Buying Property in Spain with OriMar Living
Start with what matters to you — budget, lifestyle, location and timescale. OriMar Living can help you narrow the search, understand the areas and move from browsing to sensible viewings.
A More Useful Way to Start Your Property Search
Buying in Spain often starts with hundreds of listings and very little context. Our approach is to understand what you actually need, help you compare the right areas and then focus on properties worth your time.
That means less random scrolling, fewer unsuitable viewings and a clearer route from first search to a serious shortlist.
Tell Ori What You’re Looking For
Skip the generic enquiry form. Tell Ori what you want in normal language and the assistant will ask the useful follow-up questions.
It can build a structured buyer brief for the OriMar Living team and, once connected to the live property inventory, recommend suitable properties and areas.
Start with your requirements
For example: “We want a 3-bedroom villa near the Mar Menor, around €450,000, ideally with a pool. We’ll be in Spain in October.”
Ori can then clarify priorities, timing, preferred areas and contact details before sending the qualified enquiry to OriMar Living.

If you fall in love with a property, we’ll guide you through legal checks, mortgage setup, and NIE registration—so your new life in Spain starts stress-free.
Understand the Area Before You Buy
The right property in the wrong location is still the wrong purchase. Our area guides are designed to help you compare lifestyle, beaches, golf, services, communities and the type of property stock you are likely to find.
Independent Professional Advice Matters
OriMar Living can help with the property search and sales process, but legal, tax, mortgage and technical matters should be handled by appropriately qualified professionals acting for you.
Our role is to keep the property journey organised and make sure the right questions are raised at the right time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy a property in Spain if I don’t live there?
Yes! Foreign buyers are welcome. You’ll need an NIE number and a Spanish bank account — both of which we help arrange for you.
Can I buy without travelling to Spain?
Absolutely. You can purchase remotely using virtual viewings and Power of Attorney (POA). Many OriMar clients do this from their home country.
How much are the buying costs?
Expect 10–13% of the sale price for taxes, legal fees, notary, and registration. We provide a personalised cost breakdown up front.
Do I need a lawyer?
Yes. A bilingual independent lawyer handles contracts, checks the registry, and protects your interests. We can recommend trusted legal partners.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Yes. Most Spanish banks lend up to 70% of the purchase price for non-residents. We can introduce you to English-speaking mortgage advisors.
Is it safe to buy off-plan?
Yes, when done correctly. We only work with vetted developers who provide bank guarantees and stage-based payment protection.
What happens after I buy?
We help you settle in with our after-sales concierge — from utility setup to insurance, key-holders, and residency support if needed.
Can I rent out my property?
Yes. You can rent long-term or short-term. We advise on local licensing, taxes, and connect you with trusted rental managers.
What areas do you recommend?
It depends on your goal! Playa Flamenca and Villamartín are great for rentals, while Los Alcázares and Campoamor suit relaxed living.
