As in any country there are legal and fiscal aspects to buying a property in Spain. These include the local rates and taxes as well as state taxes that form part of the purchasing costs, the due diligence you should have carried out by an independent lawyer on the status of the property, and the process of completing the transaction and signing the deeds in front of a notary and subsequently recording the property in your name at the land registry.

Depending on your personal situation and preferences, you may also want to decide whether to take Spanish residency, set up a business here or if you prefer a particular construction to the way the property is purchased and owned. For all of this, as well as any subsequent issues on tax and law relating to your home, most people will want professional advice from an authoritative source.

We can provide a great deal of information and advice, and will only recommend those lawyers that we know to be knowledgeable, professional and highly respected. What’s more, we believe it is better if they are also able to converse with you and explain things in your own language – using terminology that is free of technical jargon and easy to understand by laymen.

In all matters of law and taxes we always work from the principle that it is best to be well informed and make intelligent decisions from this basis – and we strive to ensure that this applies to our clients too.
