What does buying a house in Spain cost?
Besides the purchase price of the property, there are some additional costs in Spain. Roughly count on 10-14% extra on top of the purchase price. That includes:
- Transfer tax or VAT (depending on the type of property)
- Notary and registration fees
- Legal costs
- Brokerage commission (if applicable)
We make all costs transparent upfront and only work with reliable parties who communicate clearly.
Legal certainty
One of the main reasons people buy with us is because we make sure everything is legally correct. We work with experienced lawyers and gestoría who check all documents:
- Was the property built legally?
- Are there any debts on the property?
- Is the cadastral registration correct?
We will also help you apply for a NIE number (mandatory when buying) and open a Spanish bank account.
