Spanish term or phrase: reserva de inmueble
This is a sales contract for a house in Spain - it's one of those things where i know what it means but am not 100% sure how it would be put into (UK)English.

The term 'reserva' is also used on its own in the contract in the context of a deposit, although i have never seen it used like that before - could 'deposit'be the correct translation?

THANKYOU!

escrow tambien puede ser, aunque es un poco más que una simple reserva.

Explanation:
. pl. Lo que se da como prenda o señal en algún contrato: antes de la firma de la escritura, entregó como arras medio millón de pesetas.

Com (compra pequeña) señal; a 10% deposit, una señal del 10%; (compra grande) entrada


If it is in this context of an 'arras' I would put 'deposit.' Saludos!
