OUR MAIN FIELDS
/ PURCHASE OF PROPERTY IN SPAIN AND ITS CONSEQUENCES
We recommend you have a lawyer assist you when you buy or sell a property in Spain. After all, you spend a massive amount of money to buy a property, and it is a huge long-term investment. Most people have to have a mortgage. To use a lawyer to assist you, one that understands your language or indeed speaks it, is in itself a guarantee that you will receive what you pay for. By letting us represent you, we will pay the taxes involved in the purchase on your behalf, and we guarantee the property you buy will be free of liens. We make it simple for you, and you don’t need to come to Spain to sign for the purchase. The lawyer will ensure the deed is registered into your name..
Most of the problems that arise when purchasing real estate in Spain are due to the lack of prior control by the appropriate professional. Because of the lack of prior control you could risk that the property has liens or unknown problems arise. Prior to the final transfer of the property, a lawyer will ensure all guarantees are met, before signing the contract. You will be safe in the knowledge you do not end up in a nightmare situation, one that easily can be avoided.
The fees are set by the Bar Association and all practising lawyers must belong to the Bar Association and have a Civil Liability Policy covering any unforeseen eventualities. We are members of the association in Alicante and Madrid.
