The topics we cover in this video are:
1. Can Non-Residents Buy a House in Spain?
Yes they can. But there are a couple of extra steps. And the mortgage deposit will be a little higher than a resident.

2. How Much Money Do You Need?
Generally for residents you need about 20% in cash for the deposit, plus 10% for taxes and fees. For non-residents the deposit amounts can be up to 50%

3. When Is the Best Time To Buy?
It looks like property prices are going to fall due to COVID about 6-9%. And they may not recover until about 2024.

4. Where Should You Buy?
This is a personal decision - village or city. But we'll cover our experience of how we chose where to buy in Madrid.

5. What Kind of Property Should You Buy?
Should you buy a chalet, piso, apartamento, ático? We'll cover what all the terms mean here.

6. What Features Are Important To You?
Terrace, what floor, how many bedrooms, interior vs. exterior? We'll discuss what features you might want in your home.

7. Where To Look For A Property?
Should you look online (and where online) or go via estate agents?

8. What To Look For When Visiting A Property
All those things you need to check to make sure you don't wind up with a dud.
