To buy a Real Estate in Spain you have to find the professional Real Estate agents and thats not easy. Most of them are non reliable and don't know anything about the real estate business and the market. Even the very well known companies e.g. E+V, they are good in Marketing but their staff is limited, same with Solvia. At the end the additional value to work with a agency is missing in 90% of the cases. And most of these agencies are working only from Monday to Friday. Good luck for everyone to find the good guys Many times its easier to buy directly from the owner.

[@feroxartem]

I found its super hard to get in to a contact with an owner. From what Ive seen online its mostly agencies and nobody bothering to reply.

[@brenchomsky3515]

First make sure your target property is legal that it is registered in the city hall.

You forgot the Philippines which was a colony of Spain from 1521 to 1898; in fact, Magellan was killed in the Phils. She lost it to the US after the Spanish-American War of 1898.

You forget to mention that cheap is for a reason a lot of times.... noisy/dangerous neighbours and area, apartment in buildings with structural issues and also messy paperwork. So to all reading this, make sure to do your homework properly before commiting to buy a "cheap" apartment in Spain.

[@traveleconomics]

You have some valid points. But the main point that they are cheap is that rural areas in Spain are facing a population decline. Even a nice house can be cheap if there's no people to buy it. Liquidity is very low.

Great content thank you. I do wish you would use inexpensive instead of cheap. My pet peeve of course.

[@traveleconomics]

Hi Claudia. It is a very good point you have made. Inexpensive is definitely a better word to describe properties with low prices. The reason why I basically have to use "cheap" is because the keyword cheap property has a much wider range than the keyword inexpensive property. Since the goal is to bring knowledge to a broader audience, I have to use "cheap" for statistical reasons. To sum it up I wish I would use "inexpensive" too haha

@@XRPSwan you don't need to buy the property to get the NIE. You can get a non-resident NIE just by showing you have the intention to buy a property (before buying it).

Sorry but this info is not accurate. They don’t give mortgages for less than 50,000 euros so forget about it. I been trying to find something decent in different places of spain in the last 2 months and either you got the cash plus the closing fees and taxes. Most Spanish people won’t do seller to buying loan options. They got the rent to sell option but is very high prices and must buy the place in less than 5 years and if you don’t. You lose the cash and the property. Plus if you don’t have a nie number you can’t buy in here. I’m very frustrated!

I just can’t understand that anyone would pay so much for a used holiday home, it’s not better than a used car. 20-30 years old and more. When there are brand new homes for almost the same price and with warranty ! Old things always need DIY and that is so expensive these days both material and labor.

[@aNeutrino]

Can you provide link to some page or some offers with this as you said "Brand new homes for almost same price with warranty", please ?

[@traveleconomics]

An used car has absolutely nothing to do with an "used" holiday home. Most cars lose 80% of their selling price in the first 10 years after sold as new. An "used" holiday home is unlikely to lose much of its value in the first 10 years, in some cars its price may even appreciate.

[@svenssvensson9024]

@@traveleconomics the thing is that you can look at a 20-30 year old house or flat that is outdated and needs lots of DIY and new materials but that is only cosmetics. The building standards were not the same, windows, roofs, bathrooms, pipes, electricity, just like a used car it’s easy to make a temporary fix and put a new surface on it. But when pipes or roofs and so on begin to leak you will end up paying a lot more for your old house or flat than if you did buy a brand new at almost the same price. Very risky business buying used houses and flats.
