FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle property purchases if I'm not in Spain?
Yes, we complete property purchases and sales on your behalf using power of attorney. You don’t need to travel to Spain for the signing process.
What happens if I inherit a property in Spain?
If you inherit Spanish property, you must complete inheritance procedures in Spain regardless of where you live. We handle all legal steps, tax declarations, and property registrations for international heirs. You can grant us power of attorney to act on your behalf without traveling to Spain.
How do you handle divorces involving assets outside Spain?
Yes, we handle divorce cases where one or both spouses are foreign nationals or reside abroad. We manage the entire process in Spain, including court representation, and coordinate with authorities in other countries when required.
Do I need to come to your office in person?
Not necessarily. We handle many legal matters remotely with power of attorney, including property transactions and inheritance procedures. We offer video consultations for clients worldwide.
Do you speak English and French?
Yes, we provide full legal services in English, French, and Spanish to assist international clients throughout Spain.
What areas do you cover?
We serve clients across the Costa Blanca, including Jávea, Dénia, Calpe, Moraira, Altea, and Benidorm. We also have an office in Valencia city.
How do I get started?
Contact us by phone, email, or WhatsApp. We offer an initial consultation to assess your case and explain your options.
Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Spain as a UK buyer?
Yes. While it is not legally mandatory, having an independent Spanish property lawyer is strongly recommended for UK buyers. A lawyer will carry out full legal due diligence, check the Land Registry, review contracts and ensure there are no debts or planning issues before you commit.
What does a Spanish property lawyer do during the conveyancing process?
A Spanish property lawyer manages the entire conveyancing process from start to finish. This includes reviewing the reservation and private purchase contracts, carrying out legal checks at the Land Registry and Town Hall, coordinating with the notary and bank, attending the notary signing on your behalf, registering the title deed after completion, and assisting with the payment of property taxes. For UK buyers, an English-speaking lawyer ensures the process is clear, transparent and legally secure at every stage.
What additional costs should I expect when buying property in Spain?
In addition to the purchase price, buyers should budget for taxes and purchase-related costs. These typically include Property Transfer Tax (ITP) or VAT, notary fees, Land Registry fees and minor administrative costs. We clearly explain all expected costs in advance and guide you through each payment so there are no surprises during or after completion.
