Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical timeline for a new build property in 2026?
Construction typically takes 18 to 36 months from the start date. The process from reservation to completion can extend over this period, allowing for staggered payments.
What legal protections are in place for off-plan buyers in 2026?
Developers must provide a bank guarantee or insurance policy covering all payments made by the buyer until the property is ready for handover. This safeguards your investment.
What are the main costs besides the property price?
Expect to pay approximately 10-15% on top of the purchase price for taxes (VAT">IVA, Stamp Duty) and notary/registration fees. These are standard for new builds in Spain.
Can I get a mortgage for a new build under €250,000?
Yes, Spanish banks typically offer mortgages of up to 60-80% of the purchase price for non-residents, and up to 90% for residents, on new build properties.
What is the role of a bank guarantee?
The bank guarantee ensures that if the developer fails to complete the project, you will receive a full refund of all payments made towards the property.
What is the difference between reservation and purchase contract?
The reservation fee secures the property, while the private purchase contract (Contrato de Arras) is a legally binding agreement outlining terms, price, and payment schedule, usually signed after the initial deposit.
Are there any hidden costs in 2026 for new builds?
Beyond the purchase price and associated taxes/fees, costs are minimal. Ensure your contract clearly states what is included, such as fitted kitchens. Community fees apply after purchase.
How do I view properties if I can't visit in person?
We offer virtual tours and can arrange for a trusted representative to inspect properties on your behalf. Detailed video calls with developers are also possible.
