Create my buyer profile
IncludedLawyer and help with your mortgage€0The lawyer handling the sale explains every step, the deadlines and the paperwork. And if you need a mortgage, we put you in touch with a mortgage broker.

Your offer, your way

Always in writing and within Llavely. The seller accepts or rejects it from their portal, and we let you know straight away.

No deposit

An offer without paying anything

You make your offer without paying anything. It doesn’t reserve the property: the seller can keep showing it while deciding.

With a 1% deposit

An offer that reserves the home for 5 days

With a deposit of 1% of the price, the property is reserved for you for 5 days while the seller decides. If they accept, it counts towards the deposit contract (arras); if they reject it, you get it all back. Always by bank transfer (standard or OMF urgent transfer).

Work out your purchase

How much do you need to have saved?

Down payment, taxes and costs for a second-hand home in the Madrid region. And if you need a mortgage, we put you in touch with a mortgage broker, at no cost.

Usual down payment (20%)
€96,000
Transfer tax (ITP) in Madrid (6%)
€28,800
Notary, land registry and agency fees (approx. 1.5%)
€7,200
Savings needed
€132,000
Mortgage to apply for
€384,000
You would be about €22,000 short for the down payment and costs. Rough estimate; second-hand home, no tax reductions.

Buying as a foreigner: what you need

The basics, so nothing catches you by surprise. Rules as of October 2026; we check them for your case before you sign.

An NIE

Your foreigner’s identity number. In practice you need it for the notary and the taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate or, in Spain, at a police station.

Purchase taxes

Second-hand homes in the Madrid region: 6% transfer tax (ITP). New builds: 10% VAT plus stamp duty (AJD) of up to 0.75%.

Notary and registry

The deed is signed before a Spanish notary, who records how the price was paid. It is then entered in the Registro de la Propiedad (Land Registry).

Every year

IBI (property tax) and, if you don’t live in Spain, the non-resident tax on the home (form 210).

Legal service · more than 35 years of experience

Specialised lawyers, from start to finish.

A badly closed sale can cost far more than any commission: charges nobody checked, a poorly drafted deposit contract, taxes that arrive months later. That’s why we work with lawyers specialised in property sales and inheritances, with more than 35 years of experience, who check everything before anyone signs. If you sell, they’re included in your 2.5%: you pay nothing extra.

  • Review of the land registry extract (nota simple), charges and debts
  • Deposit contract (arras) drafted or reviewed
  • Taxes and costs calculated before you decide
  • Review of the deed before signing
  • Your lawyer comes with you to the notary on signing day

Frequently asked questions

Does the buyer pay anything?

No. Llavely is free for buyers. A specialised lawyer reviews the deal and explains every step, the deadlines and the paperwork. And if they need a mortgage, we put them in touch with a mortgage broker, also at no cost.

How do offers work?

The buyer can make an offer without paying anything, which doesn’t reserve the property. Or an offer with a deposit of 1% of the price, which reserves it for 5 days while the seller decides. If the seller accepts, the deposit counts towards the deposit contract (arras); if they reject it, it’s returned in full. Always by bank transfer (standard or OMF urgent transfer), never in cash.

Can you help me with the mortgage?

We put you in touch with a mortgage broker who compares banks for you, including mortgages for non-residents. It costs you nothing.

What does the lawyer do?

We work with registered lawyers specialised in property sales and inheritances, and we have more than 35 years of experience in the sector. If you sell, they’re included in your 2.5%: they review the land registry extract (nota simple), charges and debts, calculate the applicable taxes before you set the price, draft the deposit contract (arras) and any special clauses you need, review the deed and come with you to the notary in person on signing day. They also explain every step, the deadlines and the paperwork to the buyer, at no cost: they aim for an agreement that is good for both sides.

Why do you ask for ID and the source of the money?

By law, anyone acting as an intermediary in a property sale must identify the parties and know where the funds come from. We ask for ID for viewings, and the source of the money before the reservation or the deposit contract. Our team reviews it and it isn’t shared with the other party.

Where do you operate?

Buying and selling: in the Comunidad de Madrid (Madrid region). Renting: in the provinces of Madrid and Barcelona, free for everyone; elsewhere, join the waiting list with your areas and we’ll let you know when we open yours.

In which language will you talk to me?

We reply in English by email, message or phone. Contracts and deeds in Spain are in Spanish; your lawyer explains them to you before you sign.
