As with a purchase in the UK, it is advisable to instruct the services of a solicitor to represent your interests when purchasing in Spain. Those who try to go it alone in order to save money will very often come unstuck. We have a dedicated panel of solicitors who will deal with all of the legal aspects of your purchase and make sure that everything is in order with your chosen property.

just a few of the criteria that your solicitor will take
care of on you behalf. There are many more! Without such
representation, you could end up overpaying, or paying
taxes or costs that aren't your responsibility. Don't
risk it!
