Steps in the process of buying a property.

Brief and Simplified Explanation of the Property Purchase Process
The property purchase process follows a series of steps to ensure a secure and effective transaction.

Step 1 - The Offer
Once you have selected the property you wish to acquire, you need to make a formal offer. This document informs the seller of your intent to purchase and establishes the price you are willing to pay. A real estate advisor will guide you in drafting the offer, including any relevant conditions (mortgage, timelines, etc.). If the purchase is made in cash, the funds must come from a bank account in Spain.

Step 2 - Offer Acceptance
If the seller accepts the offer, the preparation of the necessary documents for the property transfer begins. To formalize the purchase commitment, the buyer must make a reservation payment, typically ranging from 5% to 10% of the agreed final price. This amount is deducted from the total purchase price.

Step 3 - Deposit Agreement 
This is a private contract signed between the buyer and the seller that reinforces the commitment of both parties. It details the terms of the sale, and a deposit is made as a guarantee. There are different types of deposit agreements, but the most common is the "arras penitenciales," which allows for cancellation under certain conditions: if the buyer withdraws, they forfeit the deposit; if the seller backs out, they must return twice the amount received.

Step 4 - Deed of Sale
Once all documentation is in order and financing has been approved (if applicable), a notary appointment is scheduled to sign the public deed of sale. At this stage, the buyer pays the remaining balance and receives possession of the property, officially completing the transaction.
