Questions & Answers about Debes tramitar el aval a fin de comprar la propiedad.
Why does this sentence use a fin de followed by the infinitive comprar, instead of a fin de que?
Because the person doing both actions is the same. The person who must process the guarantee (debes tramitar) is the exact same person who is buying the property (comprar). Whenever the subject doesn't change between the two actions, we use a fin de plus the infinitive verb. If a different person were buying the property, you would have to use a fin de que plus the subjunctive.
Could I just use para comprar la propiedad here instead?
What exactly does the verb tramitar mean?
Tramitar means to process or to carry out the steps of an administrative procedure.
