SAFE REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION IN SPAIN

You would not dream of buying a property in your own country without the assistance of a lawyer, so it goes without saying that if you are thinking of investing in a property in Spain then you will be seeking similar services to those you would expect to receive back home. Buying a property in Spain is just as stressful, more so because you have the added problem of the language barrier and the obvious differences in the law. Attempting to do this alone is not only unwise it is foolhardy.

Not all Spanish properties are registered, not all of them are legal, there may be hidden or undisclosed discrepancies regarding land boundaries, the size of the plot, the ownership, the debts of previous owners [which in Spain become the responsibility of the purchaser], the list is literally endless and that is why we are here to help you.

We do everything in our power to ensure that both before, during and after your purchase things run as smoothly as possible, saving you unnecessary headache and heartache. As independent conveyancing solicitors, we carry out thorough legal due diligence, check all registry statuses, and protect your investment from hidden debts. Whether you are buying a resale property, a new build, or managing a purchase remotely via Power of Attorney (POA), we ensure your dream home in Spain never turns into a nightmare.
