How to secure funding and what costs to expect
Financing and the costs of buying property abroad
The cost of buying property abroad is not limited to the price of the property itself. Depending on the country, you must also take into account taxes, notary fees, registration fees, legal fees and any financing costs.
Before the transaction begins, we help the client understand the full cost structure applicable in the relevant market. If the purchase is to be financed by a loan, a local adviser can help verify the options available to non-residents.
The terms of agents’ remuneration vary between countries and markets. Before the process begins, the client receives clear information about the rules applicable to the specific transaction.

CASE STUDY
Buying a house on the Costa del Sol – an example of Vilea Abroad’s client service
Pre-selection of properties: A client from Warsaw, a keen golfer, was looking for a holiday home in Andalusia. An agent from Vilea Abroad drew up a shortlist of 12 properties on the Costa del Sol, tailored to her preferences regarding architecture, location and lifestyle. Following an initial selection, the client chose six properties that she wished to view in person.
On-site viewings: We organised a fact-finding trip to Spain. Once there, a Christie’s International Real Estate agent from Marbella, who knew the Costa del Sol market inside out, presented all six selected properties. The client opted for a modern villa in Sotogrande, situated directly next to a prestigious golf course, overlooking the fairway.
Preparing the transaction: A trusted solicitor working with the local team analysed the documentation, verified the sale agreement and raised the necessary points for attention. We also assisted with opening a bank account at a local bank and obtaining a NIE number, whilst a financial adviser supported the client in securing a mortgage from a Spanish bank.
Finalising the transaction: The deed was signed at a notary’s office, in the presence of a solicitor and estate agents representing both parties to the transaction.
Handover of the property: The entire process, from the initial selection of properties to the handover of the keys, was completed within 3 months.
After-sales service: Following the purchase, we helped the client arrange property insurance and find a reliable team for finishing and renovation work.
