| Payment | What to agree | Supporting record |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit under the preliminary agreement | Amount, date, recipient and refund conditions | Agreement and receipt; the deposit counts towards the price |
| Balance and notarial costs | Complete statement, sums already paid and euros availability date | Notary’s statement, verified payment details and bank record |
| Separate agency or other services | Contractual basis, payer, amount and accepted payment method | Contract/written agreement and invoice where applicable |
| Costs after purchase | Co-ownership charges, taxes, insurance, maintenance or management | Property documents and the relevant service contracts |
