The purchasing process in Spain – explained step by step

Buying a house in Spain is a bit different than in Belgium or the Netherlands, but with the right guidance it is perfectly doable. These are the most important steps:

  1. Determine your wishes – location, type of property, budget
  2. Schedule viewings – on site or online
  3. Sign a reservation contract – to secure your property (with deposit)
  4. Legal check – by a certified lawyer (building permits, title deed, etc.)
  5. Final deed of sale – signing at the notary
  6. Registration and arranging utilities

At MedVilla we make sure you don't miss anything. Transparency and safety are always our top priority

The purchasing process in Spain – explained step by step

Step 1. Searching for your dream home in Spain

Everything starts with a good conversation. Because anyone who wants to buy a house in Spain must first know exactly what they are looking for. Simply fill in our search service or contact us personally by phone or email. As soon as we know your wishes, we will get to work for you and you will quickly receive a tailor-made selection of properties that perfectly match your preferences.

Have you found one or more interesting properties? Then it is time for a viewing trip. We plan this efficiently, so that you can view all the relevant properties in a short time. And you are not alone - one of our experienced real estate agents will accompany you during each viewing. This way you not only get a good impression of the properties, but also a clear explanation about buying a house in Spain..

Do you want to view a property again or continue searching? No problem - we think along with you and adapt to your pace. Our goal is simple: you find your dream home, and we ensure that buying a house in Spain goes smoothly and without worries.

Step 1. Searching for your dream home in Spain

Step 2. Reserve your dream home with a reservation contract

Have you found your ideal home? Then the next step towards buying a house in Spain is signing a reservation contract – certainly the standard procedure for new construction.

Before you sign, we will carefully go through all the financial aspects with you: from purchase costs and taxes to periodic costs such as maintenance or community contributions. This way you know exactly what to expect, without any surprises afterwards.

We will guide you in drawing up the reservation contract and ensure that all conditions are clearly recorded. This contract guarantees that the house will be taken off the market for you for an agreed period, while the legal and administrative matters are initiated.

Buying a house in Spain starts with certainty, and that is exactly what this contract offers. With MedVilla at your side, this step will also be smooth, transparent and completely in your interest.

Step 2. Reserve your dream home with a reservation contract

Step 3. Signing of the preliminary purchase contract

After reserving your dream home, the next important step in the process of buying a house in Spain follows: signing the preliminary purchase contract.

When signing this contract, a deposit of 20 to 40% of the purchase price is usually requested. The amount that you previously paid when making the reservation will of course be deducted from this. In this contract you will also find the agreements about the further processing, including the planned date on which you can receive the keys to your new home.

Important: in order to be able to sign this contract legally, you need an NIE number (Número de Identificación de Extranjero). This identification number is mandatory for foreigners who want to buy a house in Spain. So start the application in time via the Spanish consulate in the Netherlands and Belgium or let one of our lawyers arrange this for you - our brokers will of course inform you about this in good time.

MedVilla ensures that you are well prepared and do not miss a step in the process of buying a house in Spain.

Step 3. Signing of the preliminary purchase contract

Step 4. The official transfer of your house in Spain

The big moment has arrived: the official transfer of your home. A milestone in the process of buying a house in Spain, and one to look forward to. During this step, you will be assisted by your lawyer, who will ensure that all documents are signed correctly at the notary.

Are you unable to be present at the time of transfer? No problem – with a power of attorney, your lawyer can take care of the signing on your behalf. This way, this last legal step will also run smoothly and without stress.

And our service does not stop after the transfer. Whether you have questions about insurance, utilities, renting or the maintenance of your home – our after-sales service is also there for you after buying a house in Spain.

We believe in long-term relationships, not in individual transactions. So do you need anything? Feel free to call or email us – we would like to remain your reliable partner under the Spanish sun.
