BUYING IN SPAIN

Buy in Spain with a clear plan

Personal guidance from the first search to the keys at the notary.

Registered real estate intermediation: RAICV 6416.

HOW WE WORK

A good purchase is built step by step

Most buyers start with photos, prices and a few favourite towns. That is normal, but it is not enough for a confident purchase in Spain.

You also need to understand purchase costs, documents, legal checks, yearly expenses, financing, reservation conditions, notary timing and the practical work after completion.

CasaViva Costa brings structure to that process. We help you compare homes calmly, understand the risks before you sign and choose a property that fits your real plans.

We do not push a property because it looks attractive online.

We help you decide whether it is the right home, at the right price, with the right checks.

Process

The CasaViva Costa buying route

The exact details can differ per resale, new-build or finca, but this is the route we keep clear from start to finish.

01

First conversation

We start with your reason for buying: holiday use, relocation, investment, retirement, family life or a future move.

We also discuss timing, budget, preferred areas, property type, financing and anything that would make a home unsuitable.

02

Budget and purchase costs

The purchase price is only part of the decision.

We help you think through transfer tax or VAT, notary, land registry, lawyer, mortgage costs, furniture, improvements, community fees and yearly running costs.

03

Search profile and shortlist

We turn your wishes into a practical search profile.

That means budget, area, property type, bedrooms, outside space, distance to services, beach, golf, countryside, schools, rental potential and maintenance level.

04

Viewing plan

If you travel to Spain, we help keep the viewing days realistic.

A good route is not about seeing as many doors as possible. It is about comparing the right homes without losing the details.

05

Viewing and daily evaluation

During viewings we look beyond decoration and photos.

We pay attention to condition, orientation, access, noise, layout, community rules, renovation needs, outside space and whether the home really fits the way you want to live.

06

Offer strategy

When you want to make an offer, we help you stay realistic.

The offer should be based on the property, the market, the documents, the seller's position, your financing and the conditions you need.

07

Reservation and conditions

If buyer and seller agree, the reservation must be clear.

We help you understand the price, deposit, deadlines, included items, document checks and what should happen if an important issue appears.

08

Legal and document checks

Before completion, the legal side needs proper attention.

This can include ownership, debts, land registry, cadastral details, licences, energy certificate, IBI or SUMA, community costs and special risks with land, pools, extensions or outbuildings.

09

NIE, bank and payment planning

Foreign buyers usually need a NIE number and a clear payment route.

Depending on your case, you may also need a Spanish bank account, mortgage approval, power of attorney, tax advice or extra document preparation.

10

Notary, registration and keys

The final purchase is signed before the Spanish notary.

After signing, the deed is registered, taxes are handled and the practical handover begins. We stay involved so the last steps remain understandable.

11

After-sales and settling in

A purchase does not end when you receive the keys.

We can help you think through utilities, insurance, internet, furniture, moving, local services, rental licence questions and practical next steps after completion.

WHAT WE CHECK

The details that protect your decision

Every property is different, so the checks are not identical every time.

A town apartment, a villa in a community, a new-build unit and a finca on rustic land each need a different level of attention.

  • ownership and title deed
  • debts, charges or mortgages
  • land registry and cadastral match
  • IBI or SUMA and community costs
  • energy certificate and licences
  • registered built area, plot and outbuildings
  • pool, extensions, access, water and electricity when relevant
  • included furniture, fixtures and completion timing

The right checks reduce surprises before you sign, not after.

AFTER THE KEYS

We keep the practical side visible

Buyers often underestimate what happens after the notary.

Utilities, insurance, internet, furniture, moving, tax registration, community contacts and local services can all take time if they are not planned.

CasaViva Costa keeps those next steps visible so the purchase feels complete instead of unfinished.

The best buying process ends with a home that is ready for real life.
