1. Research

It’s always best to try to do as much research before you arrive in Spain – check the internet to get an idea of what your budget will buy and research the area of your property search.

2. Engage

Once you have a clear idea of what you want it is time to speak to professionals who can guide your search. It is vital to first speak to an independent lawyer who can explain the process and how to avoid any pitfalls.

3. Property Search

Your property search will be greatly aided by enlisting the services of a reputable estate agent. Look for agents who have a physical presence (such as an office) in your chosen area and who have been in business for an appreciable period of time.

4. RESERVATION

Once you find the property you want to buy you will usually be asked to pay a reservation deposit. This removes the property from the market and fixes the agreed price.

5. COMPLETION

Once you have signed the Reservation Contract BENCH & CO will conduct searches to ensure the vendor is the legal owner and there are no debts or charges against the property.

6. THE Notary

The deal is finalised in front of a Notary who acts as a witness to the signing. The Notary is a representative of the state whose duty is to ensure procedures are followed.
