Making an offer
If you are sure you have found the right property, make an offer directly to the estate agent. If it is accepted, you must make a down payment and sign the deposit or reservation contract.

NIE number
This is an identification number which Spanish Law requires any non-Spanish resident to have and, importantly, it is a Notary requirement in order to be able to complete any purchase or mortgage in Spain for non-residents.

Conveyance
After our solicitors have checked the legal title and made appropriate searches to check that there is nothing that would adversely affect the property and its value, they will arrange the deeds in the notary and ensure previous outstanding debts, if any, are cancelled.

Arranging property valuation
The property valuation is a very important stage of the buying process. On one hand, it can influence the amount you can borrow in your mortgage in Spain for non-residents, and on the other hand, it helps you guarantee that the purchase price is adequate. An authorized surveyor (property valuer) will visit the property and will draw up a survey report.
