Buying property in Torrevieja as a foreigner
We support international buyers through the main legal, tax and administrative stages involved in purchasing property in Spain.
Before buying
It is important to review the legal status of the property, available documentation, expected costs and the obligations the buyer will assume.
After completion
A Spanish property purchase may involve further steps relating to taxes, utilities, representation and other administrative matters.
NIE number before a property transaction
Foreign buyers often need an NIE number in Torrevieja before completing tax, banking or notarial steps connected with a purchase.
Reservation and deposit agreements
Before paying a reservation amount or signing a deposit agreement, it is important to understand the conditions, deadlines, consequences of withdrawal and what documentation has already been checked.
Legal checks on the property
The review may include Land Registry information, ownership, mortgages or charges, cadastral data, local property tax, community-of-owners information and other documents relevant to the transaction.
Taxes and purchase costs
The total budget is not limited to the purchase price. Depending on the property and transaction, taxes, notary, registry, professional fees and other costs should be considered before committing to the purchase.
Buying from abroad
International buyers can often organise a significant part of the process remotely. We coordinate documentation and the professionals involved and explain each step in English so that decisions can be made with clear information.
The information on this page is general. Each situation should be reviewed individually before taking action or making a decision.
