Why You Need a Property Lawyer in Jávea

Jávea (Xàbia) is one of the most popular destinations for foreign property buyers on the Costa Blanca. With its microclimate, beautiful beaches, and excellent infrastructure, thousands of British, Dutch, German, French, and Scandinavian buyers purchase property here every year. However, the Spanish property buying process is very different from what you may be used to in your home country.

A qualified property lawyer ensures that:

• The property has no hidden debts, charges, or legal issues
• The Nota Simple from the Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad de Dénia, which covers Jávea) is thoroughly checked
• Your NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is obtained correctly
• All taxes are calculated accurately — including ITP (currently 10% in the Valencian Community, changing to 9%/11% from June 2026), plusvalía municipal, and notary fees
• The purchase deed (escritura pública) is properly executed at the notary
• The property is registered in your name at the Land Registry
