This is a website for buyers, owners, and sellers of property in Spain, offering reliable information and resources to help you get things done with confidence.

The draft law remains largely unchanged, and now goes back to the lower house for final approval.
The law that will allow non-EU nationals to get qualified Spanish residency by investing in property in Spain is one step closer to becoming a reality, after the Spanish Senate approved the draft last week.

The law will enter into force the day it is published in the BOE.
Unforeseen problems aside, this draft should become law in the next few weeks, around the beginning of October.
