How many properties have a pool in Spain?
Can non-residents get a mortgage in Spain?
Often yes—many Spanish banks lend to non-residents, typically based on income, age, credit profile, and the property valuation. Non-resident mortgages commonly require more documentation (proof of income, tax returns, bank statements, ID) and may offer a lower loan-to-value than resident mortgages.
Expect the bank to commission an official valuation and to review the property’s legal status before final approval. If speed matters, get a mortgage assessment early and coordinate timelines with your lawyer so the financing conditions match the purchase contract dates.
We recommend speaking with a mortgage broker to understand the application process and get access to the latest mortgage deals in Spain.
What is the property buying process in Spain?
A typical Spain purchase follows:
(1) offer accepted,
(2) reservation agreement and deposit,
(3) legal due diligence (Land Registry checks via nota simple, debts, planning/licences, community fees),
(4) private contract (often “arras”) with a larger deposit,
(5) completion at the Notary where funds are transferred and the escritura is signed, and
(6) registration at the Registro de la Propiedad.
You should avoid paying significant deposits before a lawyer confirms title, charges, and planning status—especially for rural homes or properties with extensions.
