Endless sunny days relaxing by the pool, a chilled beer at your side. Taking an evening stroll along the beach before heading home for a barbecue. Pottering round the market with all the time in the world....It’s pretty easy to imagine how good life will be with your own home in sunny southern Spain. But when you get all practical and start thinking about lawyers and contracts, that clear picture can go a understandably turn a little fuzzy.
So we’re here to help you bring it all back into focus again and make the whole buying process as straightforward as possible.
Buying property in Spain isn’t difficult, it’s just a bit different. A lot of the processes are pretty similar to other European countries, but with different names – and, of course, it’s all in Spanish. Although, if you’ve ever tried to wade through a legal document in English, it often feels like a foreign language anyway!
We’ll be there to guide you all the way and help make sure everything goes smoothly. We’ve sold thousands of properties, so we know all the pitfalls and we’re pretty good at spotting problems before they happen. And we only ever work with reputable and highest quality developers, banks and financial advisors.
We can recommend an English speaking lawyer who will take care of all the legalities for you and make sure your interests are protected at every stage. Our financial partner, Green Independent can help you with all the financial aspects of your purchase. And if you’re not sure about anything, at any time, don't be afraid to just ask, that's what we're here for.
As for the odd scare story that makes its way into the papers, it’s important to remember that there are still foreigners who buy property in Spain without any legal advice at all – madness! Inevitably, some of them get caught out by the common pitfalls that a good lawyer would spot a mile off.
