Building via the principle of "autopromoción"

Dreaming of a bespoke villa in Spain built entirely to your taste? Then the concept of Autopromoción might be perfect for you! 

With Autopromoción (self-build), you act as the developer of your own home: you purchase the plot and construct your dream property alongside an architect and builder.

In this new episode of House & Home in Spain, I clearly explain: 

  • What the concept of Autopromoción actually means. 
  • How taxes work (10% VAT on construction, and 10% ITP or 21% VAT on the plot depending on whether the seller is private or a company!). 
  • Key considerations regarding building licenses and special self-build mortgages (Hipoteca de Autopromotor).

Build your dream home on the Costa Blanca with total peace of mind!
