Whether you live in the UK, the US, Germany, or Dubai, you can buy property in Valencia without being physically present.
Foreigners commonly purchase homes or investment properties in Spain using a Power of Attorney (POA) — a safe, legal solution that lets your lawyer act on your behalf.
🧾 What Is a Power of Attorney in Spain?
A Poder Notarial (POA) is a legally certified document that allows someone you trust (usually your lawyer) to:
-
Sign contracts for you
-
Attend the notary to sign the deed
-
Pay taxes and register the property
-
Open a Spanish bank account
-
Apply for your NIE
✅ It is flexible, revocable, and fully recognized under Spanish law.
🌍 Who Uses POA for Spanish Property Purchases?
Most commonly:
-
Foreigners living outside Spain
-
Buyers who can’t travel for the notary appointment
-
Investors handling multiple purchases
-
Digital nomads or retirees planning remotely
We’ve helped clients from over 30 countries buy in Valencia 100% remotely.

| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | We draft a bilingual Power of Attorney (tailored to your needs) |
| 2 | You sign it at a local notary or Spanish consulate |

✍️ What Can the POA Cover?

Signing the arras contract

Representing you at the notary

Paying taxes and registering the deed

Handling post-sale formalities (utilities, IBI, insurance)

🌐 Can I Grant a POA From Abroad?
Yes. You can grant a POA:
-
At a Spanish consulate in your country
-
At a local notary with apostille (for Hague countries)
-
Digitally in some cases (via Spanish qualified e-signature, where available)
📌 We guide you on the easiest option depending on where you live.
🔐 Is It Safe to Use a Lawyer for POA in Spain?
Yes — when done correctly. But choose wisely:
-
Avoid giving POA to a real estate agent
-
Avoid POAs that allow property sales without limits
-
Work with a regulated, registered Spanish lawyer
✅ At Borderless Lawyers, we act only on what’s written in the POA — and nothing more.
