About

Inmobiliaria Daicon is a plain-English notebook for people thinking about buying a home in Spain.

“Inmobiliaria” is the Spanish word for real estate, and it is the word buyers meet on every shop window and every listing. This site uses it as a starting point for something simpler: explaining, in order, what happens between the first viewing and the day the deed is signed.

What you will find here

• Buying Steps: the NIE, checks on the property, the deposit contract, the notary and the registry.
• Costs & Taxes: what a purchase usually costs on top of the price, and the yearly costs of owning.
• Regions & Towns: how Andalusia, Valencia, Catalonia, Madrid and the islands differ.

What this site is not

It is a reading guide, not an estate agency. There are no listings, nothing is for sale or to let, and nobody here can be hired to find, value or buy a property. Nothing on the site is legal, tax or financial advice.

How the guides are written

The guides describe how purchases generally work in Spain. Regional taxes, rental rules and fees change, so figures are given as ranges and the pages say where to check the current position. For your own purchase, an independent lawyer, the notary and your bank have the final word.

Pictures

The images are illustrations made for this site. They show typical Spanish scenes rather than real properties for sale.
