Why new build

6 reasons to buy a new build in Spain

A new home gives you more safety, lower bills and less work.

10 years of warranty

Spanish law protects you. 10 years on the structure, 3 years on installations and 1 year on finishes.

A energy label

New homes follow the latest energy code. Most get an A or B label, so your bills stay low.

100% payments protected

Buying off plan? By law, every payment you make before the keys is covered by a bank guarantee or insurance.

0 renovation

Everything is new: kitchen, bathrooms, wiring and pipes. No repairs and no surprises.

1st owner

You choose the home, the floor and often the finishes. Nobody lived there before you.

3 steps to pay

Reserve, pay in stages during the build, and pay the rest at the keys. You get time to plan.

The rules are changing

Energy rules get stricter. A new build is ready.

In 2024 the EU passed new energy rules for buildings. They apply in Spain too.

Which energy label must a home have in 2030?

In short: a new home needs an A. For older homes, E is the letter to watch.

A

New homes from 2030

From 2030 every new building must be zero-emission. On the new EU label scale that is an A.

E

Older homes: the letter to watch

The European Parliament first asked for at least E by 2030 and D by 2033. The final law sets a target per country instead. Spain must cut the energy use of its homes by 16% by 2030, mostly in homes with the worst labels, such as F and G. Spain has not fixed a letter yet.

A/B

New build today

Most new homes get an A or B label. They are ready for 2030 and for 2035.

  1. 2020

    Since 2020, every new home in Spain must be a nearly zero-energy building.

  2. 2030

    Every new building must be zero-emission. Spain must cut the energy use of its homes by 16%.

  3. 2035

    The cut must reach 20% to 22%.

Older homes will need upgrades such as insulation, windows and heating. A new build already meets the standard.

Good to know

Questions buyers ask

General information, not legal or tax advice. Rates and rules can change. Ask us for the exact costs of the home you like.

What warranty do I get on a new build in Spain?

Spanish building law gives you 3 warranties. 10 years for structural defects, backed by a mandatory insurance policy. 3 years for defects in installations that affect how you live in the home. 1 year for finishes.

Are my payments safe when I buy off plan?

Yes. By law the developer must secure every payment you make before completion with a bank guarantee or an insurance policy. If the home is not delivered, you get your money back with interest.

What taxes and costs come with a new build?

You pay 10% VAT (IVA) on the price. Stamp duty (AJD) adds 1.2% to 1.5%, depending on the region. Notary, land registry and lawyer add about 1% to 2%. Plan for about 13% to 14% on top of the price.

How do I pay for a home that is still being built?

Most developers ask for a reservation fee, then 30% to 50% in stages during the build. You pay the rest when you get the keys. Each development has its own payment plan.

Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?

Yes. Spanish banks usually lend non-residents 60% to 70% of the price. The mortgage starts when the home is finished and you sign the deed.

Why does the energy label matter?

A home with an A or B label needs far less energy for heating and cooling. EU rules get stricter in 2030 and 2035. A new build already meets them, so you do not face upgrade costs.

Which energy label must a home have in 2030?

A new home must be zero-emission from 2030. On the new EU label scale that is an A. For older homes the EU law has no fixed letter. The European Parliament first asked for at least E by 2030 and D by 2033. In the final law, Spain must cut the energy use of its homes by 16% by 2030, mostly in the homes with the worst labels. Spain has not set its own rule yet. With an A or B label, a new build is on the safe side.
