Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Spain?

Although hiring a lawyer is not legally required when buying real estate in Spain, we highly recommend it. A professional lawyer helps avoid legal and bureaucratic issues, making the purchase process smoother and safer. Our lawyers can prepare all necessary documents or act on your behalf through a power of attorney, allowing you to complete the process before even arriving in Spain.

We will provide a lawyer who speaks your language to make the process more comfortable. Our legal team has deep knowledge of Spanish property law and will help you overcome the language and cultural barriers to find your dream home.
Legal Due Diligence:
The lawyer checks the legal status of the property and ensures everything is in order:

  • Outstanding debts: Verification of any existing mortgages, loans, or unpaid taxes.
  • Ownership: Confirming the seller’s legal right to sell the property.
  • Property title: Verifying whether the property is freehold.
  • Physical inspection: Evaluation of the building’s structural elements, such as the basement.
  • Licenses and permits: Ensuring the property has all necessary building permissions and complies with local regulations.
