Tips

Our professional economist can advise you about starting a company, about taxes, number plate transfer if you brought your car, procedures if you want to work autonomous and registration in the relevant community (empadronamiento), etc.

To buy a property you need a NIE (numero de identificacion de estranjero). This is an obligatory tax number for foreigners. An economist or lawyer can order this NIE for you (approx. 150 euros per person).

In general, we recommend that our clients consult a lawyer to accompany them through the purchase. Our trustworthy and acknowledged solicitor can confer with you about the buying process. He would examine all the necessary documents pertaining to the property such as: if the property is free from any denunciations, debts, loans and encumbrances and occupants, and up-to-date in payment of taxes and rates, the identical register in register of landed property and land registry office, legality of the building and if relevant building permit, boundaries, etc. He draws up the option contract and will accompany you and us to the notary. For this service there is usually a 10% charge of the purchase price.
