Hi, is there a way to check if there is debt on a property yourself, rather than through a solicitor?

Thanks, Carol

How do I check for outstanding debts on a Spanish property?

To check for outstanding debts, you should obtain a 'Nota Simple' from the Land Registry, which will indicate any existing mortgages or liens against the property. Additionally, ask for the latest IBI (Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles) receipt to ensure property taxes are up to date. It's also wise to verify that there are no outstanding community fees if the property is part of a homeowners' association.

You can get the Nota Simple on-line for €6  - I think I paid - from www.registro.es
