AS Open Frontiers Real Estate founders, we’re your companions on the journey to owning your dream property in Sotogrande. For first-time buyers, navigating Spanish real estate might seem daunting. That’s why we’ve distilled the process into a concise guide.
Step 1: Put forward an offer.
Choose your haven and secure it with an offer accepted by the seller.
Step 2: Private Contract
Signing the Private Purchase Contract is pivotal. A lawyer is recommended to ensure accuracy and handle property conveyance. Resale properties typically require a 10% payment. ‘Off Plan’ developments can vary from 20% to 40%.
Step 3: Completion
Completion seals your ownership. We facilitate the process, arranging dates, and providing translations during signing.
Costs to Consider
Allocate 11-15% of the purchase price for expenses, covering taxes, VAT, notary costs, lawyer fees, and agency commission. Registering the property within 30 days after completion is vital.
Documents Needed
Passport/ID and National Identification Number (NIE) are essential. Foreign or Spanish company purchases require specific documentation.
