Under construction

Building work has started and homes are still for sale. Completion dates are the developer’s own estimate.

Buying off-plan

Buying off-plan in Spain comes with specific protections, such as bank guarantees for your stage payments. Read our guide before you sign anything.

  1. 1

    Ask for the bank guarantee

    Stage payments made before completion should be covered by a bank guarantee. Ask to see it before you pay anything.

  2. 2

    Know the payment stages

    Check how much is due on reservation, during building and on completion, and what happens if the dates slip.

  3. 3

    Use your own lawyer

    An independent lawyer checks the licence, the guarantees and the contract before you sign.

List your development
