Frequently Asked Questions

It is not legally required, but the checks most often overlooked without one are the Nota Simple from the Land Registry, any outstanding charges on the property, and whether building permits and planning status are in order. A lawyer also handles the NIE, which every buyer needs before signing the purchase deed.
The Nota Simple is the Land Registry extract showing who owns the property, its registered description, and any charges, mortgages or encumbrances against it. Reviewing it before paying a deposit is the most effective way to avoid buying a property with debts attached.
Budget an additional 10% to 15% of the purchase price. That covers Transfer Tax (ITP) of 6% to 10% on resale properties, or 10% VAT plus 1% to 1.5% stamp duty on new builds, notary and Land Registry fees of roughly 1% to 2%, and legal representation at about 1%.
Long-term rentals of more than six months are generally allowed with minimal restrictions. Short-term holiday rentals require a tourist licence, which is strictly regulated and in some cases banned, particularly in Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia.
Annual property tax (IBI), which varies by municipality, community fees in apartments and developments, and non-resident income tax, which applies even if you do not rent the property out. Owners are sometimes caught out by large community repair charges, or by fines for not filing the annual non-resident declaration.
Yes. Non-residents can typically borrow 60% to 70% of the property value, against proof of income and financial stability. There is a mandatory ten-day reflection period before signing the mortgage deed, extended to fourteen days in Catalonia.
Spanish law allows a claim for hidden defects where the defect prevents full use of the property without making it unusable. You must notify the seller within a set period of discovering it, and prove the defect existed at the time of sale and was not disclosed. In some regions a building inspection report (IEE) is compulsory for buildings over fifty years old.
