Why do you want to sell your property in Spain?

The reasons can be varied: change of residence, a new real estate investment or an inheritance that you want to liquidate. Whatever your case, the process must be managed with maximum legal and fiscal security. 

The law of supply and demand does not guarantee profitability

Although your goal is to make the highest possible profit, not all sales in Spain are made with legal guarantees. Improper management can lead to significant losses.

Relying only on real estate portals or an agent can be useful to find a buyer, but these do not ensure a legally or fiscally correct sale. A lawyer who is specialised in real estate law is the one who looks after your interests at every stage of the transaction. 

Is your property legally ready for sale?

Legislation is constantly changing, and you will probably need to regularize documents or adapt them to current requirements. The buyer will demand that everything is in order. Anticipate that. 

What motivates a foreign buyer to buy real estate in Spain

A good location – such as the Costa Blanca or the Costa del Sol – is not enough. The buyer needs legal security, and this is only achieved when the property meets all the legal requirements, and the operation is backed by a law firm.

The lawyer expert in real estate transactions ensures trust between buyer and seller 

That trust is essential and is created by lawyers, who verify documents, negotiate conditions and make a safe sale possible. If your buyers feel supported, they will move forward with the operation.

Put yourself in the mind of the foreign buyer

Is the property free of charges? Can it be developed? Are there urban planning limitations? Can it be reformed? Now think: wouldn’t it be a relief to have a lawyer who can resolve these questions before they even arise?

What will the real estate lawyer expert do if you entrust us with the sale of your property?

The list is very long but your lawyer will at least carry out the following: 

  1. We will review and provide all the necessary legal documents, verified with the Cadastre, the Land Registry and the Town Hall
  2. We will draft the contracts with legal rigor, in coordination with the real estate agent.
  3. We will prepare the signature at the notary’s office, representing you if you wish.
  4. We will negotiate with the buyer’s lawyer, providing security and transparency.
  5. You do not need to be in Spain: we will represent you, manage your taxes and transfer the sales price to you.
  6.  

Your peace of mind and the buyer’s trust are our priority

Therefore, the key to selling your property in areas of Spain such as the Costa Blanca is to have a law firm with experience in real estate investments. We work to make your sale profitable, safe and hassle-free.
