Property purchases in Spain are normally priced and completed in euros. The purchase price, taxes, notary costs and Land Registry fees must therefore be budgeted and settled in euros.

International buyers can still use funds held in British pounds, US dollars or another home currency. These funds must be converted into euros before the relevant payments are made.

How can buyers reduce currency-conversion costs?

Exchange rates and provider fees can make a significant difference when transferring a large amount for a Spanish property purchase. Buyers should compare:

• The exchange rate offered
• Any transfer or conversion fees
• The final number of euros received
• Transfer limits and processing times
• Whether the provider is appropriately regulated

Traditional banks may apply exchange-rate margins or transfer charges, while specialist currency providers may offer different rates and services. No provider should be assumed to offer the mid-market rate without checking its full terms.

How are payments made during the purchase?

Payments are usually made in stages according to the reservation agreement, private purchase contract or off-plan payment schedule. Buyers can convert and transfer the required funds before each deadline rather than exchanging the entire purchase amount at once.

However, exchange rates can move between payment dates. Buyers should therefore plan their currency strategy early and keep sufficient funds available for taxes, legal fees and other purchasing costs.

Our team can help international buyers understand the payment schedule and coordinate it with their lawyer, bank, mortgage provider and chosen currency-transfer service.
