🏡 Buying Property in Altea, Spain: How Our Licensed Agency Makes It Easy

Dreaming of a home in Altea, Spain? Whitewashed streets, Mediterranean views, and a vibrant expat community make it a top choice on the Costa Blanca. But buying property here involves legal steps that can feel overwhelming — and that’s where our licensed real estate agency comes in.

We handle the legal due diligence for you, making the process smooth and worry-free. And if you prefer, you can also hire an independent lawyer for extra peace of mind.

✅ Step 1: Get Your NIE Quickly and Easily

Before buying, non-Spanish residents need a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero). This number is essential for:

• Signing contracts
• Paying taxes
• Registering utilities

We guide you through the NIE process to save time and hassle.

🔍 Step 2: Legal Due Diligence — Done by Our Licensed Agency

In Spain, a licensed agency can handle legal checks that in other countries are usually done by a lawyer. Our checks include:

• Title verification: Ensure the property is free of liens or disputes
• Urban planning & licenses: Confirm the property complies with local regulations
• Community charges: Check there are no unpaid fees if it’s part of a shared building

💡 Optional: For extra reassurance, buyers can hire a lawyer — but it’s not required.

💼 Step 3: Reserve Your Dream Home

Once you choose your property:

• Sign a reservation agreement with a small deposit (€3,000–€6,000)
• Proceed to the private purchase contract (typically 10–30% of the price)

We make sure contracts are clear, fair, and legally compliant.

💰 Step 4: Know the Taxes and Fees

Buying property in Altea involves some costs, including:

• Transfer Tax (ITP): ~10% for resale homes
• VAT (IVA): 10% for new builds + 1.5% stamp duty
• Notary & Land Registry fees

We explain every cost upfront — no surprises.

🏛️ Step 5: Sign the Deeds & Become the Owner

The Escritura Pública is signed at the notary. After this, the property is officially yours.

Our agency handles:

• Document preparation
• Payments
• Registration at the Land Registry

✅ Result: A smooth, stress-free process from start to finish.

---

⚖️ Step 6: Optional Independent Legal Support

Even though our agency covers legal due diligence, some buyers prefer hiring a lawyer for added confidence. We can recommend trusted Spanish lawyers if desired.
