Reservation fee or deposit

Reservation fee or deposit

When buying a property in Spain, following payments terms will usually be applied.

First a reservation fee is paid and a reservation agreement is established. In relation with the signing of a purchase contract, you also pay a down payment (deposit), usually 10% of the purchase price.

When purchasing a new build property, a reservation agreement is made directly with the developer and you normally pay a reservation fee of 3,000 - 6,000 €.
