Steps and Full Guidance with Lirice Real Estate

Are you dreaming of a second home or permanent residence on the sunny Costa Blanca South? You might be wondering how the buying process works. Purchasing a home in Spain is different from in the Netherlands or Belgium, but with the right guidance, it can be a smooth and enjoyable experience. At Lirice Real Estate, we help you from start to finish. In this blog, we explain the buying process and how we guide you step by step.

Step 1: Finding and Viewing Properties

The process starts with finding the perfect property. Whether you’re looking for an apartment, villa, or vacation home, we know the region and the market inside out. Together, we determine your preferences, property type, and budget. We then organize viewings where we personally guide you and provide all the necessary information about the properties and the area.

Step 2: Reservation and Deposit

Have you found your ideal home? The next step is to reserve the property. This is done by signing a reservation contract and paying a deposit (usually between €3,000 and €10,000). This removes the property from the market, ensuring no one else can purchase it.

Step 3: Legal Checks by the Lawyer

After the reservation, the legal phase begins. We connect you with a specialized lawyer who communicates in your language. The lawyer conducts a thorough investigation to verify that the property is legally sound, such as ownership titles, permits, and potential liabilities. This ensures you don’t encounter any unexpected surprises.

Step 4: Drafting the Purchase Contract

Once everything is legally verified, the purchase contract is drawn up. This contract includes the transaction details, such as the purchase price, payment terms, and the transfer date. For new-build projects, different payment stages are often agreed upon, depending on the builder and in consultation with the buyer. For resale properties, the process is usually quicker: you pay a reservation fee, an amount when drafting the purchase contract, and the remaining balance at the notary during the transfer of ownership.

Step 5: Signing the Deed at the Notary

The final step is signing the deed at the notary. On this day, the keys are officially handed over, and you become the owner of your Spanish property. We are also present to ensure everything runs smoothly. The notary registers the deed in the Spanish property registry.
