Many foreign buyers believe that legal checks are carried out after paying a reservation fee. In Spain, this can be a costly mistake.
Practical examples:
- A buyer pays a deposit before discovering the property has planning issues.
- Outstanding debts are attached to the property and pass to the buyer.
- The seller is not the registered owner.
- The property is subject to embargoes.
- The reservation contract is legally unbalanced.
