Buying Property in Spain?

One lawyer, personally, from first call to registration.

A legal boutique for international buyers on the Costa del Sol. We take on a limited number of purchases at a time, so yours never becomes just another file.

The 48-hour red-flag check

Before you pay a reservation deposit, send us the listing.

Within 48 working hours we check the essentials and tell you, in plain English, whether there is anything that should stop you or change the price:

  • Ownership and charges at the Land Registry

  • Cadastral and registered description: do they match what you are buying?

  • Licences and planning status, including extensions and pools

  • Tourist rental licence, if the property has or needs one

  • The reservation contract, if you already have one

No obligation. If everything looks clean, we tell you so.

Why it matters

In Spain, many property problems pass to the new owner.

  • Unregistered extensions, debts attached to the property, a tourist licence that does not continue under new ownership, planning breaches. Once you sign, they can become yours. Our job is to find them before you commit a single euro.

    Already working with an estate agent? Good. We work alongside them, so the purchase moves forward with your legal position fully covered.Ownership and charges at the Land Registry

Who we work with

For purchases that need more than a standard checklist

  • Villas and high-value homes

  • Off-plan and new-build developments

  • Plots, unfinished buildings and renovation projects

  • Properties with a tourist rental licence

  • Investment and rental properties

  • Buyers who cannot be in Spain during the purchase

Buying a more straightforward home? We handle those too, with the same lawyer and the same attention from start to finish.

What working with us means

One lawyer, start to finish. The lawyer on your first call is the one who reviews your contracts, negotiates for you and sits with you at the notary. Your file is never passed down.

Legal review beyond the paperwork. Title, charges, planning, licences, debts and contracts, delivered in a written report before you sign anything binding.

Representation in the negotiation. We negotiate terms, conditions and, where the review justifies it, the price.

Real knowledge of the local market. We also work in property management, so we can tell you what a property can realistically earn and what running it involves.

Discretion. Your purchase, your finances and your identity stay confidential.

Three languages. English, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, spoken by the lawyer handling your file.

How it works

  1. Red-flag check. Send us the listing. Within 48 working hours you know whether to go ahead.

  2. First consultation

  3. Written proposal. Scope and fees agreed in writing before you commit.

  4. Due diligence and negotiation. Full report, contract review and terms negotiated on your behalf.

  5. Completion. NIE, Spanish bank account, notary, taxes and registration. If you cannot be in Spain, we act for you under power of attorney.
