Who we are
Established in Marbella for over 20 years and covering the Costa del Sol from Sotogrande to Benalmádena, Abril Cumpián Solicitors is a family firm of lawyers and economists specialising in property conveyancing and all aspects of real estate law. Our diligence and professionalism are second to none and with every member of our team born and bred on the Costa del Sol, our local knowledge and experience truly make us ‘the home team’ on whom you can depend.
Company background
“We pride ourselves on our negotiating skills,” explains Senior Partner, Carlos Abril. “And we always encourage our clients to explain to us every last detail of the matter on which they are seeking advice. It’s absolutely essential that we’re in possession of all the facts right from the start, that way there are no unwelcome surprises.
It also helps enormously of course that we speak English fluently. I’ve spent a good deal of time in the UK and Ireland and like to think nothing gets lost in translation! Actually, what with 70% of our clients being British and Irish, during business hours I speak, read and write in English much more than I do in Spanish. In our practice we have a good grasp of German, too.”

Our philosophy
At Abril Cumpián Solicitors, we don’t only seek to do our job well. Our goal is also to ensure that our clients are happy with our service and satisfied with the results achieved. With so many of them returning to us time and time again and recommending us to their friends, we believe that speaks for itself. Because we also know our clients value a rapid and clear response, within 48 hours of initial contact we provide an estimate of costs and having kept them fully and constantly updated throughout the entire legal process, on its conclusion we present our clients with a completion statement with precise costs together with a comprehensive letter of instruction.
Personally speaking
“With the current volatility of global stock markets, property is the safe shelter for savings that it always used to be,” says Carlos Abril. “In fact I firmly believe we might well be at the very beginning of another property boom – and that of course is being helped by the recent halving of the VAT payable on the purchase of new-build properties that the Spanish Government recently introduced and which is in force until 31 December 2011. During the more than two decades we’ve been in practice on the Costa del Sol we’ve advised investors during times like this before, and we’re very well placed to do so again.”
