Common mistakes
What people often underestimate in Spain
A few common mistakes can make the process slower, more expensive or more stressful than expected.
Treating the move as one event
Buying or moving isn't one task but several at once: tax, visas, healthcare and registration, each on its own timeline. Plan them together.
Assuming Spain works like home
Legal steps, timelines and who checks what differ from your country; small assumptions get costly.
Underestimating the true costs
Buyers add taxes, notary and financing on top of the price, often 10 to 15%. Renters add deposits and agency fees. Budget beyond the headline number.
Not checking what you're buying
A property can carry hidden debts, planning irregularities, or gaps between what's built and what's registered. Check the property itself, not just the deal.
Falling for a rental scam
Some listings don't exist, or the person signing isn't the real owner; verify before you pay a deposit.
Trusting only the other side
Agents, developers and landlords act for the seller, not for you. Without independent support, you're navigating with no one on your side.

Meet Cristina
Built on lived experience, not theory.
I built Iberova because I have been exactly where you are. I grew up in Spain, have lived and worked in Germany, and now live in the UK. When you are a foreigner, the rules everyone else takes for granted are not your rules. Every assumption you carry from home can turn out to be wrong. Abroad, that is not a beginner's mistake. It is the expensive default. I learned that planning and building the right knowledge before you act is the only thing that protects you. Whether you are buying, renting first, or moving for good, the principle is the same.
Iberova began with a single conversation. Someone moving to Spain needed to understand what it would really mean, financially and legally, and I had lived every part of it.
