Common questions
The awkward ones, answered.
The questions people actually ask before they move — including the ones that are uncomfortable to ask out loud.
The questions people actually ask
The awkward ones, answered.
Every one of these came from a real client. If yours isn’t here, ask it — a person reads every message.
“Landlords keep rejecting me because my income is foreign.”
The single biggest wall international renters hit. We arrange non-payment insurance so your overseas income is accepted as proof of solvency — which is what gives the landlord confidence and gives you the house.
“Can I bring my dog?”
Yes — around half our clients arrive with pets, and our owner network welcomes them. Tell us early; it changes which doors we knock on. 🐾
“Do non-EU buyers really need Military Authorisation?”
Sometimes, yes — in certain strategic and coastal zones, common along the Pontevedra coast. It takes 2–6 months, so we flag it at the very start. Check in 30 seconds →
“Can I get a Spanish mortgage as a non-resident?”
Usually up to about 70% of the value. We work with specialist brokers who search across lenders — and we always say get a pre-approval before you view.
“What are NIE, TIE and padrón?”
Your tax number, your physical residence card, and your registration at the town hall. You’ll need all three. We book them, prepare the documents and come with you.
“I’m coming on a Non-Lucrative Visa.”
Then you’re exactly who our full service is built for — arriving with limited Spanish and no network here, from before you land to six months after.
