If you have unrestricted equity on your own home in Norway, it is most common to finance in your own bank in Norway. If you are primarily going to rent, you may want to investigate the possibility of financing in Spain, as you mainly want the rental income in euros. A rule of thumb is that it is okay to have financing in the same currency as you have income. In Spain, as a non-resident, you can get a financing of between 60 and 70% of the house price, excluding costs. If desired, we can arrange contact with Spanish banks where there are Norwegian-speaking personnel.

You will not achieve better conditions by buying directly from the developer. In most cases, we will have greater opportunities for influence over the developer, as we represent more buyers and potential buyers.

Spanish building regulations are, as in Norway, constantly evolving. From 2013, there were, among other things, requirements for energy certification of homes, and the building regulations were adapted to this.

The first step then, is to set up a reservation contract, and at the same time to pay a deposit. This is done to withdraw the home from the market. After this, a purchase contract will be set up. When buying a new building, the deposit is usually between 3,000 and 10,000 euros. Thereafter, 30-40% of the value of the home must normally be paid in after 2-4 weeks. Final settlement is made upon takeover. All developers in Spain are required by law to provide a bank guarantee corresponding to the amount paid until the takeover of the home.

When buying a used home, it is normal that 5% of the value of the home is paid in as a deposit, and the rest when taking over the home. In the period from the time you have decided to buy until the takeover, Spanish identification documents will be arranged for everyone who will be the owners of the home. Regardless of whether you choose a used new home, we assist throughout the process!

Depending on the price of the home, whether used or new, the cost will normally be between 12% and 14% of the home’s value in the costa blanca area.
