Spanish Purchase Compass
2026–2029
Clarity before you buy in Spain
Buying a property in Spain often feels like a dream coming closer: more sun, more peace, more space. Behind that dream are choices that go beyond location and budget. In Spain, you're not just buying a property — you're buying a usage type, a financial position, and a future scenario.
Five strategic criteria for a purchase that fits
In the Purchase Compass, we evaluate your plans along five strategic criteria: usage, time horizon, tax position, region/policy, and management. This combination determines whether a purchase makes sense for your situation — both now and five to ten years from now. It helps you see the difference between a property that looks nice and a purchase that truly fits your situation.
After 45–60 minutes working with the Purchase Compass, you will have a first realistic idea whether buying in Spain now makes sense, or if waiting or investing differently is a better fit for your situation.
The five criteria
Usage
Investing, enjoyment, living, or a combination — what is the real goal?
Time horizon
0–5, 5–10, or 10+ years. What flexibility do you need within that?
Tax position
Box 3, AOW, BV/holding, or Spanish SL — which structure fits?
Region & Policy
Location, regulations, rental policy, and long-term outlook.
Management
Self-managed, local management, or fully serviced — what fits your life?
Why this Purchase Compass
This Purchase Compass helps you to:
