REAL ESTATE
At Spania Legal, we provide legal advisory services in the area of purchasing and sales, supporting you through the process and ensuring security and efficiency.
Our lawyers adapt according to the needs of clients, buyers or sellers, offering the best option to meet individual requirements.
BUYER:
Through a power of attorney, it is possible to conduct business on your behalf. In doing so, acting in your name, we can sign deeds, open Spanish bank accounts, pay or set up direct debits for tax payments and property supplies like electricity and water etc., and process a mortgage application choosing from a wide range of different banks. Therefore, our lawyers are responsible for the whole process from application to the contract signing:
- Application for a Foreigners Identification Number (N.I.E), which is required to perform many procedures in Spain.
- Initial review of the legal situation of the property, including civil, registry, cadastral and urban, checking to ensure that there are no issues such as outstanding payments, construction problems etc. that could impede carrying out the purchase of the property.
- In relation to contracts, drafting of sales contracts in relation to second-hand properties and ensuring all legal requirements are met, and in the case of new builds, ensuring that there are no abusive clauses in the contract.
- Preparation of the corresponding documentation for signing of the public deed before a notary and accompanying the client or going on their behalf through power of attorney.
- Registration of the deed of ownership in the corresponding register.
- Fiscal and tax advice related to the purchase.
- Organising home insurance or other protection such as life assurance or health insurance.
