Agence immobilière à Garrucha,
Vera et Mojácar

No. Buyers pay no agency fees: our commission is paid by the seller. You pay the price of the property plus the usual purchase costs (taxes, notary and land registry).

On top of the price: for a resale property, transfer tax (ITP), which is 7% in Andalusia; for a new build, VAT (10%) plus stamp duty (AJD, 1.2%). Notary, land registry and, if you use one, a gestor usually add around 1–2%. These are guide figures: confirm them with your adviser before signing.

Yes. Every foreign buyer needs an NIE (foreigner identification number) to sign at the notary and pay the taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your country or at a police station in Spain; many buyers ask a gestor or a lawyer to handle it. Allow a few weeks.

No. Buying a property does not give you the right to live in Spain, and the "golden visa" that granted residency for property investment was abolished in April 2025. UK and other non-EU citizens can stay up to 90 days in any 180 without a visa; for longer stays you need a visa, such as the non-lucrative visa.

In Andalusia a holiday let must be registered in the Andalusian Tourism Register, and since July 2025 it also needs the national rental registration number to be advertised on platforms. Communities of owners can now restrict new holiday lets, so it is worth checking the community rules before you buy.
