PREPARING YOUR PURCHASE

PRIVATE PURCHASE CONTRACT

We will review the private contract for you prior to you signing it, explain its terms and ramifications to you and advise you on whether or not it is in your interests to sign it.

POWER OF ATTORNEY

We will ask you to provide us with a power of attorney which will allow us to manage the purchase process on your behalf.

NIE NUMBER · (Número de Identidad de Extranjero)

NIE is a Spanish fiscal identification number that is needed before making any transaction in Spain. It can normally be obtained at a police station but we can easily obtain it on your behalf.

You will need a Spanish bank account to purchase a property.

We can do this for you and explain any queries you have regarding the account.

COMPLETING YOUR PURCHASE

PURCHASE COMPLETION

After the completion, the purchase is finished, and the remaining part of the price will have to be paid.
