Spanish property investment for non-residents
We advise international buyers of high-value property in Spain: we design the ownership structure with you, review the asset before you sign the deposit contract and handle everything that follows, in your language and on a fixed fee.
Tell us about your purchaseWho we act for
High-value second homes
Buyers of a coastal or city home who want the ownership, tax and succession set up properly from day one.
Buy-to-let investors
Several properties or a rental project, where the choice between personal and corporate ownership changes the net return.
Family offices and foreign companies
Wealth already held through a company that needs the Spanish investment to fit the home country and the applicable tax treaty.
Relocating to Spain
Investors who are also moving here: we coordinate the purchase with residence, tax residence and the inbound workers regime.
What has changed
Since 3 April 2025, buying property no longer leads to a golden visa (Ley Orgánica 1/2025), and the announced tax of up to 100% on buyers from outside the EU has not been passed. A non-resident's tax position is decided across four stages (purchase, ownership, sale and inheritance), and the structure chosen on day one shapes all four. We explain it in detail in our guide to investing in Spanish property from abroad.
How we work, stage by stage
Structure and tax modelling
We compare, with figures, buying in your own name, through a Spanish company or through a foreign company, across all four stages and in light of your country of residence and the applicable treaty.
Property due diligence
Land Registry, cadastre, planning and licences, charges and debts attached to the property, the owners' association and, where relevant, whether holiday letting is allowed.
Deposit contract, purchase and completion
We negotiate and draft the deposit contract (arras) and the purchase agreement, coordinate notary, bank and registry, and deal with the NIE, the payment trail and the foreign investment filing.
After completion
Setting up the company where appropriate, annual non-resident tax returns, wealth tax, lease agreements and planning for the eventual sale or succession.
Moving to Spain: one team, one fee
When the purchase is part of a relocation, we bring together in a single engagement what is usually bought from several advisers: the right residence route for your profile, the Beckham Law (inbound workers regime) analysis before you arrive, the wealth structure and the property purchase. Decisions are taken in the right order, and no deadline is missed because another adviser did not see it coming.
Why Satya Legal
Your language
We work in English, Spanish, German, French and Italian, including with your advisers at home.
Fixed fee by stage
Before we start you know what each stage includes and what it costs. No open-ended hours.
On the buyer's side
We review the transaction independently of the agent and the seller: your interest is our reference point.
Frequently asked questions
Does buying a home in Spain give me the right to live here?
Not since 3 April 2025, when Ley Orgánica 1/2025 abolished the investor residence permit. Other routes exist (non-lucrative residence, the international remote work visa, entrepreneurs and professionals) and we assess them against your profile.
Should I buy in my own name or through a company?
For a home for your own use, personal ownership is usually more efficient; for several rental properties or a business, a company. The answer depends on your country of residence, the use and your horizon, which is why we model it with figures before you sign.
What will I pay every year as a non-resident?
Local property tax (IBI), non-resident income tax (on deemed income if the property is not let, or on the rent) and, depending on your Spanish assets, wealth tax. We give you the compliance calendar and can file on your behalf.
Can you work with my tax adviser at home?
Yes, and we recommend it: we coordinate the Spanish side with your adviser so that the tax treaty is applied correctly and the structure works in both countries, not just one.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the number of properties, the structure and whether you are relocating. After a free first consultation we send you a fixed fee proposal by stage.
