We have always been careful about the company we keep, working with the very best partners in Spain. Actually, while people talk about Spain being the country of ‘mañana’, where everything tends to get put off until ‘tomorrow’, we’ve always found the Spanish attitude to property to be extremely professional.
In fact you’ll find buying a property in Spain, and organising the funding, very much simpler than it is in the UK. Typically people who choose to buy during a Spain on Show viewing tour find it takes less than a day, and only two meetings – one with a bank and one with a lawyer – to organise the purchase.
The staff you will meet at every one of our Spanish partners speak excellent English and are happy to answer, as qualified professionals, any questions you may have about the process of buying and funding a property.
Over the years we have come to work with the local Torrevieja branches of two of the biggest banks in Spain – we know each other well and rely on each other’s judgement. They will not only organise and arrange your mortgage, they will become your own trusted partner when you buy here, opening your account, sorting out currency transactions, setting up regular payments and all the other small details for which you need a bank.

Spanish property law often seems so much more straightforward than you find in the UK. Perhaps that’s because all the properties you will see have similar legal entitlements and requirements. Most Spain on Show clients end up using our lawyers for a range of services, in particular things like making a Spanish Will and organising inheritance issues. Our chosen partners in Torrevieja are:

Even the tax situation in Spain seems to us to be more straightforward than the UK, although as always it’s best left to the experts to make sure everything is in order. We are very happy to highly recommend our own set of advisers who have been making Spanish tax simple for our customers for years, and who will be as happy to help you as they have been to help thousands like you. They are:
