In this first step, we will get in touch with you to learn more about your project, whether you're looking to buy or invest. It’s crucial to understand key aspects such as your budget, preferred location, the type of property you’re interested in (apartment, villa, land, etc.), and whether you require financing or depend on selling a current property. Some questions may be personal, but they are essential to match you with the right property. For this reason, we recommend scheduling a video call to meet face-to-face at this stage.

Clear and open communication is vital to define specific criteria, not just about what you want, but also what you want to avoid. This helps us filter and understand your project in detail.

One of our agents will send you several proposals for you to review and provide initial feedback. This process can be repeated as many times as needed until we find several options that truly fit your criteria. We will also provide detailed information about payment plans, delivery timelines, and other relevant details for each proposal.

Have you found a property that piques your interest, and are you eager to see it in person?

Once you've reviewed the options and selected the properties that interest you the most, we will arrange visits. If you’re located in another country, our team can conduct preliminary visits on your behalf, providing photos, videos, or even live video tours, so you won’t miss any details.

If you prefer to visit the properties and areas in person, we can organize a full three-day trip to Spain, allowing you to explore not just the properties but also the local lifestyle.

Day 1 & 2: Meeting at GestaliHome and Property Tours

We will start with a meeting at our office, where we will explain the tax aspects related to the purchase and provide an estimate of the total costs. We will also address any questions you may have. Then, we’ll proceed with visits to the selected properties, showing you not only the homes but also the surrounding areas, including key infrastructure, services, and places of interest to give you a complete understanding of the area.

Day 3: Decision Making and Legal Procedures

If you find the perfect property and decide to move forward with the purchase, we will assist you with signing the reservation or deposit contract and guide you through the rest of the process. If not, and you're not fully convinced by the properties you’ve seen, we can continue with visits to other options.

At this point, many of our clients choose to grant us power of attorney so they don’t need to travel from their home country. We offer this option and will accompany you to the notary to streamline the legal process of the purchase.

Pre-reservation applies only to projects awaiting the Building License granted by the local City Council. The developer offers the properties in pre-sale to expedite the commercialization of the project, although the exact date for obtaining the license is unknown. This estimate usually ranges between 3 and 6 months. In this case, properties can be pre-reserved with an amount between €3,000 and €10,000. The buyer can withdraw at any time since the project may undergo changes.

The next step is to sign a deposit agreement, a binding contract between the buyer and the seller that establishes the terms of the purchase, such as the final price and payment dates. This agreement ensures that both parties meet the agreed-upon conditions and protects you in case of breach.

Types of Deposit Agreements:

Penitential Deposit: If the buyer withdraws, the amounts paid are not refunded. If the seller withdraws, they must return double the amount received.

Conditional Deposit: If the deposit agreement includes a specific clause (for example, obtaining a mortgage, and the buyer does not receive bank approval), the seller must automatically return the amount received.

If the property is under construction and delivery is expected to be more than a month away, the developer will request installment payments. With each of these payments, the developer will provide a bank guarantee. The payments typically range from 25% to 50% plus VAT (during construction), with the remaining amounts due on the day of the key handover at the notary’s office.

Our GestaliHome team, together with Gestali, will assist you in preparing the necessary documents. Personally, you will need to ensure the following documents are obtained:

- Foreign Identification Number (NIE)

- NIE Registration with the Tax Office

- Electronic certificate (recommended)

- Proof of income for mortgage application (if applicable)

Regarding the property, we will take care of verifying:

Gestali applies fixed fees for managing all these procedures, ensuring transparency and security throughout the purchase process.

This is a mandatory process that all clients must follow when carrying out real estate transactions. Its purpose is to ensure that the funds used for the property purchase come from legitimate sources. To comply with the regulations, clients must provide documentation proving the origin of the funds, as well as proper identification, as part of our commitment to transparency and legality in all transactions.

If you require financing, we will assist you in obtaining a mortgage. At this stage, it will be necessary to prepare all documentation related to your income and creditworthiness. We collaborate with banks in Spain to ensure that you get the best conditions, whether you are a resident or not.

On the day of the signing of the deed, we will conduct a prior inspection of the property. Afterwards, we will go to the notary to formalize the purchase deed. The final payment will be made by bank check, either with your own funds or through a mortgage, to complete the transaction immediately and receive the keys to your new home.

We offer a comprehensive service to keep you updated on the construction progress. This includes regular updates with photos and reports on the current status, so you're aware of every detail, even from a distance. Additionally, you can choose to visit the site in person to check on the progress.

During this phase, you’ll have the opportunity to choose materials and finishes that best match your preferences. We’ll also advise you on optional extras, upgrades in quality, finish choices, or any customizations offered by the developer.

We offer the option to select custom-made furniture through our partnerships with specialized companies that provide a wide range of styles and options.

We help you select the insurance that best fits your needs and your new property, so you can have peace of mind from day one.
