Can American citizens buy property in Dénia freely?

Yes, there are no restrictions on US citizens purchasing property in Spain. You will need to obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) and open a Spanish bank account. Our firm handles the entire NIE application process on your behalf.

What taxes will I pay when buying property in Dénia?

For resale properties, you pay ITP (Transfer Tax) at 10% in the Valencian Community. For new builds, VAT (IVA) is 10% plus 1.5% stamp duty. Additionally, there are notary fees, registry fees, and legal fees. We provide a complete cost breakdown before you commit.

Do I need to be in Spain to complete the purchase?

No. With a power of attorney, we can represent you at the notary for completion. This is especially convenient for American clients who may find it difficult to travel to Spain multiple times. The POA can be signed at your nearest Spanish consulate in the US.

What are the US tax implications of owning property in Spain?

US citizens have worldwide tax reporting obligations. Spanish property income and capital gains must be reported on your US tax return, though the US-Spain tax treaty provides mechanisms to avoid double taxation through foreign tax credits. FATCA and FBAR reporting may also apply if you hold Spanish bank accounts.

How long does a property purchase take in Dénia?

A typical purchase takes 6-10 weeks from signing the reservation contract to completion at the notary. The timeline includes obtaining your NIE, completing legal due diligence, arranging the mortgage (if applicable), and coordinating with all parties. We keep you informed throughout.

Should I make a Spanish will for my Dénia property?

Absolutely. A Spanish will covering your Spanish assets avoids the need for complex international probate proceedings. It speeds up the inheritance process significantly and ensures your wishes are respected under Spanish law. We coordinate with your US estate planning to ensure both wills work together.
