    Frequent questions

    How do payments work on a new build in Spain?

    A reservation fee, then 20-30% in stage payments during construction and the balance on completion. Every amount you pay before handover is covered by a bank guarantee.

    What are the purchase costs on top of the price?

    New build carries 10% VAT plus 1.2% stamp duty in Andalusia; resale carries 7% transfer tax. Add notary, land registry, legal fees and a valuation if you take a mortgage.

    Can I buy without travelling to Spain?

    Yes. We arrange your NIE, bank account, an independent lawyer and a power of attorney so the purchase can be completed remotely.
