Our Services · Legal & Tax Advisory
Buying property in Spain, without the guesswork
Spanish property law, taxes and notarial procedure are unfamiliar territory for most foreign buyers. We coordinate a trusted network of local solicitors, tax advisors and notaries — so every step of your acquisition is handled correctly, in a language you understand.
Why this matters more than people expect
Buying rural property in Spain involves layers most foreign buyers don't anticipate: land registry checks, outstanding debts or liens, inheritance-related ownership, rural land classifications, and a tax structure that differs significantly from other European countries. Mistakes here aren't cosmetic — they can affect whether you can legally build on the land at all.
We don't act as your lawyers ourselves — we coordinate the right specialists around you, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
What's included
Due diligence coordination
We arrange for a solicitor to verify ownership, registry status, debts and legal classification before you commit to a property.
Tax guidance
We connect you with a tax advisor who explains the taxes involved in buying — and owning — property in Spain as a foreign resident or non-resident.
NIE & administrative steps
We help you navigate the paperwork every foreign buyer needs, including obtaining your NIE (foreigner's tax ID number), well before completion.
Notary & completion
We coordinate with the notary and all parties involved, so signing day is straightforward and everything is in order.
Our process
01 · Introduction to your advisors
Once you've chosen a property, we introduce you to the solicitor and tax advisor best suited to your situation.
02 · Due diligence
Your solicitor investigates the property's legal status while we stay involved to flag anything relevant from an architectural or planning perspective.
03 · Tax & cost clarity
Your tax advisor gives you a clear picture of the taxes and costs involved, so there are no surprises before you commit.
04 · Signing & handover
We coordinate the final steps through to notary signing, then connect you with our Architecture & Permits service to begin your project.
Once the property is yours
Our Architecture & Permits service takes over from here — designing your renovation project and securing everything needed to legally begin construction.
