What should I take with me?
You have selected your chosen area, you have an ideal budget, and you have seen the perfect place. What will you need to secure the property?
Normally, reservations are taken on a credit card, so it is often a good idea to inform your credit company before leaving home that you may be making a transaction whilst you are away. Paying a reservation deposit by cheque or bank transfer can delay matters by more than a week, and most developers will be reluctant to accept this method of payment, as there may be other people able to place an instant deposit on the same property.
To purchase a Spanish property, apart from a credit card, developers or vendor agents will require a copy of your passport.
