In order to buy any property in Spain, you will need to apply for an NIE number, which is a Spanish identification number
Following a Royal decree established on 9th March 1990, anyone of whatever nationality, resident or not, who has any business in Spain, must have a NIE number which identifies them on all official documents. This number always begins with an X and is followed by seven numbers and a letter. The number is personal to you and does not expire.
It is essential to have this number or you must at least ensure that you have applied for it before purchasing a property and when dealing with the Spanish tax authorities. At Prestige Property Finders we can assist you in applying for your Spanish NIE number and guide you through the purchasing process.
