Buying your dream home in Spain – from anywhere in the world
For many investors, Spain is the dream destination. The Mediterranean climate, relaxed lifestyle and stable real estate market make it one of Europe’s most attractive locations to own property.
But what if you can’t be in Spain in person? The good news is — you don’t have to be.
With the right legal representation, you can buy a property in Spain remotely, safely and fully within the law.
How it works: Power of Attorney (Poder Notarial)
The key to buying property remotely in Spain is the power of attorney (Poder Notarial). This legal document authorizes a trusted representative — like The Lawyers — to act on your behalf before Spanish institutions.
With a properly drafted power of attorney, we can:
- Apply for your NIE number (tax identification for foreigners),
- Open your Spanish bank account,
- Review and sign the pre-purchase agreement (Contrato de Arras),
- Attend the notary appointment and sign the final deed (escritura pública),
- Handle tax payments and registrations after purchase.
Is remote buying safe and legal?
Yes — remote property purchases in Spain are completely legal and widely practiced. Spanish law allows foreigners to buy property through a power of attorney, provided it is properly certified and translated if issued abroad.
To ensure full legal validity, the document must be:
- Notarized in your home country,
- Apostilled (under the Hague Convention),
- and, if necessary, translated into Spanish by a certified translator.
At The Lawyers, we handle the entire process, ensuring that every document meets Spanish legal standards before use.
The advantages of buying remotely
- Convenience: no need to travel or take time off work.
- Speed: all procedures are handled locally by professionals.
- Security: legal supervision from start to finish.
- Transparency: regular updates and document sharing at every stage.
In short — you get all the benefits of owning property in Spain, without the logistical challenges.
