Buying property in Málaga City

Buying property in Spain involves several legal and financial steps. International buyers will generally require an NIE number and should budget for taxes, notary fees, registration costs and independent legal advice in addition to the agreed purchase price.

Before purchasing a property, buyers should verify legal ownership, planning permissions, community fees, outstanding debts and the overall condition of the property.

Working with an experienced local estate agency together with an independent lawyer helps buyers understand the purchase process and avoid unexpected issues before completion.
