What do I have to pay in addition to the purchase price?
There are various taxes, registration and legal fees to pay for example:
- VAT (IVA)
- Property Registration Fee (Registro de Propiedad)
- Public Notary’s Fee (Notario)
- Spanish Lawyer (Abogado) and Fiscal Identity Registration (NIF or NIE Numbers)
- Initial Contracts for supply of Electricity, Water and Gas
We will provide a breakdown and assessment covering the above items, when you have found a property you wish to buy and prior to proceeding with the purchase; In addition, we always advise and recommend that you engage the services of an Independent Spanish Lawyer, preferably practising in the area in which the property in question is located (Lists available through our local offices). As a general guide for the moment, one should budget for 10% to 12% of the property price to cover the above costs.
