Buying property in Spain from abroad is a minefield you can’t see.

You fly in for a weekend, you like the place, the agent pushes for a deposit, and the clock starts. What nobody tells you:

The seller may not be the real owner, or there may be co-owners who haven’t agreed to sell.

The property may carry hidden debts — outstanding mortgage, embargos, unpaid community fees.

The surface in the listing may be 5–15% bigger than what is registered.

The real tax base for ITP/AJD is the cadastral reference value, not the price you pay.

Upcoming building works can cost you €5,000–€20,000 six months after you sign.

Your lawyer is often paid to close the deal, not to question it.

An independent pre-purchase report that pays for itself the moment you find one red flag.

CasaVeritas looks at the property you are about to buy and answers the five questions that matter.

1. Is this property what the listing says?

Cadastre vs. listing check, registered surface, year built and property type.

2. What is the real market value?

Comparable sales and rentals, fair-value range and negotiation margin.

3. What will it really cost in taxes?

ITP/AJD calculated on the higher of price or cadastral reference value.

4. Is anything attached to the property?

Charges, mortgages, embargos and co-ownership surprises.

5. Should you move forward?

A single traffic light: proceed, negotiate or walk away.

Most reports end with “negotiate”. Our clients typically recover between €8,000 and €22,000 from the asking price using the evidence in the report.
Sample report page

A decision page you can actually use.

The report is built to answer the buyer’s real question quickly: what is the signal, what is at stake, and what should I do before signing?

  • Clear verdict. A global signal and a plain-English recommendation.
  • Money at stake. Price, tax timing and negotiation range shown upfront.
  • Actionable findings. Red and amber risks become concrete next steps.
