    Beware the laws regarding renting in Spain, they are nothing like the laws in UK.

    Can't offer much advice but fairly easy to buy having just purchased a house myself in Spain.

    I would just say you might really want to research inheritance tax on properties as can be very very high if not spouses.

    Tax varies form municipalities. I'm in outskirts of Madrid and it was 6% but down to 4% as I have a tarjeta familia numerosa (3 kids basically).

    You need a 10% deposit usually.

    This tells you about buying process
