Expert Legal Representation for Real Estate Purchases
Buying property in Spain as a foreigner is a complex task. Smooth real estate transactions require a deep understanding of Spanish laws, the local market, and the precise obligations before and after the purchase.
For this reason, legal assistance from a law firm well-versed in the local market and Spanish laws plays a fundamental role in ensuring that a property purchase in Spain is conducted legally.
We advise against buying property in Spain without legal assistance.
They speak English at the law office, so you can communicate with your legal representatives in English during the entire real estate buying and selling process. If, on the other hand, your language skills are not confident in professional or legal areas, we can provide Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, or English-speaking client representation and an interpreter for legal representation, so that you always understand everything in special areas and there are never any misunderstandings. In the majority of cases, our clients also use our office’s Spanish real estate purchase support, and in such cases, our office handles all contact with the law firm.
Components of Legal Representation in Spanish Real Estate Purchases
If HispaColex Bufete Jurídico becomes your legal representative, they will examine and address any potential issues related to the property purchase. They will review or draft contracts, provide legal advice, and supervise the entire process. They will also choose and coordinate with the notary office.
Essentially, they will provide you with a legal background that safeguards against any possible problems that may arise during or after the property purchase. This ensures complete security for you, as the official part of the Spanish property acquisition will be in the best hands, under full legal supervision. You can then enjoy every pleasant moment of acquiring your new property because the property purchase will truly be a pleasure.
The legal representation includes the following:
- Examination and verification of the complete documentation required for property purchase and acquisition.
- Verification and review of the seller's property ownership, public notary deeds, urban permits, and cadastral information.
- Review and/or preparation of contracts (reserva, contrato de arras, contrato de compraventa) and contract outlines.
- Coordination with the parties involved and the seller's lawyer for the signing of the purchase agreement, as well as the preparation of contract modifications if necessary.
- Selection of a reliable notary office, coordination with negotiations, and coordination with the notary office for the creation of contracts and public documents.
- Preparation of the purchase documents and submission to the competent authorities, including payment of ITP (Impuesto de Trasmisiones Patrimoniales) or IVA (Impuesto al Valor Agregado) and AJD (Actos Jurídicos Documentados) taxes.
- Preparation of post-purchase tax declarations and timely payment of taxes within the legal deadlines.
- Submission of purchase documents to the land registry for the registration of the new owner.
Essentially, your attorneys will handle and oversee the entire real estate purchase process, including carrying out the necessary administrative tasks. From the property reservation, through contract negotiations and notarial signing, to tax payments and land registry registration, your attorneys will supervise and manage every step of the process.
It’s important to note that the legal fees of the attorneys never include the taxes (ITP, IVA, AJD) and the costs of the notary, gestor, and land registry. These expenses are to be paid by you after the property purchase, with the attorneys preparing all the necessary documentation for payment.
