CasaLasDunas – Your Real Estate Agent in Spain
Please note that real estate agents in Spain operate differently from those in the country you may be coming from. As real estate agents in Spain, we list properties and negotiate prices with the sellers. We then offer these properties (incl. commission) through our property portfolio on the website. For you as a client, it is important to know that we are a registered real estate agency (including membership of API professional). You therefore have the certainty that everything is handled correctly and according to regulations.
Below you can find a detailed step-by-step guide on how we work:
Our Step-by-Step Guide to Buying a Property in Spain
- Get in touch: Contact us via our contact form or schedule a free consultation.
- Share your wishes and preferences: Fill out the wishes form in advance.
- Scheduling an appointment: If desired, we are happy to arrange a completely non-binding appointment with you at our office (in Spain).
- Intake meeting: If you decide to proceed with us, we will first discuss important aspects such as location, property type, budget, etc.
- Plan a viewing program: How many days would you like to view properties, and how many per day?
- Evaluation: At the end of each viewing day, we review the day together and, if needed, adjust the schedule for the next day.
- Preliminary agreement: Once you have found your dream home, a reservation contract can be signed. After the reservation fee has been paid, the property is taken off the market.
- Legal status check: This includes investigation of the registration of the plot and property, legal ownership, title deed, possible mortgages or third-party rights, and ensuring the property is free of debts.
- Apply for an NIE number: The Número de Identificación de Extranjero is required for every purchase. These costs are included in the purchase expenses.
- Open a Spanish bank account: Together with you, we open your own Spanish bank account. Even if the property is intended as an investment or second home, we strongly recommend opening a Spanish bank account.
- Notary and final purchase: A Spanish Notary (Notario) prepares the Escritura de Compraventa (property purchase deed). You pay the remaining balance of the property via the bank. After signing, you become the legal owner, and the property is registered in the land registry.
