The Spanish property market: Momentum continues

If you’re considering investing in Spain, the facts speak in favour of acting sooner rather than later:

On a national level, property prices rose by around 8% year-on-year in Q3 2024.
According to one source, year-on-year growth in the first quarter of 2025 reached 12.2% for free-market housing (new + used) in Spain.
Forecasts suggest continuing growth: For 2025 substantive estimates point to price rises of 4-5% across Spain broadly.
Supply-demand imbalance is a key driver: demand remains high (including from foreign buyers) while the structural supply of new housing remains constrained.
Particularly in coastal or tourist-oriented areas (such as the Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, Murcia region) and major cities, the pressure is stronger – creating opportunity for investor clients.

Period	% Growth	Description
Q3 2024	+8%	National average increase year-on-year
Q1 2025	+12.2%	Free-market housing (new + used)
2025 Forecast	+4-5%	Estimated continued growth

Why now is a good time to invest

Rising value: As property prices continue to climb, purchasing sooner helps lock in acquisition cost before further increases.
Rental potential: Many foreign buyers and investors are looking for holiday-let, mid-term rental or relocation properties in Spain—this underpins demand.
Lifestyle & infrastructure draw: Spain offers desirable climate, lifestyle, accessibility from much of Europe, and regional infrastructure improvements — all of which support medium- to long-term value retention.
Tax & legal advice adds value: With the right legal and fiscal structuring (and due diligence) you can optimise your ownership, reduce risk and ensure regulatory compliance — this is where SGM Abogados can make the difference.
Hedging inflation/taking position: With money markets, interest rates and inflation all under pressure across Europe, real-estate remains a tried-and-tested asset class and Spain’s upward trajectory adds appeal.

Key steps we cover for you

Initial consultation – define your objectives (purchase, rental, holiday home, investment) and specify region/price band.
Pre-purchase due diligence – title review, planning/urban-land checks, existing liabilities, tax implications.
Offer & contract review – negotiating terms, deposit terms, timing, contingencies.
Tax & fiscal planning – whether you are resident or non-resident, we advise on acquisition tax, VAT (where applicable), annual property taxes, rental income tax, exit planning.
Closing & registration – vendor funds, notarisation, registration in the Land Registry, ensuring your ownership is properly recorded.
Ongoing compliance & exit strategy – management of rental regulatory risks, ensuring you are up to date with Spanish regulations, as well as preparing for eventual sale or transfer.4

A word of caution

While the Spanish market is favourable, every transaction involves specifics: regional differences, the condition of the property, local planning or licensing issues, tax-residence implications, non-resident mechanisms, rental-licence regimes. At SGM Abogados we carefully assess each case. If any uncertainty arises (for example unusual urban planning, historic building issues, or complex tax-residence risk), we will highlight this clearly and guide you accordingly.
