Why buy new?

New builds offer current building standards and energy efficiency, warranties under Spanish building law and, off-plan, the chance to choose a unit early and pay in stages.

What to check

  • Building licence and planning status
  • Developer track record
  • Specification and completion-date clauses
  • Bank guarantees for payments before completion
  • Community fees and communal areas
