Buying a house in Spain
Have you been haunted for years…by a
recurrent vision of a sun fringed Spanish
Hacienda and you in a hammock in the shade
of a Jacaranda tree…with no have-to-do’s –
besides listening to the cicadas and
contemplating life?
Maybe you simply need a change in your life to
feel alive again. Maybe you are fed up with
rainy days or maybe buying a house in Spain
has been on your to do list for years, and now
you finally know that the time is right!
Whatever the reason - it is very exiting setting
up a home or a holiday home in a foreign
country.
And because of the recession the time is right -
it’s a buyers market. But however cheap the
house is, you have to make room in your
budget for extra expenses.
In Spain the extra expenses involved in buying
a house in Spain tend to add up to about 10%
of the purchase price of the property itself.

These include the services of legal advisors,
translators, taxes, possible mortgage
expenses and, most importantly, the services
of a notary. The notario is the person
responsible for drawing up the deeds
(escritura), the tax due (registro catastral) and
the registration of the names of the new
owners in the Spanish property register
(registro de la propiedad). and tax register
(registro catastral); he charges fees to the
vendor and purchaser, according to a fee
schedule set by the government
Another thing to keep in mind is the exchange rate. If you want to avoid having to check
exchange rates daily, consider paying for the services of a professional exchange company
that can get the best deal for you. CurrenciesDirect.com comes much recommended. You
tell them what exchange rate you are looking for and they will tell you when it comes up - so
that you can make a quick purchase. They can also arrange a regular currency transfer - at
commercial rates to cover loans or mortgages.
Although Spain is a large country with a diverse landscape Southern Spain does have the
best climate, with more than 300 days of sunshine a year. This attracts a steady rise in the
numbers of foreigners settling happily along the 100 miles (160 kms) of developed coastline.
The most expensive areas are from Malaga to Marbella and the area east of Malaga tend to
be a lot cheaper – even though it is becoming more and more popular.
