Valid ID or Passport: You must present the ID or passport of all parties involved in the transaction.
Foreign Identification Number (NIE) or Foreigner Identity Card (TIE): This number is essential for foreign residents carrying out economic activities in Spain. It is necessary to present it to the notary and for tax management.
Energy Efficiency Certificate: Since 2013, it is mandatory for every property for sale or rent to have this certificate, which indicates the energy rating of the property.
First Occupation License: For newly built properties, this document, issued by the town hall, confirms that the property meets urban planning regulations and is habitable. Additionally, new homes must have a mandatory ten-year insurance policy.
Habitability Certificate: Signed by an architect or surveyor, this guarantees that the property meets the minimum quality standards to be inhabited.
