De betaling bij de overdracht.
Veel dingen bij de aankoop van een huis in Spanje lopen anders dan bij de aankoop van een huis in Nederland. De betaling bij de overdracht is er één van.
De Nederlandse notaris.
In Nederland maak je een dag voor de overdracht de koopsom over op de derdengelden rekening van de notaris. Na het tekenen van de koopakte maakt de notaris de koopsom over aan de verkopende partij. Indien er sprake is van een hypotheek zal de notaris ook de hypotheek betalen uit de koopsom en daarna het restant overmaken aan de verkopende partij.
Ook als er schulden zijn en er nog zaken verrekend moeten worden zal de notaris deze verrekenen en in mindering brengen op de koopsom die hij uiteindelijk doorbetaalt aan de verkoper. In Nederland neemt de notaris dus een groot deel van het werk voor zijn rekening en heb je er verder geen omzien meer naar. Deze luxe kennen we in Spanje niet.
De Spaanse notaris.
Om te beginnen heeft de Spaanse notaris geen derdengelden rekening waar je de koopsom op kunt storten. Ook bemoeit de Spaanse notaris zich niet met openstaande schulden en hypotheken die nog betaald moeten worden. Hij zal het melden als er een hypotheek is of als er schulden zijn, maar hoe deze worden afgelost valt buiten zijn bemoeienis.
Betaling koopsom gaat direct naar de verkopende partij.
Omdat in Spanje de notaris zich niet met de betalingen bemoeit zul je dus de koopsom rechtstreeks aan de verkoper moeten betalen. Je kunt de betaling doen door middel van een overboeking of door middel van een door de bank gegarandeerde cheque.

Many house buyers in Spain have a purchasing agent to help them buy. Here, some talk about their personal experiences with Houses in Spain.
"Recently, Rinus van Vliet of the estate agency Houses in Spain has provided us with the entire procurement process of our house in Spain.
From the outset, we had the fullest confidence in Rinus and he did it very well!
He combines thorough knowledge with a pragmatic approach. He knows the Spanish market, local regulations and legislation. The best way to do business in Spain is a combination of him with a Dutch, no nonsense approach.
His opinions are honest and good, but he also leaves room for his own vision and input. We have often wondered how we would have completed this complex and specialist route without Houses in Spain and Rinus. "

Top 5 mistakes when buying a house in Spain.
Many buyers of a house in Spain make the mistake of doing the following in the purchasing process.
1. Make the first payment too fast.
Before you make a first payment to the seller, you must be sure that you have negotiated everything you would like. Once you have paid anything, it is more difficult to negotiate with the seller. The seller already has a portion of the purchase price and therefore your negotiating position is weak.
2. Not putting everything on paper.
Often, negotiations take place when considering buying a house, but are left as a verbal record; for example, an arrangement about painting to be done. This happens under the denominator, "we'll do that later". Or "that will be fine". It may sound fine, but could be ‘’forgotten’’, so put it on paper. That prevents arguments later.
3. Insufficient monitoring of the areas. The areas of the plot and the property are insufficiently registered. These must correspond to the areas listed in the property register. Deviations often occur and do not have to be a problem, but they must be corrected by the seller when transferring.

Het moment van tekenen is het moment dat je alles moet verrekenen.
Dit moet je altijd doen.

Jaren na de aankoop viel er nog een aanslag op de deurmat.
De verkoper heeft de verplichting een gemeentebelasting te betalen over de kadastrale waardestijging van de grond. De hoogte van de aanslag is afhankelijk van het aantal jaren dat hij eigenaar is. Deze gemeentebelasting heet de "Plus Valïa". Laat dit bedrag altijd uitrekenen en hou het in op de te betalen koopsom.
