The ever sunny climate, culture and the many wonderful activities available make it an exciting place to own a property overseas.<\/p>\n<p>The Bay of Biscay has a slightly different climate than anywhere else in Spain due to its location: an Oceanic climate is found here which just means that the summers are not as dry. The beautiful scenery, weather and wonderful events and culture make Spain a fantastic place to live and visit.<\/p>\n<p>You can find all sorts of Spanish property from traditional Spanish homes to modern apartments and resort villas.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you will need is an NIE which is a tax identifier for Spain and you will need this before you even walk into an estate agents office. You can get this from a local tax office in the area. You will also need this before you open a Spanish bank account.<\/p>\n<p>One of the benefits of purchasing property in Spain is that the large UK high street banks have partners in Spain which makes getting a mortgage to finance your purchase far easier. A 10 percent deposit is payable  once the initial contracts are signed by both parties.<\/p>\n<p>Other costs you will needd to consider are VAT and Stamp Duty. Very similar to purchasing property in the United Kingdom<\/p>\n<div class='uawresource'>\n<div style='italic;' class='uawabout'>About the Author:<\/div>\n<div class='uawlinks'>Before <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ownershipabroad.com\">buying property Abroad<\/a>, be sure to get the Ownership Abroad Guide to Buying Property Abroad and Guide to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ownershipabroad.com\/uk_mortgages_abroad.php\">UK Mortgages Abroad<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spain is becoming ever popular with people wishing to buy abroad.
