For property in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Byron Bay, visit nsre.com.au.
Behind the Gates of La Zagaleta

A Private Villa for Sale in La Zagaleta

Buying Abroad, Handled Personally
Buying from abroad
The same four stages whether you are buying a villa in Marbella or a residence in Dubai, and whether you join us in person or from another time zone.
A Private Conversation
We start with the purpose of the purchase: a second home, a long-term holding for the family, or an investment. By call, by video or in person.
Viewing, in Person or by Video
Private viewings on the ground, or a live video walkthrough with our team, arranged around your time zone.
Structure and Due Diligence
With trusted legal and financial partners: title checks, NIE registration in Spain, escrow and power of attorney where required, and nominee or holding structures where discretion matters.
Settlement, in Confidence
Non-disclosure agreements and confidential settlement where you want them, with contracts, signing and title transfer completed from abroad if you prefer.

Questions International Buyers Ask
Questions
Can I buy without travelling?
Yes. Viewings can be held by live video with our team across time zones, and the whole acquisition, including due diligence, contract signing and title transfer, can be completed remotely.
Can a purchase be kept confidential?
Yes. We work with legal structures and advisers that put discretion first. Trusts, holding companies and nominee services can be arranged where required, and non-disclosure agreements are available.
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?
Yes. International buyers can own property outright in Dubai's freehold areas, which include Downtown Dubai and Business Bay.
What does buying in Spain involve for a non-resident?
Foreign buyers can acquire Spanish property freely. You will need a Spanish tax number (NIE) and a local bank account. Buyers typically pay transfer tax of 6 to 10 per cent and notary and registration fees of about 1.5 per cent, then annual IBI property tax. We work with vetted legal partners at each stage.
Is finance available to non-residents?
In Spain, banks and international lenders offer mortgages to non-residents, typically at 60 to 70 per cent of the value depending on your profile. We introduce multilingual brokers who specialise in buyers with foreign income.
How is price guidance shared?
For La Zagaleta, price guidance is sent privately with the dossier, together with photography, floor plans and video. For the Dubai residences, we send floor plans, pricing and availability on request.
