Clear guides to buying, owning and living on the Costa del Sol
Practical guides on property taxes, buying costs and moving to Spain, written by our specialists: lawyers, tax advisors and real estate agents. Updated with the rules in force, so you can plan with real numbers.
Buying & taxes
For international buyers
Buying costs in Marbella & the Costa del Sol
Transfer tax, VAT, notary, registry and legal fees explained, with a worked example on a €750,000 home.
Spanish inheritance tax for foreign owners
Who pays, how much in Andalusia, and how to plan ahead when you own property in Spain.
Non-resident tax in Spain: what you pay every year
The annual taxes of owning a home in Spain without living here, with or without rental income.
Every guide is written by a specialist, a lawyer, a tax advisor or a real estate agent, not by a marketing team.
Worked examples with real rates, so you know what to budget before you make an offer.
We review the rates when the law changes and show the date of the last update on every guide.
News and analysis on the Marbella property market
Our guides are general information and do not replace personal legal or tax advice. Every purchase is different: ask us for advice on your specific case.
Have a question the guides don't answer?
Tell us about the property or the move you are planning. We reply with clear answers and, if you need it, a written estimate of your costs.
