Foreign buyers can acquire property in Spain, subject to the buyer, asset, location, source of funds, tax position, and any applicable restrictions or authorisations. Purchase does not prove that land is buildable. Before signing, obtain independent legal and tax advice and complete title, planning, survey, access, utility, and technical checks. See our guides to land due diligence and building a home.
What documents you need
A foreign buyer may need a NIE and transaction-specific banking, notarial, tax, legal, and professional arrangements. Requirements and processing routes depend on the buyer and transaction. Confirm the current steps with the responsible Spanish authorities and independent legal and tax advisers before setting a purchase deadline.
