The notarial system in Spain means that completion is never the exact science that exists in other countries.

We always advise clients to arrange for Power of Attorney so that your agent or solicitor can sign on your behalf. This saves the frustration of sitting around an office for hours on end, waiting for things to get moving!

Only once deeds are signed and the keys are effectively handed over to you can your agent or solicitor arrange for the utility contracts with water and electricity companies.

Therefore, physical possession of the property normally takes 1-2 weeks once deeds are signed. Again, we always advise clients not to book their flights until they receive the OK from the agent or solicitor
