Legal and Buying Guide to Property in Spain

Introduction:

The idea of owning a property in Spain is very attractive – over the next five years it is estimated that 1.5 million foreigners will buy property in Spain. It can also seem very daunting. The key is to get good professional guidance and that is where we, at Home Espana, can help. We can guide you through each step of the process and ensure that all transactions take place as smoothly and easily as possible.

Buying a property in Spain now is much simpler than in the past, largely thanks to the existence of the European Union which has helped level the playing field in terms of legal and financial processes. UK buyers, however, must still take into account fluctuations in the exchange rate between Sterling and Euros, and there are still significant differences between buying a house in the UK and buying a house in Spain, and –as ever- there are pitfalls to be avoided. Home Espana has the expertise to help you avoid these difficulties, and it is our intention to guide you from start to finish: from the moment you start looking for a property, to the day you move in. Our friendly and experienced staff have one aim in mind: your total satisfaction as our valued customer.
