Buying in Spain as a non-resident is straightforward if you do things in the right order. Most delays come from starting the paperwork too late.

Before you make an offer

Apply for your NIE, open a Spanish bank account and appoint an independent lawyer. We can arrange all three within two weeks.

From offer to keys

A private contract and a ten percent deposit, the lawyer’s checks on the land registry and licences, the mortgage if you need one, and finally signing at the notary, where the keys change hands.
