Selling Process in Spain
Necessary Paperwork
Recently in Spain there has been a new law passed called decree 218. This law has been made to ensure that accurate information and complete transparency is available to all potential buyers of properties in Spain.
By order of law, all agents with a property for sale must have all the relevant and accurate information for every property they have listed for sale.
This decree can only be viewed as positive as its aim is to instil confidence in potential buyers both now and in the future.
