If you sign a standard &#8220;Arras Penitenciales&#8221; and your financing falls through (common for non-residents due to stricter bank criteria), the seller is legally entitled to keep your deposit.

Even if you buy a house for \u20ac300,000, if the tax uthority (AEAT) believes it&#8217;s worth \u20ac400,000, you will be taxed on the higher amount. <br><br>We check this value <em>before<\/em> you offer, so you know exactly how much Property Transfer Tax (ITP) you will really pay.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772722335645\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What happens if the property has a tenant?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Spain has very strong tenant protection laws. If you buy a property with a tenant, you may be legally forced to keep them for years, even if the seller says they are leaving. We review rental contracts and verify the property is truly &#8220;vacant possession&#8221; before you sign.                                        <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772722053346\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What happens with &#8220;community debts&#8221; (Derramas)?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Any building works approved by the community of owners before your purchase date should legally be paid by the seller. However, if you don&#8217;t check the meeting minutes (actas) before signing, you might inherit these costs. <br><br>It is common for buildings to have approved facade repairs (\u20ac10k-\u20ac30k per neighbor) that the seller &#8220;forgets&#8221; to mention.

They can include unpaid mortgages, tax debts, or rights of way. <br><br>Buying a home with &#8220;cargas&#8221; means you inherit those problems.
