Guide and information for the overseas property buyers buying a property in Spain
Spainish mortgages do not need to be a song and a dance!
Spanish property
Often buyers have a variety of reasons for buying a home in Spain. For example, many people buy a holiday home with an idea of living there permanently or semi-permanently after they retire. If this is the case, there are many more factors to take into account other than simply buying a holiday home that you will occupy for just a few weeks a year. If, on the other hand, you plan to work or start a business in Spain, you will be faced with a whole different set of criteria.
Legal advice
Take care and get legal advice before signing any documents. A lot of property in Spain is sold before building has even started, in which case you will need to get proof of planning permission and plans of the property itself, and often foreign people sign contracts thinking they are expressing a formal interest in building plans whereas in fact they are legally binding themselves to a house purchase.
More and more people buying property in Spain consider taking out a mortgage with a Spanish bank to finance their purchase in this country.
