Buying property in Nerja

Buying property in Spain involves several legal and financial steps. International buyers 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, outstanding debts, community fees and the general condition of the property.

Working with an experienced local estate agency together with an independent lawyer helps buyers understand the process and complete their purchase with confidence.
