Working methodology
We apply a precise and transparent methodology focused on risk prevention and the protection of our clients’ interests.
Property legal analysis
From the first contact, we conduct a thorough review of the legal and technical status of the property. This analysis includes the assessment of title deeds, possible registry encumbrances, urban planning status, Land Registry information, community regulations in the complex or development, compliance with tax obligations, energy certificates, technical construction assessments, and any other relevant documentation. This process is essential to identify and prevent potential risks or irregularities that could affect the transaction.
Investor’s legal and tax assessment
This process allows us to accurately identify the client’s legal and tax profile, tax residency, and possible international implications, ensuring proper handling of funds and tax planning so that the investment is carried out with maximum security.
Drafting and review of contracts
Our firm prepares or reviews reservation agreements, purchase contracts, and any other documents required, ensuring that every clause protects our clients’ interests and complies with applicable legislation.
Negotiation and mediation
We provide support and advice in negotiating contractual terms, facilitating mediation between parties to reach fair and sustainable agreements.
Comprehensive tax advice
The service covers tax management of the real estate transaction, offering guidance on applicable taxes and tax obligations, including recommendations on corporate structures depending on the operation and the purpose of the property. Among others, the following taxes are addressed: Transfer Tax, VAT where applicable, municipal Capital Gains Tax, Personal Income Tax / Non-Resident Income Tax / Wealth Tax / Solidarity Tax for individuals, and Corporate Tax in the case of corporate structures.
Coordination with notaries, estate agents and financial institutions
Throughout the transaction, we work with the real estate agents involved, as well as with financial institutions for the handling of funds, and with notaries for all necessary legal documentation.
Administrative management
The service covers all administrative aspects of the transaction, including the change of ownership for property taxes and utilities, and the set-up or cancellation of direct debit payments.
If you require assistance in the hereditarytransfer of properties, our specialised inheritance law team will accompany you throughout the entire process.
