What we do ## Four ways *to hold property in Spain.* House flipping is the fastest way to realise a margin, but it is not the only model we run. Which one fits depends on whether you want the money back in months or a yield every year. Our core service ### House flipping Buy, renovate, sell Horizon **~5 months** Return **Realised at sale** Average net ROI **Strict criteria** We buy an undervalued property, renovate it and sell it. The margin is made at purchase, not at sale, which is why most of the work happens before you sign anything. This is what we do most and what our published figures refer to. ### Build to Rent Renovate to let long term Horizon **Long term** Return **Recurring rent** Exit **Whenever you choose** The property is renovated specifically for long-term letting rather than sale. Slower to pay back, but it produces income every month and defers the capital gain until you decide to sell. ### Buy to Let Acquire for rental yield Horizon **Long term** Return **Passive rent** Involvement **Minimal** Straight acquisition of a property that already works as a rental. The least hands-on option and the one that suits investors who want exposure to Spanish property without a renovation project. ### Coliving & short-term Flexible living models Horizon **Medium term** Return **Higher gross yield** Regulation **Strongly local** Properties adapted to coliving, flexible living or short stays. Yields can be higher, but local licensing rules vary enormously between municipalities and have to be checked before buying, not after. Buying from abroad ## What changes *when you are not resident.* Investing in Spain from another country is entirely normal and there is no restriction on foreigners buying residential property. There are, however, four practical steps nobody warns you about. ### You need an NIE A Spanish tax identification number for foreigners. It is required to buy property, open a bank account and pay taxes, and obtaining it takes time, so it is the first thing to start. ### You do not need to be here The purchase can be signed by power of attorney granted before a notary. You do not need to be in Spain during the renovation or the sale, which is how most of our international clients work. ### Non-residents are taxed differently Rental income and capital gains are taxed under a separate regime for non-residents, and buyers withhold a percentage on account when a non-resident sells. Worth resolving with a tax adviser before buying. ### Transfer tax varies by region Property transfer tax on resale homes is set by each autonomous region, so the same purchase price carries a different tax bill in Andalusia, Madrid or Catalonia. It goes into the calculation from the start. Frequently asked questions ## Investing in Spain *from abroad.* Can foreigners buy property in Spain? Yes. There is no restriction on non-residents buying residential property in Spain. You will need a Spanish tax identification number for foreigners (NIE) and, in practice, a Spanish bank account. Do I have to travel to Spain to buy? No. The purchase can be signed on your behalf under a power of attorney granted before a notary, and you do not need to be present during the renovation or the sale. Many of our clients see the property only once it is finished. Who owns the property? You do. The property is registered in your name at the Spanish Land Registry and you make the final purchase decision. We act as advisers and managers, and we never handle payments to the seller or to the contractors. What return should I expect? We apply strict buying criteria and a fixed schedule to every project. We do not validate a project that does not project at least 15%. Nobody can guarantee a return on property, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What do you charge? A fixed project fee of 4,990 EUR + VAT, plus 10% of the renovation budget with a minimum of 2,490 EUR + VAT. There is no success fee on the capital gain. Both amounts are paid in two equal halves. Do you speak English? Yes. We work in English, Spanish, Catalan and French, the contract is available in English, and we market the finished property in several languages, which matters a great deal on the coast. Professional contract ## Read it *before you sign it.* Every investor gets the **same professional contract**: 25 clauses plus 3 annexes, turnkey renovation at a closed price, target sale value agreed in writing, partial refund if we do not find a property within 8 months, and mandatory mediation before any dispute.
