how to buy property in spain

[DeDakota]

To buy property in Spain, first obtain a Número de Identificación de Extranjero (NIE), open a Spanish bank account, and then find a property and make an offer. After your offer is accepted, sign a reservation contract, conduct due diligence, and secure financing if needed. Next, you'll sign a pre-purchase contract (Contrato de Arras) with a 10% deposit, followed by the final public deed of sale before a notary, where you'll pay the remainder of the price. The property must then be registered in the Land Registry.
