You will need the title deed, valid ID, energy performance certificate, community fees information, and any relevant licences. Mojo’s legal team coordinates any missing documentation.

With accurate pricing and professional marketing, most properties sell within the 6-month exclusive period. Mojo provides a written marketing plan, viewing feedback, and regular progress reporting throughout.

An exclusive listing agreement means one agency represents the property with full commitment of resources — professional photography, video, marketing campaigns, and buyer database outreach. Mojo operates exclusively only, on a 6-month agreement.

If you are a non-resident selling a Spanish property, the buyer is legally required to withhold 3% of the purchase price and pay it directly to the Spanish tax authorities as an advance against potential capital gains tax. Mojo’s legal and finance teams manage this process.

Sellers in Spain are typically subject to capital gains tax (19–24% for non-residents on the net gain), plusvalía municipal tax on the increase in land value, and a 3% withholding tax for non-residents held by the buyer and paid directly to the Spanish tax authorities.

On completion day, the title deed is signed at the notary, the purchase price is transferred, and legal ownership passes to the buyer. Keys are handed over on the same day.

An NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is a tax identification number required for all property purchases in Spain. Mojo’s in-house legal team assists buyers through the NIE application process.

The notary is a neutral public official who formalises and legally registers the transaction. Both buyer and seller sign the title deed (escritura) in the notary’s presence on completion day.

While not legally required, it is strongly recommended. An independent lawyer protects your interests throughout the transaction. Mojo clients benefit from a 10% discount on in-house legal fees.

Legal due diligence covers ownership verification, outstanding debts and charges, building licences, community obligations, land registry status, and rental licensing where applicable.

A reservation contract is a binding agreement that takes the property off the market while legal due diligence begins. It is typically accompanied by a €6,000 deposit.

Yes. Many purchases are completed remotely using video viewings and a power of attorney, which allows a legal representative to act on your behalf at each stage of the transaction.

Yes, non-residents can legally purchase property in Spain. You will need an NIE (foreign identification number), a Spanish bank account, and legal representation. All of these can be arranged through the House of Mojo legal and finance teams.

Buyers should budget approximately 8–12% of the purchase price on top of the agreed price to cover transfer tax (ITP), notary fees, land registry inscription, and legal representation.

The buying process follows four stages: reservation contract, legal due diligence, private purchase contract, and completion at the notary. The full process typically takes 6–10 weeks depending on legal checks and financing.
