It’s no surprise foreigners are investing — but navigating the Spanish legal system can be daunting without expert help.
📋 Can Foreigners Buy Property in Seville?
Yes — Spain places no restrictions on property ownership for non-residents.
But to buy safely, you’ll need to:
-
Get an NIE (Foreigner Tax ID)
-
Open a Spanish bank account
-
Work with a local property lawyer
-
Sign at a notary and register the property correctly
We assist clients remotely or in person — even if you’re not in Spain.
🏛️ Legal Steps to Buy Property in Seville
✅ Step 1: Get Your NIE Number
This is mandatory for any property purchase in Spain.
We can obtain this for you in Seville or remotely via Power of Attorney.
✅ Step 2: Appoint a Lawyer Before Signing Anything
Many foreigners sign reservation contracts too early — often without legal review.
At Borderless Lawyers, we:
-
Verify the legality of the property
-
Draft or review the arras contract
-
Negotiate better terms
-
Handle due diligence, title checks, and tax filings
✅ Step 3: Complete Legal Due Diligence
Before paying anything, we:
-
Confirm the seller’s legal ownership
-
Check the property for debts, embargoes, or mortgages
-
Review zoning, licenses, and urban compliance
-
Obtain a fresh Nota Simple from the Land Registry
✅ Step 4: Sign at the Notary & Pay Taxes
The final step is signing the escritura pública (public deed) before a notary.
Then, you pay:
-
ITP (Transfer Tax): 7%–10% depending on price
-
Notary and Land Registry Fees: ~€1,000–€2,000
-
Legal Fees: Fixed fee or ~1% of the price (we offer fixed legal packages)
We can handle everything on your behalf if you grant us Power of Attorney.
✅ Step 5: Register the Property in Your Name
After signing, we:
-
Pay the taxes
-
File your title with the Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad)
-
Update the Catastro (official land map)
-
Notify the local tax office and utility providers
You’ll receive your final title deed and be fully registered as owner.
