FAQ’s
Answers to common questions from international clients considering the purchase of property in Spain.
Yes. International clients can purchase property in Spain. The process may involve legal, administrative and practical requirements that differ from those in the buyer’s country of residence, so it is advisable to review the transaction and the relevant documentation before making a binding commitment.
Ideally, you should contact a lawyer before signing a reservation agreement, private purchase contract or any other document, and before making any payment. Early legal advice allows potential legal or practical issues to be reviewed before the buyer assumes contractual or financial obligations.
The appropriate checks depend on the property and the circumstances of the transaction. They may include ownership, registered charges, debts, planning matters, cadastral information, notarial documentation, community matters and any other relevant legal issues affecting the property.
Yes. Many foreign buyers are not in Spain during part of the purchase process. Abad Associats Lawyers can provide legal guidance remotely and, where appropriate, assist with matters related to representation through a Power of Attorney.
