NIE now mandatory for non-resident property purchases

Planning to buy or sell property on Lanzarote? Then make sure that you have a NIE number – a Numero Personal de Indentificacion de Extranjero – which is a tax identification number for non-residents.

Until fairly recently non-residents purchasing or selling property could provide their passport as identification. But reports have reached us that Notary Offices on the island are now tightening up their requirements and will refuse to process property transactions in the absence of this form of fiscal identification. A change which has, apparently, caught more than a few island lawyers and estate agents on the hop in recent weeks.

Property Prices up 16.5% in Tias District

Which part of the island has the highest house prices? According to Spanish market commentators Sociedad de Tasacion (one of Spain’s leading mortgage evaluation specialists) the priciest properties on Lanzarote are to be found in the municipality of Tias.

Where the price of a new home has reportedly risen by 16.5% over the last twelve months.

The ST report indicates that new property in Tias has easily outperformed other locations – at a rate that is more than double the island average. As official figures indicate that property prices have risen 8% across Lanzarote during 2006.

The Sociedad de Tasacion estimate that new property in Tias now costs, on average, €1,800 per square metre. Making it more expensive than San Bartolome (€1776 per square metre), Teguise (€1725) or Arrecife (€1650).

This price increase is being attributed to the fact that the district of Tias encompasses the popular resort of Puerto del Carmen – where there is currently a shortage of land available for development.

I have just started to Import the Europac + heat pump for Swimming Pools “Great Value”
EUROPAC+ heat pump
A heat pump indirectly uses the sun’s energy by extracting calories from the air. It uses the same principles as an air conditioner. Although there is a running cost associated with using this type of heater, it’s much less than most people think. As our heat pumps work down to 5°C, pools can be heated the year round in a temperate climate making them perfect for the Lanzarote winters.
