What do I need to buy a house in Spain if I am a foreigner?

Buying a house in Spain as a foreigner is completely possible and accessible, whether you reside abroad or are already in the country. You do not need to be a Spanish citizen or have tax residency in Spain to purchase a property. The key is to comply with certain legal and administrative procedures that ensure the transaction is formalized securely and in accordance with the law. If you decide to buy a property in Spain, these are the necessary steps:

  • Obtain the NIE (Foreigner Identification Number), which is mandatory for any transaction
  • Open a bank account in Spain to make payments and pay taxes
  • Sign a reservation or deposit contract if you wish to secure the property while handling the paperwork
  • Go to a notary for the purchase deed signing
  • Register the property in the Land Registry
  • Pay taxes and associated costs (VAT or ITP, notary, registration, administrative fees)

The process is well-regulated and secure, especially if you have the support of a professional team that provides legal advice and manages the paperwork. Additionally, it is highly recommended to work with a trusted real estate agency that knows the local market well and has experience with international buyers. This will allow you to access properties that suit your needs, better understand the legal and tax particularities of the country, and avoid common mistakes that can delay or increase the cost of the transaction.
