Typical Timelines and Payment Structures

Purchasing off-plan in 2026 requires understanding typical timelines and payment schedules. Initial reservation fees secure your property, followed by staged payments during construction. The final payment, including mortgage settlement if applicable, is due upon completion and handover. This phased approach allows buyers to manage their finances effectively over the development period.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical completion date for new builds in 2026?
Construction timelines for new builds in 2026 typically range from 12 to 24 months from the start of construction. Off-plan purchases allow you to secure a property during its development phase.
Are there additional costs beyond the purchase price for new builds?
Yes, factor in VAT (IVA) at 10% for new builds, plus Stamp Duty (AJD), notary fees, land registry fees, and legal costs, typically adding 12-15% to the purchase price.
What legal protections are in place for off-plan buyers in 2026?
Spanish law mandates developers to provide bank guarantees or insurance covering all payments made before handover. This protects your funds if the project is not completed as agreed.
Can I get a mortgage for a new build under €250,000?
Yes, mortgages are available for new builds. Lenders typically finance up to 60-80% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower. Pre-approval is advisable.
What is the difference between new build and resale properties?
New builds are direct from the developer, offering modern specifications and warranties. Resale properties are existing homes, often in established areas, with a different buying process and associated taxes.
How do I reserve a new build property under €250,000?
You typically pay a small reservation fee (around €3,000-€6,000) to take the property off the market. This is followed by a larger deposit upon signing the private purchase contract.
Can I view properties that are still under construction?
Yes, developers often provide show homes or virtual tours of similar completed properties. Site visits to ongoing construction can sometimes be arranged, following safety protocols.
