Should I buy Spanish property in a company or in my own name?
For most foreign buyers of a single home, buying in your personal name is simpler and cheaper; a company structure usually only makes sense for multiple properties or specific tax/inheritance planning, and it adds annual running costs — take professional advice first.
A Spanish or offshore company carries setup and ongoing accounting/tax costs and extra scrutiny that rarely pay off for one holiday home.
The right answer depends on your residency, number of properties and estate plans — this is exactly where a tax adviser earns their fee.
