Our Real Estate Law department handles both national and international operations, ensuring a secure and efficient process for acquiring and managing properties in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Every investor in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria should seek proper legal advice when purchasing real estate, focusing on the property’s sale conditions and legal status. Good legal guidance helps assess investment risks.
Due diligence is a thorough investigation conducted during the purchase to identify potential contingencies and risks. This process results in a detailed report with a legal assessment of the transaction. It is crucial for the seller to cooperate by providing all relevant information about the property to facilitate this analysis.
Investing in real estate in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria can be profitable, but foreign investors must consider the tax responsibilities, which depend on their tax residency and the countries of origin of both the buyer and seller. These factors can significantly impact the taxation of the investment.
A foreign investor purchasing real estate in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria must consider several taxes, including the Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales (ITP), ranging from 6% to 10% for second-hand properties, and a 10% IVA for new properties. Additionally, the investor must pay the annual Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles (IBI) and, if renting out the property, income tax on the rental income. Upon selling, they will face the plusvalía municipal tax and potential capital gains taxes.
The purchase of real estate in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria does not require the investor to have a residence permit. Both European Union citizens and non-EU nationals can acquire properties without needing residency. However, due to tax considerations, some foreign investors may consider obtaining tax residency in Spain to avoid double taxation. To do so, they must meet certain criteria, such as residing in Spain for more than 183 days a year or having the center of their economic activities based there.
The Golden Visa is a residency visa for non-EU foreign investors interested in acquiring real estate in Spain. It allows the investor and their family to regularize their status in the country without the need for a minimum stay. The main requirement is to invest in properties with a minimum value free of charges. Additional requirements include having no criminal record and obtaining private health insurance. This visa can be renewed and eventually allows for applying for permanent residency and Spanish citizenship.
