For newly built properties, this includes 10% VAT, a 1.5% document fee, as well as notary fees, Spanish Land Registry registration, and legal representation.
For second-hand properties, there is no document fee, but a transfer tax applies—typically 7% in Andalucía and 10% in Valencia—along with notary, Land Registry, and legal fees.

The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is Spain’s identification number for foreigners, similar to a Norwegian social security number. It begins with an "X" or "Y", followed by seven digits and a letter. This unique number is non-transferable and does not have an expiration date.
The NIE is essential for a wide range of activities in Spain, especially for fiscal matters like purchasing property or setting up utility services. It is also required for almost any practical task, such as receiving mail, opening a Spanish bank account, signing contracts, or registering with local authorities. Essentially, the NIE serves as your key identification for living and doing business in Spain.
Buying a new-build property in Spain offers unmatched security and peace of mind. Spanish law guarantees your payments through a bank guarantee, ensuring that your funds are safe throughout the construction process. New properties come with a 10-year construction guarantee, protecting you against significant structural issues. Additionally, appliances are covered by a 2-year warranty, in compliance with EU regulations, and most new homes also offer 1-2 years of warranty on cosmetic details like finishes and fixtures.
Furthermore, new properties are thoroughly inspected by the municipality before being granted the "licencia de primera ocupación" (first occupation license), confirming that the home meets all legal and safety standards. Buyers also have the opportunity to create a "snag list" for any minor defects, which the developer must correct before the final handover. These extensive protections and warranties make new-build properties a smart, hassle-free investment, ensuring you can move into a modern, reliable home with confidence.
The bidding process common in some countries, where multiple potential buyers submit offers, is not typical in Spain. Here, your estate agent will assist in negotiating the final price between the seller and the buyer. For existing properties, the final price is often somewhat lower than the original asking price. However, new-build homes typically have a fixed price.
When you buy a property with furniture, an inventory list will be attached to the purchase contract. This means the seller and buyer have agreed that some or all of the furniture will remain in the home. The inventory list details which specific items are included.
It's important to note that housewares such as carpets, TVs, curtains, lamps, paintings, and decorations are not considered furniture. If you purchase a furnished property, the seller may also leave additional items not listed on the inventory. Should you wish to remove any furniture after moving in, we can help connect you with local companies that can assist with this.
No. The seller is not obliged to have the property cleaned by completion date. But we can always help you get in touch with local cleaning companies after you get access to your new property.
