Property Management
Juan Carlos Santos, Property Management Lawyer in Marbella
01
Comprehensive administration and tax representation for property owners on the Costa del Sol
Owning a property in Marbella should be a source of enjoyment or profitability, not of bureaucratic concerns. However, for property owners—particularly non-residents—the distance from their home and house on the Costa del Sol can turn day-to-day administration and management into a highly complex challenge.
At our firm, we offer a Legal Property Management service. We act as your “eyes and hands” in Spain, with the added value of serving as your lawyers and legal advisors. We handle the legal and tax administration of your property, ensuring that the property is in perfect legal, administrative, and tax order.
02
Your peace of mind: we take care of everything while you are away
Our objective is that, when you come to Marbella, your only concern is enjoying your home. In the meantime, we manage the “administrative life” of the property with complete transparency.
Our management service includes:
Annual Tax Representation
We handle the filing and payment of taxes associated with the property (Property Tax – IBI, Waste Collection Tax, Non-Resident Income Tax, Wealth / Large Fortunes Tax). We work in coordination with our tax law departmentto ensure full compliance with the Spanish Tax Authorities, avoiding any consequences arising from non-compliance.
Utilities and General Contract Management
We arrange utility contracts (water, electricity, gas, internet…), insurance policies, and other services; as well as changes of ownership and direct debit arrangements for bills, including the resolution of any incidents.
Banking Management
We manage your bank account to ensure that it remains fully operational and compliant with regulatory requirements at all times, so that taxes, bills, and other direct debit charges are paid regularly, resolving any issues that may arise. On a regular and fully transparent basis, at least quarterly, we provide you with an account statement detailing credits, debits, and balances, keeping you informed of any relevant matters.
Representation before the Community of Owners
We attend homeowners’ association meetings on your behalf, defending your interests and voting rights. Should any neighbour disputes arise, we advise you based on our experience in Horizontal Property Law.
Document Safekeeping – Accounting Service
We keep the property documentation on file (title deed, insurance policies, etc.), including accounting records with their supporting documentation (invoices…).
03
Maximising your investment: legal management of rentals
If you decide to rent out your property to generate income, legal certainty is essential to avoid non-payment or tenant-related issues. We act as your legal safeguard.
Additionally, if you wish, we can assist you through our collaborators—real estate agencies—in finding suitable and reliable tenants.
Drafting of Contracts
We prepare legally robust lease agreements (short- or long-term).
Resolution of Incidents
If the tenant breaches the agreement, we act immediately through our collaborators.
If renting the property requires renovations or tourist licence applications, we coordinate the necessary procedures with the support of our specialists in urban planning law and construction law.
04
Technical Supervision
If you decide to place the property on the market, we prepare all legal documentation (Sales Due Diligence) to streamline the transaction through our real estate law department.
