5 Things to Check Before Leaving a Deposit on a Spanish Property

Buying a home in Spain is a dream for so many — the sunshine, sea views, and “good vibes” are impossible to resist. But here’s the truth: those good vibes can be expensive if you rush into a deposit without proper checks.

Every year, buyers lose thousands because they get caught up in the excitement and skip essential steps.

The Costly Mistake Most Buyers Make

Here’s a familiar story:

  • You come to Spain for a weekend getaway.

  • You find “the one” — a villa, apartment, or countryside escape.

  • The agent tells you, “Leave a deposit now to secure it — properties move fast!”

And just like that, many buyers hand over money without knowing:

  • If the property is fully legal

  • If there are hidden issues or debts

  • If the seller is even in the position to sell

The result? Stress, lost deposits, and costly surprises that could have been avoided.
