The buying process for international buyers in Spain

Buyers from outside Spain need three core items: an NIE number, a Spanish bank account, and a lawyer specialising in Spanish property law – for Benahavís ultra-luxury transactions, lawyers experienced in cross-border structuring (Spanish SL, international trusts, residency planning) are standard. Typical buy-side costs run 10 to 13 percent of the purchase price (VAT/IVA 10%, stamp duty AJD 1.2%, notary, land registry, legal fees). The 2022 Andalusian wealth-tax reform effectively eliminated the regional wealth tax for non-resident buyers entering the Spanish luxury market.
