BUY WITH CONFIDENCE IN SPAIN

An honest introductory conversation

We start calmly and without pressure. During our first conversation, you tell me why Spain appeals to you, how you want to live and what your approximate budget is. You receive clear information about residential areas, price levels and opportunities in the region.

With almost 20 years of local experience, I can explain which residential areas are popular with Catalan residents and which are particularly sought after by international buyers.

A personal Spain profile

Together, we create a clear Spain profile tailored entirely to your situation.

• Your housing preferences and lifestyle
• Your plans for now and the future
• Additional requirements, such as a swimming pool
• Your maximum budget
• The area that best fits your lifestyle

This allows us to focus exclusively on homes that genuinely suit you.

Understanding the Spanish property buying process

You receive a clear explanation of essential documents such as the NIE number, how offers work, which documents require legal checks and how to protect yourself financially and legally.

With expert buying guidance, you can avoid surprises such as outstanding mortgages, community fees or legalisation issues.

Selecting the right properties

Once the full picture is clear, we search according to your personal criteria. I carefully select and compare properties and also show you comparable homes to give you an honest view of the market.

Guided property viewings in Spain

I arrange the viewings, help you experience the area and point out the key considerations for each property: hidden costs, permits, structural risks, future maintenance and rental potential.

You can enjoy the experience of discovering what may become your future home; I make sure your decision is well informed.

Honest advice and the best offer strategy

Are you excited about a property? We then carefully assess its location, sun orientation, peace and privacy, maintenance costs, market value, room for negotiation and any rental licences.

When everything checks out, we make a strong offer together on your future home in Spain.

Reservation agreement

When your offer is accepted, we arrange a reservation agreement. The property is taken off the market and you usually pay a deposit of approximately €3,000.

There is then usually 1 to 2 weeks to prepare the definitive purchase agreement, the Contrato de Arras.

Private Purchase Contract

We check the legal status of the property, including any rental agreements, mortgages and other encumbrances. We also check that all required permits and documents are in order. If desired, we can arrange an additional structural inspection.

• Transfer of movable items
• Financing contingency, if required
• The notary and completion date

Upon signing, you pay 10% of the purchase price.

Key handover

After signing the Contrato de Arras, we arrange the appointment with the notary. The buyer, seller, any lawyers, the bank and estate agents may be present at the completion.

In Spain, payment is made by a bank cheque in the seller’s name. After the purchase, you receive the final documents and I make sure that gas, water and electricity are transferred into your name.
