International buying guides
The same buying process, explained for your passport and your shortlist — town by town.
How do I buy a home on the Costa del Sol as a foreigner?
It depends on your passport and your shortlist, but the steps are the same for everyone: get an NIE, open a Spanish bank account, reserve the home and sign the arras contract, let your own independent lawyer do the due diligence, then complete at the notary. Pick the guide for your nationality and town below: each one explains what buyers from your country weigh, and how each town actually lives.
