1. The Importance of Trust for Belgian Buyers

Belgian buyers are particularly drawn to the **quality of life on the Costa Blanca**: the climate, gastronomy, and a real estate market offering excellent value for money.

Choosing a reliable partner is not an option; it's a necessity.

Our **experience** with Belgian clients has shown us the importance of upfront tax advice to avoid unwelcome surprises.

Overview of Tax Differences
Tax Concept Approach in Belgium (Simplified) Approach in Spain (Simplified)
Registration Duties (Purchase) Variable rate (e.g., 12.5% in Wallonia/Brussels) ITP (Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales), 10% on the Costa Blanca (variable).
Property Tax Property prepayment (based on cadastral income) IBI (based on Cadastral Value).
Non-Resident Tax N/A (if property in Belgium) Mandatory IRNR (even if property is not rented out).
Important Tax Disclaimer

Never assume that Belgian tax rules apply. The structuring of a purchase (individual name, company) must be validated by a local expert. This is central to our **duty of advice**.

FAQ: Premium Guide for UK/US Investors in Spanish Real Estate

Investing on the Costa Blanca as a UK/US buyer. Understanding Spanish property taxation and choosing a trusted partner.

Voguimmo is strengthening its presence to better serve its **international clients**, who represent a vital part of its investor community on the Costa Blanca. Buying property in Spain is a major investment decision that requires absolute trust and local expertise. Voguimmo strives to make its agency, officially registered (RAICV 1580 – Register of Real Estate Agents of the Valencian Community), as accessible and transparent as possible for these **international investors**.

Voguimmo's partnerships with reputable online directories aim to formalize its commitment to proximity and reliability. These collaborations offer **international clients** a verified and trusted access point to start their property project in Alicante. This serves as a mark of seriousness and transparency, proving that Voguimmo is an established company that can be easily verified.

Engaging in an overseas property purchase involves significant financial stakes. **UK/US buyers** must navigate complex taxation, specific legal verifications (such as the **NIE (Foreigner Identification Number)** and the **Nota Simple (Land Registry report)**), and potentially a language barrier. Choosing a reliable and experienced partner is not an option; it's an absolute necessity to secure your investment.

The Costa Blanca particularly attracts **international buyers** thanks to its exceptional quality of life. It offers a sunny climate, rich gastronomy, and a real estate market with excellent value for money. These assets make it a prime destination for investment and second homes.

Voguimmo guarantees its reliability in several ways:
  • Its official registration as a real estate agency (RAICV 1580), attesting to its professionalism and compliance.
  • Its partnerships with recognized online directories/platforms, which provide proof of its seriousness and establishment.
  • Total transparency on fees, investment risks, and all stages of the purchase process.
These elements demonstrate the agency's commitment to being a credible and accessible company for **international clients**.

The Voguimmo team is unique because its members are **fluent in English**, experienced, and based in Alicante. They have a deep understanding of **international** and Spanish mentalities, allowing them to offer **tailored support**. They share their on-the-ground experience and are able to provide adapted advice, from property search to the investor's complete settling-in. This cultural and linguistic proximity is a major asset.

Voguimmo offers comprehensive, tailored support for any property project on the Costa Blanca. Its services include:
  • Searching for and selecting properties that match the buyer's criteria.
  • Tax and legal advice adapted to the specifics of overseas investment.
  • Full monitoring of all administrative and legal procedures.
  • Settling-in support, ensuring a smooth and peaceful transition.
The objective is to secure every step of your investment in Spain.

Voguimmo implements its expertise through a rigorous methodology to secure each investment project:
  1. Specialized Expertise: Mastery of Spanish taxation (**Non-Resident Income Tax (IRNR)**, **PlusvalĂ­a (municipal capital gains tax)**) and legal aspects (**NIE**, **Coastal Law**).
  2. On-the-Ground Experience: Our **English-speaking** agents living in Alicante share their in-depth knowledge of the market and local realities.
  3. Recognized Authority: The agency is registered (RAICV 1580) and partners with trusted online directories/platforms, attesting to its legitimacy.
  4. Total Transparency: Clear communication on fees, inherent investment risks, and process steps, strengthening mutual trust.

Spanish property taxation is radically different from that in the **UK/US**. Key concepts such as "tax residency", capital gains taxation, or inheritance taxes do not operate in the same way. For example, even if the property is not rented out, a non-resident is subject to **IRNR (Non-Resident Income Tax)**. It is crucial never to assume that UK/US tax rules apply in Spain. An acquisition structure (personal name, company) must imperatively be validated by a local expert.

For a **UK/US buyer**, it is essential to understand the main Spanish property taxes. Here is a simplified comparative overview of the differences:
Simplified Tax Differences Overview
Tax ConceptApproach in the UK/US (Simplified)Approach in Spain (Simplified)
Property Transfer Tax (Purchase)Varies (e.g., **Stamp Duty Land Tax in the UK / various transfer taxes in the US, depending on state**).**ITP (Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales)**, 10% on the Costa Blanca (rate varies by region).
Property Tax**Council Tax in the UK / Property Tax in the US** (based on property value/banding).**IBI (Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles)**, based on the Valor Catastral (cadastral value).
Non-Resident TaxN/A (if property in UK/US)IRNR mandatory (even if property is not rented out).

IRNR, or **Non-Resident Income Tax**, is a mandatory annual tax in Spain for anyone owning property in Spanish territory but not being a tax resident there. This tax applies even if the property is not rented out and generates no income. It is calculated on a notional basis of the property's cadastral value, representing an imputed income.

It is crucial to obtain expert tax advice beforehand because Spanish taxation is complex and differs from that in the **UK/US**. A misunderstanding or lack of advice can lead to unpleasant surprises and unforeseen costs. A local expert can validate the best acquisition structure (personal name, company), optimize tax implications, and ensure compliance with Spanish legislation. This is at the heart of Voguimmo's advisory duty.

Ignoring Spanish tax specificities can expose the investor to several major risks:
  • Penalties and fines for non-declaration or incorrect declaration of taxes (IRNR, IBI, etc.).
  • Complications during property resale, particularly regarding the **municipal PlusvalĂ­a** or capital gains tax on property.
  • Difficulties in managing inheritance, as inheritance laws are also governed by different rules.
  • Missed tax optimization, leading to higher long-term costs.
Poor tax management can seriously jeopardize the profitability of your investment.

If you are in the **UK/US** and dream of a life in the sun, Voguimmo is your trusted partner. You can contact their **English-speaking** team:
  • By visiting our website or relevant online directories for full contact details.
  • By direct phone via the **English-speaking** line: +33 6 47 20 11 09.
  • By arranging an appointment for an in-person discussion at their Alicante agency or remotely.
The team is ready to discuss your project and assist you with this important undertaking.

Voguimmo's registration under RAICV 1580 (**Register of Real Estate Agents of the Valencian Community**) is a fundamental guarantee of security. It certifies that the agency operates legally and complies with strict regulations in the Spanish real estate sector. This means Voguimmo is an officially recognized entity, offering a guarantee of professionalism and transparency. For such a crucial investment project, relying on a registered agency is essential for the investor's peace of mind.
