Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions buyers ask us most often.
The first step is obtaining an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero), which is required for all financial and legal activities in Spain. Once you have it, you can open a Spanish bank account, secure financing if needed, and proceed smoothly with any property purchase.
In Andalucía, plan for about 8–10% on top of the price for a resale home (7% transfer tax plus notary, land registry and lawyer) and about 12–13% for a new build (10% VAT, 1.2% stamp duty plus the same fees). We give you an exact estimate for each property.
While not legally required, having an independent lawyer is strongly recommended. A lawyer ensures due diligence, reviews all documentation, confirms the property is free of debts, and protects your interests throughout the transaction.
Once an offer is accepted and the reservation is signed, the process typically takes four to eight weeks. The timeline depends on due diligence, mortgage approval (if applicable), and the parties’ availability for signing at the notary.
Owners usually pay IBI (local property tax), rubbish collection fees, community fees (if part of an urbanisation), and non-resident income tax if they do not live in Spain full-time. Each property is unique, so the exact amounts vary.
Both options have advantages. Investment properties can generate stable rental income, especially in high-demand areas like Marbella. Properties purchased for personal use offer lifestyle value and long-term security. The best choice depends on your goals, how often you plan to use the property, and your financial strategy.
