These are practical guides to buying property in Spain: how to check a home and its documents, what the reservation and purchase contracts contain, how to get an NIE number, how to pay safely, and what to do after the keys. There are also articles on buying off-plan, choosing between a new build and resale, and selling.
If you buy a new build, the order is usually simple: choose the project, reserve, sign the private contract, pay by stages as the building progresses, then complete at the notary and receive the keys. At each step check who the developer is, the licence, the guarantee on your payments and the registry entry. Read the guides in this section before you pay a deposit, and compare projects in the catalog of new builds.
