Off-Plan Buyer Advisory, Costa del Sol Know what you are buying before you decide

We help you check the location, developer, finishes, payment plan and future resale appeal before you choose a home.

An Independent View

Clear advice for the buyer

A developer brochure shows the project at its best. We help you look beyond it and understand what is genuinely strong, what is fairly standard and what needs a closer check.

FAQ

Common buyer questions

Can foreigners buy property in Spain?

Yes. There are no restrictions on non-Spanish nationals buying property in Spain, whether as a resident or non-resident.

What is an NIE number and do I need one?

An NIE (Numero de Identificacion de Extranjero) is a tax ID number required for any property purchase in Spain by a non-Spanish national. Nueva Living can guide you through obtaining one before you reserve.

What costs should I budget for on top of the purchase price?

Buyers typically budget for transfer tax or VAT, notary fees, land registry fees and legal fees on top of the purchase price. Nueva Living provides a full, current cost breakdown for your chosen residence before you reserve.

Can I get a mortgage in Spain as a non-resident?

Many Spanish banks offer mortgages to non-resident buyers, typically financing a portion of the purchase price. Exact terms depend on the bank and your personal financial profile.

What is the difference between off-plan and completed properties?

Off-plan means the development is still under construction and is usually sold with staged payments through to completion. A completed property is ready to view and move into now.

How does the reservation and payment process work?

Reservation and payment structures vary by development and are set out in full before you reserve. Nueva Living reconfirms the current schedule for your chosen residence at every step.

Can I rent out the property after purchase?

This depends on the individual development and local regulations, which can vary by community and municipality. Nueva Living will confirm the specific rules for a development before you reserve.

Do I need a lawyer?

Yes, we strongly recommend independent legal representation for any property purchase in Spain. Nueva Living can put you in touch with independent lawyers experienced in Costa del Sol property.

The Mechanics

How an off-plan purchase actually works

Three guides on the parts of the process buyers ask about most, each written against the statute or against the schedules our developers have supplied in writing.

Bank Guarantees

What protects your deposit under Ley 38/1999, and the point before the building licence at which it does not yet apply.

Payment Schedules

Reservation, contract, construction milestones and the balance at deed, using real figures from the projects on this site.

Warranties and Snagging

The ten, three and one-year guarantees, who is liable under each, and why handover starts the clock.

Who We Are

The people behind the advice

We work only with new and off-plan homes on the Costa del Sol, which is why we know the developers, the projects and the questions worth asking.
