The first BIG query is of course – WHAT COUNRTY? There are many choices when buying a house in Spain, as well as many pitfalls. Pay attention to cultural and legal differences. Although Spain is a large country with a diverse landscape Southern Spain does have the best climate, with more than 300 days of sunshine a year. This attracts a steady rise in the numbers of foreigners settling happily along the 100 miles (160 kms) of developed coastline.
There are properties throughout Spain; you can easily find information with useful tourist feature, area details, plus help, 
tips and advice about buying real estate.
The various types of Spanish property available from villas and apartments, new or resale, through to ruins and renovation projects for sale are explained to help ensure buying Spanish property is completed with satisfaction. You will find properties suitable for holiday homes, investment or full time residency in most regions.
Obviously, great care should be taken when buying real estate in any country in the world and the same is true of Spain. Buyers should make sure that they do not buy a vastly over priced or over valued property by studying the local markets before hand, comparing not just the actual price but the location as well. Remember it is easy to get carried away when you are in a foreign country with a fist full of money looking for that dream home. Be cautious and get legal advice before signing any documents. A lot of property in Spain is sold before building has even started, in which case you will need to get proof of planning permission and plans of the property itself.
In additional you need to take into account unavoidable extra expenses when buying a house in Spain. These include the services of legal advisors, translators, taxes, possible mortgage expenses and, most importantly, the services of a notary. However much you fall in love with a property in Spain, you should avoid relying on the services of a translator provided by your Spanish Estate Agent who is keen to sell the property as quickly and at the highest price possible, and then move on to the next sale.
