Tax advice and legal due diligence for property purchases in Spain.
Buying property in Spain as an international client means navigating purchase taxes, legal due diligence, urbanistic legality and ongoing ownership obligations that are easy to underestimate.
We advise buyers through every stage, so nothing is missed and there are no surprises after completion.
Buying, selling or owning property in Spain has tax implications that are easy to underestimate: purchase taxes, capital gains on sale, rental income and Wealth Tax, planned before you commit.
Owning in Spain as a non-resident brings annual tax obligations whether or not you use or rent the property. We handle Modelo 210 and rental income declarations.
Inheritance and gift tax varies by region. We advise on tax-efficient ownership, including company structures and gifting, and support you if a transaction is reviewed.
Buying without proper legal due diligence is one of the most common and costly mistakes international buyers make. A property can be fully registered yet partly illegal, charges may not be immediately visible, and the Property Registry does not guarantee planning compliance.
Title, charges, urbanistic legality, planning status and contract terms, before you sign anything. For rural and older properties we recommend a specialist urbanistic audit, and near the sea a Coastal Law certificate.
We advise on the tax implications of the purchase, help with NIE applications and accompany you through the signing before the notary and the registration that follows.
Our goal is simple: you complete knowing exactly what you have bought and what it will cost to own.
We give you a clear breakdown of every tax and fee, and check the property before you sign anything.
