• Answer your questions and advise you.

- Situation Analysis
The main rule for avoiding risks in property buying is to make the right situation analysis. Below mentioned items should be checked and make sure that there are not any problems about.
- The legal situation of ownership and property
• Exemption of property from debts and fees
• Public services to be up to date
• Availability of property
As our company, we are checking all these issues in advance for all the properties in our portfolio and we offer to you only hassle-free properties.
- Contract
You liked one of the properties and you would like to buy it. Usually, at this point, you should pay a reservation deposit and sign a proposed contract. This contract will give you some time to make all the legal controls before purchase and will take off the property from sale during this period. This deposit is around € 5.000 and returnable.
If everything is ok, following the approval of the lawyer , you will need to sign the main contract to go on with the purchase process. Even if this contract is not registered in an official book, it is accepted as binding, and you should read and understand all the details.
When signing this contract, it is expected that you make a down payment usually from 10% to 30% of the purchase price. The amount can differ according to the seller or the situation of the construction.
If you give up buying after signing this contract, it is mostly possible that you cannot get the deposit back. So, you need to be sure before signature. If the Seller withdraws from the contract, you may have a right to get compensation.
- Getting an NIE Number and Opening A Bank Account
NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjeros) shows that you are registered in Spanish authorities and is mandatory for buying a property in Spain. Getting NIE is a relatively simple process that only requires a visit to the Foreigners Office with required documents. Spain Homes will be assisting you also in this Process.
After getting your NIE number, we will open bank account in our partner bank’s Office.
- Title Deed
Title Deed should be signed in front of a Notary. You will pay the remaining amount for the property, and you will have your property.
At this stage, known as “Copia Simple”, you will get a copy of the document. If you got a mortgage for the property, the bank would keep the original document until all the debts are paid.
- Land Registry
Once the Title Deed is signed in Notary, your data is registered in Land Registry. At this point, if the Title Deed is on a Company name, all the situations like change in the company title should be reported with legal documents.
- Taxes and Legal Fees
Having a lawyer is also important for this stage. Taxes and legal fees may differ according to many factors. While paying the legal fees you should ask for detailed receipts for you to know exactly what you have paid for. For notary fees and taxes paid, you should be receiving original invoices. You should also keep all these documents, invoices, and receipts.
When the purchase process is completed, there would be ownership taxes that should be paid regularly as IBI (Municipality Tax). Either a resident in Spain or not, all the property owners are responsible for IBI.
As Spain Homes, we will always be there for you, for all your questions about taxes and legal fees.
