The Real Spain Estate Company helps international buyers on the Costa Blanca North. These guides bring together what we explain to our clients every week, checked against the 2026 rules.

Frequently asked questions

Which language do I receive?

You choose one language when you buy: English, Dutch, German, French or Spanish. Need a second language, for example for your partner? Simply buy that version as well.

Is this legal or tax advice?

No. The guides give clear general information based on the rules in October 2026, with a focus on the Comunitat Valenciana. They help you ask the right questions and work well with your own lawyer and tax adviser, but they do not replace them.

How do I receive my files?

Immediately after payment you land on your personal download page. We also email you a link to that page, so you can download again later.

Can I print the guides?

Yes. All files are A4 PDFs that you can read on a screen or print. The checklists are designed to be filled in.

Do the guides apply to all of Spain?

Most information applies throughout Spain. Regional taxes and some rules, such as holiday-let registration, are explained for the Comunitat Valenciana (Alicante, Valencia, Castellón), where we work.

Can I get a refund?

Because the files are delivered immediately, you agree at checkout that the right of withdrawal does not apply once the download is available. If anything is wrong with your files, contact us and we will put it right.
