Some key concepts to consider when investing in Spanish property are:
Ensure you are fully aware of the property laws in Spain, every country is different. You don’t want to find your dream property only to have it fall through at the last hurdle.
Spain launched its golden visa programme in 2012 where investors need to spend a minimum of €500,000 in real estate to apply for residency. It is not necessary to live in Spain in order to retain and renew the residency visa permit.
Looking to buy property to rent out in Spain? You will have to make sure that the local region of Spain allows this. Some regions such as the Balearic Islands ‘have stringent regulations whereby a special licence is required to rent.’
Depending on what property you are selling will determine who you are targeting.
