Can British citizens still buy property in Spain after Brexit?

Yes, Brexit has not changed the right of British citizens to purchase property in Spain. However, UK nationals are now treated as third-country nationals, which affects residency rights and the 90/180-day Schengen stay limit. Our team guides you through all post-Brexit requirements.

What taxes do British buyers pay in Denia?

Do I need a Spanish NIE to buy property?

Yes, an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is required for all property transactions in Spain. You can apply at the Spanish consulate in the UK or in person at the National Police in Spain. We handle the application process for you.

How does the conveyancing process differ from the UK?

Spanish conveyancing differs significantly from the English system. There are no searches as in England; instead, the lawyer conducts due diligence directly at the Land Registry and town hall. Completion takes place before a public notary rather than through exchange of contracts. We explain each step clearly.

Can I get a mortgage as a British citizen in Spain?

Yes, Spanish banks offer mortgages to non-resident British buyers, typically up to a portion of the property value. Post-Brexit, some banks have adjusted their requirements. We can recommend mortgage brokers experienced in working with UK nationals.

Should I make a Spanish will for my Denia property?

Yes, we strongly recommend a Spanish will for your Spanish assets. Without one, your heirs would need to go through international probate, which is costly and time-consuming. A Spanish will covering your Spanish assets works alongside your English will for your UK estate.
