The Buying Process in Spain
Reservation
Once your offer is accepted, a reservation contract is signed with a deposit of 1% of the purchase price, securing the property.
Arras Contract
The arras (preliminary contract) is signed with a deposit of 10%. This legally binds both parties and sets the completion date.
Due Diligence
Legal checks, surveys and mortgage arrangement if needed. We coordinate lawyers, banks and valuers on your behalf.
Completion
Signing at the notary and key handover. As quick as 2 weeks without a mortgage, or up to 2 months with financing.
Buyer's Agent Service
When we act as your exclusive buyer's agent, we charge a fee based on the scope of services included. In return, we work exclusively for you — collaborating with all agents and agencies across the market with full transparency. This means we work solely in your interest, avoiding any conflict of interest.
Our buyer's agent service can include property sourcing, legal coordination, survey arrangement, mortgage assistance, property valuation, and our extensive project management expertise for any renovation or refurbishment needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a bespoke property search work?
Our property search begins with understanding your lifestyle, budget and priorities. We then leverage our extensive network — including off-market opportunities, developer relationships and agency partnerships across Sitges, Castelldefels, Gavà, Barcelona, Girona, Costa Brava and The Cotswolds — to curate a shortlist of properties that match your criteria. We accompany you on viewings, provide market analysis and negotiate on your behalf.
Can you find off-market properties?
Yes. A significant proportion of the finest properties never reach the open market. Through our established network of private sellers, developers and fellow agents, we access exclusive opportunities that are not publicly listed. As a licensed REALTOR and member of API and AICAT, we have access to the broadest professional networks in Catalonia.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover Sitges, Castelldefels, Gavà, Barcelona, Girona and the Costa Brava in Spain, as well as The Cotswolds in the United Kingdom. Each area has its own distinct character and market dynamics, and our local knowledge ensures we guide you to the right location for your lifestyle.
What is the buying process for property in Spain?
The process begins with making an offer, followed by a reservation contract with a deposit of 1% of the purchase price. Next comes the arras (preliminary contract) with a 10% deposit. Finally, completion takes place at the notary. The entire process can take as little as 2 weeks if there is no mortgage involved, or up to 2 months when mortgage financing is required. VERV ONE guides you through every step, coordinating with lawyers, banks and surveyors.
Do you charge buyers for the property search service?
When we act as a buyer's agent, yes — we charge a fee that depends on the scope of services included. In return, we work exclusively for you, collaborating with all agents and agencies with full transparency. This exclusive arrangement means we work solely in your interest, avoiding any conflict of interest. We discuss fees transparently at the outset.
Do you help with mortgage and financing?
Yes. We assist with the entire financing process, including connecting you with banks, guiding you through mortgage applications, arranging professional property valuations and coordinating with all parties to ensure a smooth completion.
