Before signing a purchase contract, you will, for example, need an NIE number (Número de Identificación de Extranjero). You will also require a Spanish bank account before you can purchase a property. The purchase contract sets out all agreements and obligations between the buyer and seller relating to the purchase and sale of the property concerned.
The complete (legal) process of purchasing a property in Spain,, including all related matters and costs, can be found in the brochure ‘Buy with confidence on the Costa del Sol’'.
Upon a successful transfer between buyer and seller, we normally receive a commission fee from the selling party. In Spain, it is common practice for buying and selling agents to collaborate, meaning that property portfolios are also shared between agents.
