14 Apr 2025 What documents do I need to buy a house in Spain if I am a foreigner?

Buying a house in Spain is an exciting decision that requires proper preparation, especially in terms of documentation. If you are a foreigner, it is essential to have the following documents to ensure a smooth transaction:
- Foreigner Identification Number (NIE): This personal and unique number is mandatory for any tax or legal procedure in Spain. You can apply for it at the Immigration Office, at police stations, or at Spanish consulates in your home country.
- Bank account in Spain: Opening a Spanish bank account makes it easier to manage payments related to the purchase, such as taxes and notary fees. To do this, you will need your NIE and a valid passport.
- Financial documentation: Proof of financial solvency may be required, such as recent bank statements or income verification, especially if you plan to finance the purchase with a mortgage.
- Valid passport or ID: Required for identification in all procedures related to the purchase.
In addition, it is advisable to obtain a simple note from the Land Registry, which provides information on the legal status of the property, ensuring it is free from liens or debts.
