QuestionsFrequently asked questions

Can British citizens still buy property in Moraira after Brexit? Absolutely. British citizens can buy property in Spain with no restrictions. However, you now need a visa or residency permit to stay more than 90 days in any 180-day period.

How much does it cost to buy a property in Moraira? Beyond the price, count on ITP transfer tax, notary, registration, lawyer and agency commission: typically 12-15% on top of the purchase price. Contact us for a personalised estimate.

Do I need a Spanish will if I own property in Moraira? Yes, strongly recommended. Without a Spanish will, your heirs face 6-12 months of delays, costly translations, and potential complications with Spanish inheritance law.
