Buying in Castile and León
Spain’s largest region is a treasury of heritage cities (Salamanca, Segovia, Burgos, León) and the Ribera del Duero wine country, with historic property at prices the coast can’t match.
Inland Spain offers exceptional value. And yes, Spanish banks finance non-resident purchases in Castile and León just as they do on the coast. For townhouses, village homes and rural properties, financing of up to 60–70% of the property value is typically available, though some lenders are stricter about very rural or unregistered buildings. We check that for you up front.
Wherever in the world you're based, our team compares terms across 15+ Spanish lenders, negotiates on your behalf, arranges your property valuation, and stays with you and the bank right through to completion.

Resale homes in Castile and León carry a regional property transfer tax (ITP) of around 8% of the purchase price. New-build homes pay 10% VAT plus stamp duty instead. Treat this as a general guide: the exact rate depends on the price, your circumstances and current regional rules. We confirm the precise figure for your purchase.
