NB-ESTATES featured in HLN: transparency about the real costs of buying property in Spain

NB-ESTATES was recently featured in Het Laatste Nieuws in an article about the real costs of purchasing a second home abroad. In the article, we were highlighted as an example of transparency when buying property in Spain.

Transparency when buying property in Spain


When buying a property in Spain, most people first focus on the purchase price. However, it is equally important to have a clear understanding of the total investment beforehand. In addition to the sale price, buyers also need to take into account extra costs such as taxes, notary fees, registration costs and administrative expenses.

The HLN article highlighted how important it is for buyers not to focus solely on the asking price, but also on the complete financial picture. NB-ESTATES was mentioned as an example of a real estate agency that communicates transparently about these additional costs.

At NB-ESTATES, we believe it is essential that buyers know exactly what to expect financially before making a purchase. This helps avoid surprises afterwards and allows us to guide clients with a clear and realistic understanding of their property purchase in Spain.


What are the additional costs when buying property in Spain?


The exact purchase costs depend on the type of property, the region and whether the property is new-build or resale. These costs may include VAT or transfer tax, notary fees, legal fees, registration costs and other administrative formalities.

As these costs can vary from one purchase to another, proper guidance is extremely important. At NB-ESTATES, we guide our clients from A to Z throughout the buying process in Spain, providing clear information about both the property itself and the total acquisition costs.
