Acquisition considerations
- Resale purchases in Andalusia are generally subject to 7% transfer tax (ITP); new-build purchases to VAT plus stamp duty. Notary, registry and legal fees are additional. Confirm with your lawyer.
- A private purchase contract with a deposit (often around 10%) normally precedes completion before a notary.
- Financing approvals should be secured before signing a deposit contract.

Financing examples are illustrative and do not constitute an offer of credit. Availability depends on the client profile, collateral, property, jurisdiction and lender approval. Portfolio-backed lending may be illustrated at up to approximately 70% loan-to-value where suitable. Actual lending value depends on portfolio composition, concentration, volatility, liquidity, currency, jurisdiction and lender approval. Borrowing below the maximum leaves a buffer if markets fall. Mortgage approval depends on income, residency, property value and lender. How Smart Financing works.
