    Our Real Estate Legal Services

    We act as your trusted legal partner through every phase of your investment.

    Due Diligence and Risk Prevention

    Before you sign or send any funds, we carry out a 12-point legal and financial audit of the property, including:

    Verification of title deeds, registry, and cadastral data

    Identification of hidden debts, mortgages, or community arrears

    Review of licenses, certificates, and habitability documents

    Legal validation of the seller’s capacity to sell

    This process prevents costly surprises, such as embargoes, unpaid community fees, or illegal constructions, and ensures your purchase is safe to proceed.

    Contract Negotiation and Conveyancing

    We draft and review every document you’ll need, in both English and Spanish, including:

    Reservation contracts
    Deposit and purchase agreements
    Power of attorney
    Notarial deeds and escrow arrangements
    Our lawyers ensure all clauses protect your position, deposits are safely held, and the final deed is signed without contingencies.

    Legal Representation and Administration

    We represent you before all relevant Spanish authorities, so you can complete your purchase without traveling to Spain:

    NIE application
    Bank account opening
    Coordination with notaries, real estate agents, and local

    Post-Purchase Legal and Fiscal Support

    Owning property in Spain carries ongoing responsibilities. We provide:

    Rental licensing, registration, and legal management
    Our team remains available long after the purchase, helping you manage, lease, or expand your portfolio with confidence.
