Please comment if you have questions about the process and we will answer you here 😁
This lawyer is giving out good information as I have been working in rural property for 31 years. Rural property is completely different to buying a coastal property as there are many different land categories and building categories as well as Areas know as Pecuarias, Veredas, corredores Verdes etc. The only thing I would add to his list is an "Informe Urbanistica" town hall report on the property you want to buy stating that is has been officially approved by the Junta de Andalucia the local government and not just the local town hall.

Hello Harri! Yes for the cash buyer it will be faster because you can skip the entire part about the mortgage. However you still need to go through the other steps like having an NIE number etc. Can you specify what tax you want more info on? As there are quite a few. Normally what we do for our clients is that our lawyer will help you by looking at your situation and give you the best possible options for tax planning wether you are buying a house/apartment/property or also selling one you already own. If you are planning on making income from the property via renting it out etc there are also a few things you will want to look at regarding tax on those incomes. Send us an email to info@nordicmarbellainvest.com and we are happy to look into your situation and connect you with our lawyer.
plz i do need the pdf of the key document
Really good video guys. I watched all of it and also I downloaded the pdf which I will study. I have a question as I am a Spanish person living in the uk. I supposed, I am considered a non resident too if I no longer live in Spain for 182 days. So my question is do I need the NIE or it will be just the DNI that I need in terms of taxes. And my second question is what is the best bank with no conditions for non residents to get a loan?

This is the basics which your lawyer always explains to you. If you are buying to live part time and rent part time, there are many complications which need to be investigated property by property. We were told all the figures an apartment would bring in and signed a reservation but turns out the figures were worth jack sh** because the community had banned tourist letting in those apartments. Ok for friends and family but not advertisable to the general public. After a tussle we were able to pull out but because it only came up after the lawyers had gone a long way towards the conveyance it cost us 1.5K out of the 6K holding deposit.

Hello Oliver, thank you for your question. To answer it short: No you don’t need to pay tax on moving that money. I would also suggest keeping the money in you current account and transferring it directly to the agreed upon account with the seller/realtor. There is no need to make an extra transaction to another account in Spain, this will just cost you extra in terms of bank fees and conversion fees given that your current account is not a euro account. Hope this helps.
How much is annual tax for the proprety? Thanks.

You shouldn’t have to pay any other fees than the ones we have listed here. Unless of course you are talking about cash like physical cash then there might be some kind of handling fee for that by the sellers bank who will have to accept it and verify its real bills etc.

så om man planerar ett köp i framtiden så kan man tjäna på att redan nu ansöka om NIE nummer? kostar det något?

Precis du kan spara tid på att lösa det redan nu. Gör du det själv (via ambassad eller på plats i Spanien) så betalar du endast en skatt på €9.75. Men ger du någon en fullmakt som gör det åt dig exempelvis en advokat så kan dom ta en avgift för det som varierar. 🙂

I just can’t understand that anyone would pay so much for a used holiday home, it’s not better than a used car. 20-30 years old and more. When there are brand new homes for almost the same price and with warranty ! Old things always need DIY and that is so expensive these days both material and labor.

People often buy them for the location and renovate them to increase the value. Also sometimes new production means you need to wait 1-2 years for it to be built. Different homes suit different people depending on life situation, budget and/or if they are looking to make improvements to the home to sell for a larger profit.
