Estate provides full support throughout the transaction, handling all related matters.

Learn more about all the steps in our Guide to Buying Property.

Can a non-resident get a mortgage in Spain?

Yes, mortgages in Spain are available to non-residents from most banks. Foreigners can typically borrow up to 60-70% of the property value. Espavista Real Estate can help you find the best terms, prepare the documents, and navigate the entire mortgage application process.

We provide full support in obtaining a loan (see Financial Support and Mortgages).

What expenses should be considered when buying property in Spain?

In addition to the property price, there are other costs: purchase tax (from 10%), notary fees, registration fees, and legal support. This typically amounts to about 10-12% of the property value. We calculate the total amount in advance so you won’t face any surprises.

A full list of expenses is in our guide to buying property.

How to know if a property in Spain is a reliable investment?

We assess liquidity, rentability, and growth prospects. We select the best properties suitable for both rental income and capital appreciation.

Why use a real estate agency when I can search on my own?

Buying a home in Spain is not just about choosing a beautiful property; it involves a different legal system, language, and procedures. Without understanding local laws, you can easily face legal risks, hidden fees, and dishonest sellers. Both buyer and seller must be thoroughly aware of their legal and financial obligations, as well as the nuances of conducting a transaction within the legal framework.

Espavista Real Estate takes on the full verification of properties on the Costa Blanca, conducts negotiations in Spanish, and protects your interests at every stage. We don’t just find you an apartment; we find a solution you can be confident in. Even if you have already found a property yourself, we can check its legal status, negotiate, and safely handle the entire turnkey transaction.
