What is the process of buying property in Spain as a non-resident?
Foreigners can freely purchase real estate in Spain. To start, you’ll need an NIE number (a foreign tax ID), choose a property, and sign a reservation contract. A local lawyer will handle the due diligence. Once verified, you pay a deposit and sign the title deed at the notary. The entire process typically takes 4–8 weeks.
At Sun Properties Marbella, we guide international clients through every step – from viewing to legal advice – ensuring a safe and stress-free buying experience. You can also read our guide to getting your NIE number here.
