Lapdrop Expat Services: House purchase support

About

Buying property in Spain means dealing with a Spanish process, Spanish documents and several separate parties: seller, agent, notary, bank, tax office and Land Registry. Lapdrop arranges the support you need through vetted local professionals across Spain, so you are not left piecing it together yourself.

Depending on what you ask for, this can include:

• Getting your NIE and a Spanish bank account in place before you sign
• A Land Registry check (nota simple) on ownership and any charges on the property
• An independent technical inspection of the building
• A lawyer to review the reservation or deposit (arras) contract and the deed
• Help with the notary appointment, and an interpreter if you need one
• Filing the purchase tax (ITP for resale homes, IVA for new builds) and registering the deed at the Registro de la Propiedad
• Setting up utilities, the council tax (IBI) direct debit and your owners’ community details after completion

Tell us where you are in the process and what you want help with. Lapdrop matches you with suitable local professionals, shares their quotes with you before anything is booked, and you decide whether to go ahead. Lapdrop stays your single contact from the first message to the keys. We arrange this in every region of Spain, including the islands.
