Move to Spain with fewer loose ends
Buying the home is only part of moving to Spain. For US buyers, the real work often starts after the property decision: residency questions, paperwork, healthcare, banking, international moving, utilities, contractors, furniture, deliveries and getting the house ready from thousands of miles away.
Nordic Move Spain brings those practical pieces together. We help you coordinate the home, the move and the right independent specialists so your arrival on the Costa Blanca feels planned rather than improvised.
Especially for buyers relocating from the United States
The questions are different when you are moving from the US. Which residency route applies? When should you arrange your NIE? What happens with healthcare, banking and cross-border tax advice? How do you ship household goods, move pets, choose schools and prepare a property while you are still in America?
We do not replace immigration lawyers, tax advisers, attorneys or other regulated professionals. Instead, we help structure the process, introduce the appropriate independent specialists and coordinate the practical tasks around their advice.
If you plan to spend more than a standard visitor stay in Spain, we can introduce you to an independent immigration lawyer or visa specialist who can assess the route that fits your circumstances, including options such as non-lucrative residence or digital-nomad residence where relevant.
We help structure the practical sequence around your NIE and other local administrative steps, and coordinate with the appropriate professionals where legal representation or specialist advice is required.
US citizens and residents can face cross-border tax, reporting and estate-planning questions. We can connect you with advisers who understand both the US and Spanish sides before you make decisions that could have tax consequences.
We can help compare practical healthcare arrangements and suitable insurance options, including introductions to specialists where a visa or residency route has specific insurance requirements.
We can help you understand the practical banking setup around owning and running a Spanish home, including local accounts, recurring household payments and introductions where specialist support is useful.
From household goods and temporary storage to pet relocation and specialist transport, we can help compare providers and coordinate the local side of the move.
After completion, we stay involved
Electricity, water, internet and insurance may still need to be organized. You may need an international mover, temporary storage or specialist vehicle transport. Garden and pool care, air conditioning, heating, solar systems, renovation and furnishing all require reliable local partners and clear follow-through.
Nordic Move Spain helps organize these steps in a structured way. We speak Spanish, understand the local process and source appropriate professionals for your situation. We can request quotes, compare options, coordinate appointments and keep track of agreed progress.
Instead of trying to manage a dozen Spanish suppliers from the US, you have one point of coordination helping ensure the selected parties understand what needs to happen, when it needs to happen and who is responsible for each part.
For renovation work, we can work with a selected, officially registered construction company with its own execution team and access to qualified architects and technical architects. You are also free to appoint your own contractor or specialists.
You can choose the full Buyer Journey or only the support you need — from buyer guidance and independent checks to relocation, Home Setup, renovation and Interior Styling.

What we coordinate
01
We start by understanding how you want to use the home. We look beyond aesthetics to your daily life, family, guests, privacy, maintenance, comfort, remote work and the atmosphere you want to create.
02
We translate your preferences into a visual moodboard with colors, materials, textures, furniture references, lighting ideas and inspiration for indoor and outdoor spaces. This creates direction before major decisions or purchases are made.
03
The moodboard becomes a practical lifestyle concept for the property: relaxing, entertaining, working from Spain, hosting family, outdoor dining, low-maintenance ownership or full-time living.
04
Where renovation, installation or technical work is required, we involve the appropriate local contractor or specialist early so the scope, budget, permits, materials and timing can be assessed realistically.
05
Once the direction is clear, we coordinate furniture selection and sourcing through appropriate suppliers and local partners. The goal is a coherent home rather than a collection of disconnected purchases.
06
Lighting has a major effect on how a home feels. We help shape functional lighting, ambient lighting, statement fixtures, exterior lighting and the details that make the property feel warm and complete.
07
Window treatments influence privacy, comfort, acoustics, sun control and atmosphere. We help define the right approach and coordinate local measuring, supply and installation where required.
08
Managing deliveries, assembly and installation from the United States can quickly become a full-time project. We coordinate the practical steps with local partners so the process is more structured and less fragmented.
09
The final styling brings the home together through textiles, selected accessories, outdoor details, bedding, tableware, plants and the smaller decisions that make a property feel personal and finished.
10
Before you arrive, we coordinate agreed final checks and practical essentials so your first days are about settling in rather than solving a list of avoidable problems.
Move-In Ready support is tailored to each property and each client. Scope, schedule, pricing and availability depend on the home, required work, selected partners, materials and level of service.
