Property in Spain
Buy with confidence. We find, check and secure it.
Buying property abroad is one of the biggest decisions you will make. We act as your property hunter and advisor on Spain's east coast: we understand your goals, search the market, check every detail and stay with you until the keys are in your hand.
- Property hunting: listed and off-market homes, villas, land and investment assets, matched to your brief.
- Honest advice: real market prices, neighbourhood insight and expected rental returns before you commit.
- Due diligence: independent lawyer checks on ownership, debts, licences and planning status.
- Negotiation and closing: we negotiate the price and coordinate the notary, bank, taxes and land registry.

Property Hunting & Buying

Visas & Residency
Spanish residency can feel confusing, especially from abroad. We listen to your situation, choose the visa that really fits, and stay with you until the card is in your hand.

- Preparing, translating and legalising your documents
- Getting your NIE (Spanish tax number)
- Help for your spouse and children to join you
Spain's Golden Visa ended on 3 April 2025, so buying property no longer gives residency. We will tell you which visa fits.

- The Beckham Law: a lower tax rate for newcomers who qualify (about 24% on Spanish employment income up to a limit)
- Taxes on property: buying, owning, renting and selling
- Introductions to vetted lawyers and accountants

Client stories
What our clients say
Questions
Quick answers
Can foreigners buy property in Spain?
Yes. Anyone can buy property in Spain, whether or not they live here. You will need an NIE (foreigner tax number) and usually a Spanish bank account. We arrange both and guide you through every step.
What are the costs of buying property in Spain?
On top of the price, taxes and fees usually add roughly 10–13%. This covers transfer tax (or VAT on new builds), notary, land registry and legal fees. The exact amount depends on the property and its value, so we give you a full cost breakdown before you make an offer.
How long does it take to buy a property in Spain?
Once you have chosen a property, a typical purchase takes around 6 to 12 weeks from reservation to signing at the notary. With a mortgage it can take a little longer. We plan every step with you so there are no surprises.
Which areas do you cover?
We work across the Valencian Community: Valencia city and its surroundings, Alicante, Castellón and Sagunto, from city apartments and beach homes to villas, land and rural properties.
Is the Golden Visa still available in Spain?
No. The Golden Visa ended on 3 April 2025, so buying property no longer gives you residency by itself. Other routes still exist, such as the Non-Lucrative, Digital Nomad and self-employed visas. We help you choose.
Do you speak Arabic?
Yes. We work in English and Arabic, and this whole website is available in both.
Do I need to be in Spain to start?
No. You can start from home. We can do viewings by video, and we guide you through the steps before you travel.
How much does it cost?
The first call is free. After that we explain our fees clearly in writing before you decide anything.
