Using Lighthouse makes it easier than ever to buy a house in Spain. We help you avoid all the possible difficulties by guiding you through the process from start to finish, and even beyond with our follow-up service. Lighthouse makes buying in Spain an enjoyable and stress-free experience.
The house-buying process in Spain usually takes far less time than it does in the UK and should follow clear-cut stages. But buying in a foreign country is always a minefield when you are new to the system and unprepared for the various hurdles along the way. What's more, the regulations vary according to the region and even the municipality and you need to be alert to the potential pitfalls of the type of property you are buying, such as the land rights associated with rustic fincas.
Knowing what documents and information you need to gather and what to ask to whom throughout the process is also essential to ensure you get the best deal and a property without problems.
With our step-by-step guide, and the help of a good English-speaking lawyer, you will be prepared to buy any property in Spain.
