SPAINLAWYER — International Lawyers in Spain
Real estate

Real estate investment in Spain

Investment purchases raise questions a home purchase does not: the acquisition vehicle, whether to buy the asset or the company that owns it, lease quality and the exit.

Who this is for

  • Private investors
  • Family offices
  • Funds entering the Spanish market
  • Buy-to-let investors

Vehicle selection

Personal ownership, Spanish company or foreign holding each have distinct legal and fiscal consequences.

Asset or share deal

Buying the owning company transfers its history, including liabilities. Diligence scope changes accordingly.

Income quality

Existing leases, tenant protections and rent regulation determine the real yield.

Exit

How you buy determines how easily and at what cost you can sell.

Frequently asked questions

Should I buy through a company?
Sometimes, but it is not a default. The answer depends on scale, financing, your residence and your exit horizon, and it needs a tax view alongside ours.
Do you handle portfolio acquisitions?
Yes, including share deals over property-owning companies, coordinated with our M&A practice.
