Can non-residents buy property in Spain?
Non-residents have been buying property in Spain for at least the last 20 years, Spain is part of the EEC and they actively encourage people to purchase property for holiday homes or to live there. As with the tourist industry, it brings a large amount of money and work into the country. Literally hundreds of non-Spanish people buy property in Spain every week. The low cost of living and the pleasant climate being the main reason, the relatively low cost of property pricing being another. Buying property in Spain is just as easy as in the UK once you adapt to the ‘no-rush’ way of doing things.
