The process of buying a property in the Canary Islands can differ slightly depending on the type of home you wish to buy.
Should you have your heart set on a particular house being sold as an out-going resident, a deposit of 10% will be required to take the home off the market.
In the case of a home being bought off-plan, directly from a builder, you may be asked to place a deposit of between 10% and 25% to secure that property.
