There are two main types of purchase contract. A standard purchase contract is known as a private purchase contract (contrato privado de compraventa), which is binding on both parties and involves the payment of a deposit. This is usually 10% of the agreed price.
It’s also possible to sign a reservation contract (documento de reserva), where you pay a small ‘goodwill deposit’, e.g. 1,000€ to 5,000€, which usually secures a property for a period, e.g. 15 days, before you sign the main purchase contract.
All Contracts can be written in Spanish and English.
