When considering a property purchase in Spain, questions will naturally arise – both big and small. Here you'll find clear, experience-based answers drawn from many years of working with Norwegian clients at Las Colinas Golf & Country Club.
This is a space for clarity, reassurance, and understanding. For formal or legal matters, we always recommend speaking with qualified professionals.
This section covers the entire journey – from your first contact with us to receiving the keys to your new home. You’ll find answers on how to get started, what documentation is required, which practical steps need to be taken, and how the process is carried out securely and predictably.
It begins with a personal and informal conversation with us at Las Colinas Nordic. We’ll map out your needs and recommend properties that suit you. From there, you can either join a viewing trip or reserve digitally.
A viewing trip is not mandatory, but it’s the best way to experience the resort and properties firsthand. We offer a subsidised package that includes accommodation at the resort, airport transfers, and a tailored itinerary. If you choose to buy, the full cost of the trip is refunded.
The timeline varies depending on the type of property. For completed homes, handover can take place within a few weeks after contracts are signed. For off-plan or under-construction properties, the timeline is typically 12–18 months. We’ll guide you through every step of the process.
Yes, you can. Many clients choose to reserve remotely. We provide detailed presentations, floorplans, videos, and live video tours. All contracts can be handled digitally, and you’ll have our full support throughout the process.
Once you’ve chosen a property, a reservation agreement is signed, followed by a full purchase contract. The reservation usually involves a deposit, which secures the property for you. The full contract outlines payment terms, timelines, and responsibilities. We ensure everything is clearly explained before you commit.
An NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is a Spanish identification number for foreigners. It’s required for all property purchases in Spain and is used for legal and tax purposes. We help you obtain this as part of the buying process.
Yes, a Spanish bank account is typically required for property transactions, utility payments, and ongoing expenses. We assist you in opening an account as part of our support during the purchase process.
Payments are made in stages according to the contract. For new builds, instalments follow construction milestones. All payments go through a secure account, and your funds are protected under Spanish law. By this point, you will of course have appointed your own solicitor to assist you throughout the process. We work closely with the developer to ensure full transparency and financial security at every step.
When the property is ready, a final inspection is carried out, often together with your solicitor. Once everything is approved, the purchase is completed before a notary, and ownership is formally transferred. We assist you throughout this stage, including coordination of documents, keys, and any post-handover follow-up.
Yes, it is possible to purchase a property through a company, whether foreign or Spanish. We recommend discussing this with your solicitor and financial advisor to assess what best suits your tax situation and long-term plans. We can facilitate the process in close coordination with your chosen experts.
Here you'll find insight into the most important legal and tax considerations related to owning property in Spain. We explain how taxation, inheritance laws, and ownership structures work – and what you should pay special attention to as a foreign buyer.
Yes – provided the process is handled correctly and with proper legal support. Spanish property law is well-regulated, and with your own solicitor and a trusted developer, the purchase is safe and transparent. We ensure you are guided professionally throughout.
New-build homes in Spain come with legal guarantees. These include a one-year warranty for minor defects, a three-year warranty for installations and systems, and a ten-year structural warranty. All guarantees are backed by insurance and regulated by Spanish law, giving you security as a buyer.
In addition to the purchase price, you should expect approximately 12–14% in purchase-related costs. This includes VAT (IVA) or transfer tax, legal fees, notary and registration fees, and other administrative costs. We provide a detailed overview tailored to your chosen property.
Property owners in Spain pay an annual municipal property tax called IBI (Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles). The amount varies by location and property value but is typically between €300 and €1,200 per year at Las Colinas. There may also be small additional local fees for services.
Inheritance tax in Spain depends on the relationship between the deceased and the beneficiary, the value of the inheritance, and the region. In the Valencia region, where Las Colinas is located, significant reductions apply for spouses and close family members. We recommend consulting a solicitor to understand your specific situation and plan accordingly.
