Overseas investors invest considerably in real estate. This is because of the importance of hospitality and property development sectors in the Spanish economy. Every year, Spain receives around 90.5 million visitors who lodge in hotels and apartments, some of whom decide to buy a second residence. The purchase of hospitality and office premises generates mergers and acquisition (M&A) business, whereas the purchase of residential properties is focused on buying and selling assets, rather than shares of the companies having title over the assets to avoid picking up tax and other contingencies.
