As this is a new-build property, IVA applies at 10% instead of the resale transfer tax. On EUR 316,012 that is approximately EUR 31,601. You should also allow EUR 600 to EUR 1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400 to EUR 800 for land registry registration, and around 1% plus VAT for independent legal advice. Total purchase costs typically add 12 to 14% to the price.

We recommend obtaining independent legal advice on current licensing requirements before purchasing with a rental intention.

You will first need an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero), which is a Spanish tax identification number required for all property transactions. Once you have agreed the purchase, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit paid to secure the property. This is followed by a private purchase contract with a further staged payment, and finally completion before a Spanish notary, at which point the keys are handed over and the title deed is signed.
