Conveyancing
"Buying a Spanish Property"
Although it is well known that the first step to buying a Spanish property is to contact a lawyer before you decide here is some advice that you should follow:
Check that your representative is a fully bona fide lawyer and is a member of the Spanish Bar Association (this will provide third party insurance).
Your lawyer should have a good understanding of English to avoid any translation difficulties.
Before you sign anything (even a reservation deposit) you should check the following documents:
- "Nota Simple" it is a very important report from the property registry.
- The sellers own title.
- Proof of Spanish property tax payment.
- Community of owners, Fees and Payments.
- The Catastrial Certificate.
