Brokers
The mortgage and broker systems in Spain differ significantly from those in the UK. A knowledgeable broker can simplify dealings with local banks and solicitors, ensuring you understand all terms in Spanish. However, keep in mind that brokers in Spain are unregulated, meaning anyone can set up as one. Look for brokers with an office who are SL registered (similar to a limited company). Request their certificates and qualifications. You might also need to open a bank account in Spain or a multi-currency account.
Legal Professionals
A bilingual solicitor experienced in Spanish property law is essential. Any documents requiring a signature or payment should be reviewed by your solicitor. If you won’t be living in Spain, appoint a fiscal representative to handle government correspondence?"your lawyer is a great option. You might also hire a gestor, a local expert who assists with legal forms, permits, and financial matters. Consulting a UK financial advisor for tax issues is wise, especially if you plan to rent out your property.
Estate Agents
Officially registered and licensed estate agents are invaluable resources. With their local knowledge, they can guide you in finding and purchasing the right property. There are numerous agents dealing in Spanish real estate online. Ensure they are licensed and fluent in English.
By working with these professionals, you can confidently navigate the Spanish property market and enjoy your new holiday home in Europe.
