What happens now Next House Almeria has found me my dream home?

Congratulations! Once you have found your dream home with the expert help of Next House Almeria, the agents will guide you through the next phase. You will have assistance during price negotiations to get your offer accepted and, once an agreement is reached, the team will prepare a reserve contract that will take the property off the market.

A €3,000 deposit is paid to secure your new property, followed by the 10 per cent purchase contract checked over by your solicitor and signed by all parties (usually within one month from the reserved contract).

The final stage on your exciting journey is completion at the notary, where you will take ownership of your new home (usually within a maximum of three months from the reservation).

What documents are required for a non-resident to purchase property in Almeria?

The documents required when purchasing property in Spain are:

• Your Foreigner Identification Number (NIE). You can apply for your NIE number at the Office of Foreigners in Spain or through a representative with Power of Attorney (such as a solicitor)
• A Spanish bank account. This is required for the accreditation of the means of payment for the buyer purchasing a property, as well as for the payment of the following costs and taxes. To open a current account, you will need your NIE and a valid passport

Next House Almeria can help you save money on your transfers and will put you in contact with the best money exchange companies.

What fees will I need to pay when purchasing a property in Almeria?

You should add approximately 10 per cent on top of the selling price of the property to cover things such as:

• ITP Taxes (Property Transfer Tax) which is 8 per cent of the value declared in the Deeds (Escritura)
• Notary and Land Registry fees, approximately 1.5 per cent of the property value
• Solicitor´s fees, usually around €1,200, depending on the work required
• If the property is a new build, instead of the purchase tax, there is a VAT charge of 10 per cent
• If you are purchasing with a mortgage there are some extra costs to take into account

At present, the purchase tax in Andalucia has dropped to 7 per cent and, depending on the area and the property, it could be even cheaper. You can find out more about this tax by contacting Next House Almeria.
