What is worth knowing about renting? FAQ

Is it possible to book an apartment / apartment without seeing it first?

Yes, if the client doesn't want to risk the property selling before their arrival, they can book remotely. This involves paying the reservation fee (min. €6,000) via bank transfer and signing the reservation agreement electronically.

What are the costs of buying property in Spain?

Purchasing a property in Spain requires additional costs of approximately 13% to be added to the selling price. These include property tax, notary fees, property registration fees, and utility bills. If the property purchase is supported by a mortgage, bank fees must also be added.

After booking the property, our clients receive a detailed cost breakdown prepared by a law firm.

What is an N.I.E. number and how can I get one?

An N.I.E. (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) is an identification number issued to foreigners in Spain. It is required for many formalities, including purchasing a property. This number is assigned to the individual for life and does not change over time.

The documents required to obtain an N.I.E. include a valid ID, passport or national ID card, and two recent passport-sized photos. You must also provide the reason for applying for the N.I.E., which may be the reservation or purchase of property in Spain.

Our office, in cooperation with a law firm, provides its clients with assistance in obtaining an N.I.E. number.

What is the deed in Spain?

According to the Spanish Civil Code and Spanish law, a written contract of sale and purchase is in the form of a notarial deed, concluded with a notary public in Spanish. The process of preparing the notarial deed itself takes place at the time of visiting the notary public, just before signing the notarial deed. This is a generally accepted standard in Spain. It is not possible to obtain a copy of the model of a notarial deed before signing it. Besides, the functioning of the land register in Spain does not differ from the functioning of the Polish Land Register. The documents needed to complete the purchase / sale transaction are the so-called ESCRITURA, i.e. a notarial document confirming ownership and listing the owner. As described above, the very moment of signing the Title Deed does not differ much from the procedure in Poland.

Can I move into my new home in Spain before signing the deed?

The official handing over of the keys takes place on the date of the notarial deed and only after that you can move into your dream property.

Will all fees be charged to my Spanish account?

After the purchase, we will rewrite all formalities in your name to your account number so that everything is automatically downloaded and you do not have to worry about receiving your mail.

Can you get a mortgage in Spain?

In many cases, you need to take out a mortgage from a Spanish bank. The loan can be obtained by residents of Spain and foreigners. At the moment, we will not receive a mortgage in Poland for the purchase of real estate located abroad. There is only one exception when real estate in Poland is the security.

How long should I travel to view the property?

3 days is enough for sightseeing and possibly one more day to complete the preliminary formalities.

Is it possible to reserve a property without making an advance payment?

It's not possible to reserve a property in Spain "on the word." To reserve a property, os required to pay a minimum deposit. This applies to resale and new build market.

Do you help in completing the formalities?

We provide comprehensive customer service and help in completing all formalities, from the very beginning until the notarial deed is signed. In addition, we run an after-sales service, i.e. after the purchase, we help in all matters that the client will contact us with. Our help and care will last as long as you need it. Our CUSTOMERS are always welcome in our office.

What are the annual costs of maintaining a property in Spain?

Property maintenance costs include:

  • property tax (IBI), paid annually,
  • utility fees,
  • and the condominium association fee (comunidad), the frequency of which is determined by the administrator.
What is the date of the notarial deed?

On the date of the notarial deed, we first go to the bank to write out a check in the name of the owner or developer. Then we go to a notary public, where your notarial deed is first interpreted by a Polish-Spanish translator cooperating with us. Then, in the presence of a notary public, the check is officially handed over to the owner and signed by all parties involved in the notarial deed.

Do I need to open an account with a Spanish bank?

Yes, we will open an account for you in one of the best Spanish banks. You will need an account for the purchase and then for the ongoing utility bills.

How does the office obtain real estate from private owners?

We care about the selection of our offers, most of which are exclusive offers. We employ people who work only for our office and daily obtain offers directly from the owners to provide you with a variety of first-hand offers and at the most competitive prices on the market. We try to avoid obtaining offers in the way most Polish offices do, i.e. from Spanish or English real estate agencies operating on the market. In this way, we have first-hand offers and avoid unnecessary intermediaries, which is why our prices are so attractive and we have no problem obtaining all the documentation of the offers we sell.

How can I be sure that the offers are not mortgaged or have an unclear situation?

It is the responsibility of our office to check all available offers before publishing on our website and obtaining the necessary documentation. If a property has an unclear situation, we do not release it for sale, providing you with the maximum level of security.

How is an investment visit performed?

Knowing your criteria in advance, we arrange a visit tailored to your needs a few days before your arrival so that all offers meet your requirements and that we do not waste time on the spot watching something that may not be of interest to you.
