Start looking for a property

You'll need to appoint a Spanish lawyer ("abogado") to deal with the legal side of buying the property. There are major differences between UK and Spanish property law which you need to be aware of before you go ahead. In particular you need to know that, under Spanish law, contracts to buy property can become legally binding very quickly. So it's important to take legal advice before you sign anything

If you're thinking of buying a property which is part of a community development, you need to find out what community fees you will need to pay and how much they are likely to be

Think about what facilities there are in the local area e.g. medical centres, transport links, entertainment and shops

If you want to buy a property that has a view of the sea or countryside, think about whether future developments might spoil the view

Check out properties in the surrounding area to see if they are finished, or when they are due to be completed

Check to see if there is any major work that needs to be done on the property and if so, what it is likely to cost. We strongly recommend that you seek professional advice from a surveyor

Make sure that you spend enough time looking at properties. Do not hurry or be pressurised into making a decision that you may later regret. When you have found a property that you like, visit it at different times of the day to make sure that there are no hidden surprises