You may have tax obligations in both Spain and your country of residence. Spain applies local taxes on property ownership and income (such as rental income), while your home country may require you to report foreign assets and income.
The specific rules depend on where you live – for example, the UK and the US each have their own tax treaties and reporting requirements with Spain. We strongly encourage you to consult a local tax advisor to understand how the rules apply to your individual situation.
You can purchase property in Spain either privately or through a company. Private ownership is more common for holiday homes, while company structures may offer benefits in certain financial or inheritance scenarios. However, owning through a company can also involve more complexity and administrative requirements. Always consult your legal and tax advisors to determine the most suitable structure based on your goals and personal situation.
Yes – we strongly recommend using an independent solicitor when purchasing property in Spain. A good solicitor ensures that all legal, financial, and regulatory matters are handled properly. We can introduce you to reputable English-speaking solicitors with experience in guiding international buyers at Las Colinas, or you’re welcome to appoint one of your own choosing
Your appointed solicitor will handle all legal documentation and formalities on your behalf – including contracts, registrations, and communication with the authorities. We work closely with your solicitor and the developer to ensure a smooth, transparent process from start to finish.
Yes. In Spain, a notary public (notario) is a key part of the property transaction. The notary verifies the legal status of the property, confirms the identities of the parties, and formalises the deed of sale. The final signing and official transfer of ownership take place in the presence of the notary, ensuring legal security for both buyer and seller.
In this section, we cover costs, financing options, and the financial aspects of owning property in Spain. You’ll gain insight into everything from mortgages and currency considerations to rental income and long-term investment value.
Yes, non-residents can apply for a mortgage in Spain. Several Spanish banks offer financing to international buyers, including major names such as Banco Sabadell, CaixaBank, and Bankinter. Lending terms typically cover up to 60–70% of the property value. We assist you in establishing contact and preparing the required documentation.
Not directly in Spain. Spanish banks usually require the property in Spain to serve as collateral. However, you may be able to refinance or release equity from your property in your home country (such as the UK or US) to fund the purchase. This should be discussed with your local bank or financial advisor.
Annual ownership costs include local property tax (IBI), community fees, utilities, insurance, and minor maintenance. At Las Colinas, these typically range from €5,000 to €15,000 per year, depending on the property type. We provide a detailed estimate based on your selected home.
Community fees at Las Colinas cover the maintenance of shared areas, including gardens, pools, tennis and padel courts, security, lighting, and general upkeep of the resort’s facilities. They also contribute to insurance and administration costs, ensuring a well-maintained and secure environment.
Las Colinas offers not only exceptional lifestyle but also strong investment potential. The resort’s reputation, location, and quality contribute to stable property values and attractive rental demand. While market conditions fluctuate, properties here have historically shown solid appreciation and rental returns. We recommend consulting a financial advisor for personalised investment guidance.
Property prices at Las Colinas have shown steady growth over the years, reflecting the resort’s increasing reputation and demand. Despite market fluctuations, values have remained resilient thanks to the resort’s exclusive nature, quality construction, and prime location. We can provide you with up-to-date market insights to support your decision.
Yes, rental income earned from your Spanish property is subject to Spanish taxation. As a non-resident, you must declare this income and pay the applicable tax. Depending on your country of residence, you may also need to report this income locally, with relief provided under double taxation agreements. We recommend consulting a tax advisor for detailed advice.
Currency fluctuations can impact the total cost of your purchase. Paying in euros can help avoid exchange rate risks, especially if your funds are already held in euros. We advise planning currency transfers carefully, possibly with the help of a specialist, to optimise timing and reduce costs.
Yes, purchasing early often offers advantages such as better pricing, a wider selection of properties, and the opportunity to customise certain features. Early buyers can also benefit from payment plans aligned with construction stages. We help you assess these options based on your preferences and investment goals.

For maximum comfort and independence, most residents and guests prefer to rent or own a car.
