Can I buy property in Spain without travelling there?
Yes — you can complete a Spanish purchase remotely by granting a power of attorney (poder notarial) to a trusted lawyer, who then signs the deed and handles the formalities on your behalf.
The power of attorney is signed before a notary (in Spain, or at a Spanish consulate or a local notary with an apostille abroad) and sets out exactly what your representative may do.
It is common for overseas buyers, but only grant it to an independent lawyer you have chosen yourself.
