Tenerife Property Buying Guide

Purchase Requirements

To purchase a property in Tenerife you do not need to be a registered resident on the island but you do need an N.I.E. number. This is a foreigners identification number (Numero de Identificación de Extranjero), along with this a qualified fiscal representative who is resident in Spain should be appointed to deal with your tax affairs.

This number is yours for life, it is not-transferable and never expires. The number itself consists of nine digits, the first and last are letters with seven numbers in between. This number can be obtained via the Spanish Embassy in the UK or here on the island, either way we are more than happy to assist you with the process.
