Buying property in Spain from abroad comes with blind spots.

You may visit for a weekend, like the apartment, feel pressure to reserve it, and suddenly the process starts moving quickly. Before you commit, CasaVeritas checks the issues that are easy to miss:

The person selling may not match the registered owner, or there may be co-owners or title issues to clarify.

The property may carry charges or unpaid obligations, such as mortgages, embargos or community debts.

The surface advertised may differ from the registered or cadastral surface.

The tax calculation may depend on the cadastral reference value, not only on the agreed purchase price.

Upcoming community works or building issues can affect your real cost after completion.

Different professionals may focus on closing the transaction; CasaVeritas focuses on helping you understand the risk before you decide.

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.
