Buying on the Costa Brava from abroad: where to start
NIE, bank account, lawyer and notary: the order of the steps when you buy a house in Spain without living here.
ReadRent for a season before you buy
Live in the village for a few months before deciding. Why many of our buyers start by renting.
Many of our buyers start with a rental. A few months in a village teach you things a viewing cannot: where to park in August, which bakery opens in January, how long the road to Girona takes.
What to look for in a rental
A house in the village you are interested in, with a clear contract on the length, the deposit and the costs. We explain every point before you sign.
And then
If the village wins you over, you will already know the streets and which house you are looking for. So will we.
