Is Buying Property in Spain Safe?       
Here's What You Need to Know

​

 You need Someone to be Truly on Your Side

 

If you're thinking about buying property in Spain, you've probably asked yourself:
"Is it really safe to buy real estate here?"

​

The answer is , YES, but only if you have independent guidance from someone whose job it is to protect your interests, not the seller’s.

​

At Barcelona Property Partners, we work exclusively with international buyers, offering full support throughout the process—from legal checks and contract reviews to negotiation and closing.

 

Why? Because we’ve seen too many buyers make costly mistakes when they don’t have the right advice from day one.

​

The Hidden Risks Most Buyers Don't See

​

Spain has a complex real estate system. Properties may be incorrectly registered. Contracts often include unclear or even unfair clauses.

 

And here's something many buyers don’t realize:

Most real estate agents in Spain are paid by the seller. That means their primary responsibility is to the seller—not you.

​

Without an independent buyer’s agent, you’re at risk of signing contracts that don’t protect you, missing critical red flags, or overpaying for a property that comes with legal baggage.

​

A Real Example: When a 10% Deposit Is at Risk

​​

One of our clients recently came across a clause in a contrato de arras (deposit contract) that stated she would lose her deposit if her mortgage application was denied. Under Catalan law, the deposit must be refunded if financing is not approved—as long as the contract reflects that. Unfortunately, some sellers resist including this clause, and buyers who don’t know their rights end up losing thousands.

In this case, our client had the funds to proceed without a mortgage—but the point is this:
She was never clearly informed of her rights.

​

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY HAVING YOUR OWN AGENT MATTERS

​

Why Work With a Buyer’s Agent in Spain?

 

Hiring a dedicated buyer’s agent means:

  • Someone is looking out for your interests—not the seller’s.

  • You get honest, independent advice throughout the process.

  • Contracts are reviewed with your protection in mind.

  • You avoid costly mistakes and legal headaches.

 

Buying property in Spain can be a rewarding and exciting experience—but only when you have the right team on your side. At Barcelona Property Partners, we make sure you feel informed, protected, and confident every step of the way.
