FAQ
Buying Your Property in Southern Spain
Can foreigners buy property in Spain
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. Non-residents — including non-EU buyers — can purchase a property in Spain with the same ownership rights as Spanish citizens.
For non-EU buyers planning longer stays, Spain offers various visa options. Buying a property does not automatically grant residency. Our relocation service will guide you through the available regulations.
Do I need to be in Spain to buy a property?
Not necessarily. Our unique virtual viewing concept allows international clients to experience properties remotely and complete their purchase seamlessly through a power of attorney.
We guide you through each step and work closely with independent legal professionals to ensure the process remains secure and transparent.
What are the additional purchase costs?
In addition to the property price, buyers should budget approximately 8–15% for purchase costs, which may include:
Property transfer tax or VAT
Notary and land registry fees
Legal representation
Administrative costs
We provide a clear cost breakdown upfront, so there are no surprises.
Is legal representation required?
While not legally mandatory, independent legal advice is strongly recommended — especially for international buyers.
We work with trusted, bilingual legal professionals who represent your interests exclusively.
Can you help with financing?
Yes. Non-residents may be eligible for Spanish mortgages, depending on individual circumstances and the property.
We can introduce you to reputable banks and mortgage advisors experienced with international clients.
How long does the buying process take?
On average, the purchase process takes 6–10 weeks, depending on factors such as financing, due diligence and documentation.
We manage timelines carefully and keep you informed at every stage.
What should I consider when choosing a location?
Southern Spain offers a wide range of lifestyles — coastal, inland, urban and rural.
We help you evaluate:
Accessibility and infrastructure
Year-round livability
Privacy and surroundings
Rental or resale potential
Personal lifestyle priorities
The right location is about fit, not just popularity.
Can you assist after the purchase is completed?

Utility connections
Renovations or styling
Property management and maintenance
Trusted local service providers
Our clients value long-term support — and that’s exactly what we offer.
Is buying property in Spain a good long-term investment?
For many international buyers, Spanish property represents a combination of lifestyle enjoyment and long-term value.
We focus on homes with strong fundamentals: quality construction, desirable locations and realistic pricing — properties that remain relevant over time.
Why work with a certified agency rather than mass-listing platforms?
Mass portals show everything.
