Can I complete the purchase remotely?
Yes. The entire process can be done without traveling to Spain. All steps — including signing documents — can be carried out via power of attorney.
Is a Spanish bank account required?
It is recommended but not mandatory. If banks deny account opening, we offer alternative legal structures using licensed financial intermediaries.
What are your fees?
Our fee ranges from 3% to 5% of the property price. This includes legal due diligence, full transaction support, and access to exclusive deals.
What taxes apply to commercial property purchases?
Depending on the deal, taxes range from 6% to 21%, plus notary and legal fees. Some properties qualify for reduced tax rates (as low as 2.5%) under special investment regimes.
Can foreigners open bank accounts in Spain?
Yes — with proper KYC documentation and legal support. We assist in preparing the full client file and liaise with banks directly.
Where is ROI higher — Barcelona or Madrid?
Both cities offer strong returns (5–8% average). Higher yields (10–15%+) are possible through redevelopment or value-add projects. Each case requires individual analysis.
Is real estate in Spain inheritable?
Yes. All property can be inherited. We advise structuring ownership in advance for tax efficiency and succession planning.
