Expat Property Services in Sitges and surrounding areas
We’ve been where you are, and we guide you through every step of buying and settling in Spain, with clarity and care.
We didn’t start as agents. We started exactly where you are.

We know there are many questions
Because we’ve been there ourselves, here are some of the things that often come up when moving or buying in Spain / Catalonia.
A NIE number is a personal identification number for foreigners and is required for any legal or financial transaction in Spain, including buying a property. Yes, you will need it before completing the purchase. We guide you through the process step by step, including the option of applying for it through the Spanish consulate in your home country.
Yes, non-residents can buy property in Spain without restrictions. There is often misleading information around taxes and requirements, so we explain what truly applies and make sure everything is prepared and handled correctly from the very beginning.
Getting a mortgage as an international buyer is possible, but the conditions can vary. We connect you with trusted advisors and help you understand what is realistically achievable for your situation.
On top of the price, plan with about 13% for taxes and costs. We break everything down for you early, so it all feels clear from the beginning.
The timeline can vary depending on the property and the situation, but most purchases take a few weeks to a couple of months. It also depends on the agreement between buyer and seller and whether a mortgage is involved. If you finance the purchase, there is for example a legal two-week reflection period to consider. These are the small but important details we guide you through from the start.
In Spain, a property purchase can be handled securely without a lawyer. As certified real estate agents, we prepare the contracts and ensure all documents and property details are correct, while the notary carries out the final legal checks, including any outstanding debts. If you prefer additional legal support, for example in your own language, we are happy to connect you with a trusted lawyer.
