Buying Real Estate in Spain: Different from What You’re Used To
Buying a property in Spain is a wonderful investment, but the process differs significantly from what you may be accustomed to in your own country. The legal and administrative procedures, the role of the notary, and the tax structures are different and can be confusing for international buyers. Additionally, the rights and obligations of the buyer and seller are not always the same as in other European countries.
At Med Sea Estates, we understand these differences and guide you through the entire process, ensuring that you can purchase your ideal property with confidence and peace of mind. Whether you are looking for a ready-to-move-in resale home or a brand-new development, we help you find the perfect match for your needs. From the first viewing to the final transfer at the notary, we make sure everything is transparent, secure, and hassle-free.

Resale Properties - A direct move-in to your Spanish home
Buying an existing property has the great advantage of being able to see exactly what you’re getting and, in many cases, move in more quickly. Spain offers a wide range of resale properties, from traditional Spanish villas to modern apartments and luxury homes.
We assist you with:
• Finding the right property – We listen to your needs and search for homes in the most suitable areas, taking into account factors such as proximity to amenities, the beach, shops, and restaurants.
• Price and purchase negotiations – Our experience in the real estate market helps you pay a fair market price and get the best outcome from negotiations.
• Legal and administrative checks – Before purchasing a resale property, it’s crucial to verify that there are no outstanding debts or legal restrictions on the property. Our team works with specialized lawyers to ensure everything is handled correctly.
• Post-purchase assistance – We help you not only with the purchase but also with utility transfers, insurance arrangements, and any renovations or furnishings for your home.
A resale property is ideal for those who want to immediately enjoy the Spanish lifestyle without waiting for construction completion, and for those seeking a more authentic, Spanish atmosphere.
Med Sea Estates is here for you even after the purchase of your property. Whether it’s small adjustments, such as replacing a bathtub with a shower, installing a new kitchen, or a complete renovation, we have the right contacts and experts to make your wishes come true. All of this can even be done while you are in your home country. We ensure that the project is completed efficiently and to your satisfaction, so your home is tailored to your taste, without you having to worry.
Buying a new build property
Modern and Energy-Efficient Investment
New builds are an excellent choice for those seeking a modern, sustainable, and energy-efficient home. The demand for new homes in Spain is growing rapidly, due in part to high construction quality, innovative architecture, and the latest technologies in energy efficiency.
At Med Sea Estates, we guide you every step of the way:
• Selection of reliable developers – We only work with developers with a proven track record, ensuring you a quality home.
• Choosing the right location and property type – Whether you’re looking for a villa, apartment, or penthouse, we help you find the right project that fits your needs and budget.
• Transparency on payment terms and construction timelines – In Spain, a new home is often paid for in installments. We ensure everything is clearly documented and contractually agreed upon, so you know exactly what to expect.
• Guidance during construction – For many buyers, it can be exciting to have a home built remotely. We oversee progress and ensure that all documents are in order and that the construction is proceeding as planned.
• Handover and aftercare – Once the construction is complete, we assist with the handover, check that everything is finished to standard, and help with necessary formalities, such as utilities, insurance, and community fees.
New builds offer a contemporary living experience with maximum energy efficiency, allowing you to benefit from low maintenance costs and a comfortable, future-proof home.
