Is investing in property in the UK too difficult now? Buying in Spain is the solution!

During the last few years the whole Spanish real estate sector has worked hard in improving service. This was also thanks to the help of the central government in Madrid. Something that has not changed during the years is the fact that when buying property in Spain you need a good Spanish lawyer. It is good to see that more and more people buying property in Spain are aware of this!

So you may be in the position now that you have found that ideal Costa del Sol property for sale and that you would like to start the buying process without running any risk during and – even more important – after the purchase. Next question: how to find a good Spanish lawyer?

How to find a good Spanish lawyer

Good question! Our advice: ask around with people that really know. And these people many times are NOT the ones that just bought a property in Spain. Why? Simply due to the fact that the quality of the lawyer´s work cannot possibly be judged that quickly. Most legal problems only emerge when the same property is sold again. Another advice: due to the fac that there are still people that identify themselves as a lawyer, always check the Spanish lawyers registry. If you do not know how, just contact me!

Multilingual services

Quite a number of Spanish lawyers who practise in areas where foreigners settle speak excellent English or other languages like German, French or Dutch and are used to dealing with foreign residents in Spain. Conventional wisdom says that the buyer always needs a Spanish lawyer but the seller may not. We say that the seller, in the complex world of international property transfer, really ought to have a Spanish lawyer too.

Your estate agent may be perfectly competent, but complications can arise outside his or her area of expertise. It is always better to have two people working for you, both the estate agent and your lawyer.

The majority of property transfers are quite clear-cut and no problems arise after a Spanish lawyer has done the legal investigations. Nowadays very few turn into nightmares. Spanish lawyer´s fees vary widely. You can take one per cent of the purchase price as a guideline for a standard property transfer. Get it clear with your lawyer before you start. Ask your Spanish lawyer how much he or she will charge you.
