Legal advice
Within our Legal Advice Service, some of the most common procedures we undertake for our clients is the legal advice on investments and the sale of real estate property, as well as advice on town planning, on the development of business activities, the incorporation of companies and on certain Concessions and Licenses with the Public Administration.
Legal advice for the purchase of real estate properties
We can provide a comprehensive legal overview for your real estate property investments. We can advise on the acquisition of real estate property (homes, commercial premises, land), covering for any potential issues that may arise during the entire sale process until its completion.
Non-resident clients require special attention. We are committed to adapt to their language and cultural requirements in as much as possible, in order to represent them as their lawyers in all procedures against the opposite party in negotiations, real estate agencies, notaries, registries or any other body or administration.
Visa application
and investor residency
We can process your application for an investor residency visa, commonly known as Golden Visa, which will allow you unlimited stays in Spain and also travel throughout the European Union and other countries with treaties signed by the Government of Spain.
Advice on town planning matters
Our technical team specialises in town planning matters. We can obtain the certificate establishing the town-planning situation of the properties you wish to acquire, both in order to inform you of the type of property in question, and to be aware of any potential previous town-planning violations.
In the event of issues arising, we will offer you all the alternatives to solve them and will accompany you throughout the process (declarations of new construction, rectifications of the registered area of property, severances, re-allocations, neighbours’ compensation committees, etc.)
