Understanding Payment Schedules and Timelines

Purchasing off-plan involves a structured payment process. A deposit secures the property, followed by staged payments linked to construction milestones. The final payment is due upon completion and issuance of the occupation license. Delays can occur, so factoring in flexibility is advisable. The total time from reservation to handover typically spans 18 to 30 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

What legal protections are in place for off-plan purchases in 2026?
Spanish law mandates bank guarantees or insurance policies from developers. These protect your payments, ensuring you receive your money back if construction doesn't complete as agreed.
What are the typical costs beyond the purchase price?
Budget an additional 10-15% for taxes (VAT/IVA, Stamp Duty/AJD), legal fees, notary, and land registry costs. These apply upon purchase and completion.
Can I secure a mortgage for a new build property?
Yes, you can arrange a mortgage. However, payments are typically required during construction. You'll need to have funds available for these stages, even if a mortgage is planned for the final amount.
What is the role of a bank guarantee in off-plan purchases?
A bank guarantee ensures that any money you pay towards an off-plan property is secured. If the developer fails to complete the project, the bank will return your investment.
How long does it take to complete a new build property purchase?
The process from reservation to completion usually takes between 18 to 30 months, depending on the specific development and construction phase when you reserve.
Are there specific taxes for non-residents buying in Spain in 2026?
Non-residents pay the same purchase taxes as residents. For new builds, this is primarily 10% VAT (IVA) plus 1.2% Stamp Duty (AJD). Ongoing taxes include IBI (local property tax).
What is the difference between new build and resale properties?
New builds are direct from the developer, offering modern design, energy efficiency, and warranties. Resale properties are pre-owned and may offer more established locations but potentially higher maintenance.
