Tailored Solution

Conveyancing

On the purchase or sale of your property in Spain, we can complete all the necessary legal arrangements from start to finish to guarantee your peace of mind.

NIE Numbers

Whether buying a property or car in Spain, you will need an NIE    number, identifying you to the tax system. We can arrange and obtain this number for you. You will however need to be present at the initial appointment with the National Police.

Residencias

If you spend more than six months of the year in Spain you are legally required to become resident. We can arrange and obtain this for you. You will however need to be present at the initial appointment with the National Police.

Padrons

Having purchased your property and applying for residency, you will need proof of your address by registering on the Padron with the local Town Hall. We can arrange this for you, but you will need to be present for the initial appointment at the Town Hall.

Resident / Non-Resident

Whether resident or non-resident there are some issues that affect you. We can advise you on your legal status in Spain and whether or not you need to change it. We can also advise on any matter which affects you as a resident or non-resident. With no one really knowing the outcome of the Brexit negotiations, we can advise on what is best for you, if and when the UK leaves the European Union.

Wills & Donations

No one likes to consider their own mortality, but death and taxes come to us all. It is essential to have a will in Spain to avoid a large portion of your estate going to the government. It is also possible to donate your property to another family member, while still enjoying the use of the property, to minimise any inheritance tax you may have to pay. We can advise on and arrange both of these for you to ensure your peace of mind for the future.

Legal Translations

Our multi-lingual team can translate for you when dealing with any authority or service, translate documents for court proceedings, residencias, NIE numbers, padrons or for any other purpose.

Probate / Inheritance

Unfortunately, there are times when you have to deal with the property and belongings of a loved one who has passed on. We can advise on and arrange all necessary documentation ensuring the process is as stress free as possible at such a difficult time.

Licences and Projects

If you have made changes to your property since it was purchased or you wish to do so, then you will need the appropriate project licences and the title deeds updating. Our team and resident engineer can arrange and obtain these project licences for you, even retrospectively if the alterations have already been done and complete the necessary legalisation of the title deeds. This is essential at some point in the future the intention is to sell the property. With the prospect of the UK leaving the European Union early in 2019 our team can advise on and ensure the property is completely legal when this time comes.

Insurances

When a death occurs in Spain it is normal for the funeral to be the following day or the next. All the costs have to paid immediately. Any delay incurs a further considerable cost. You may want family members to come over from your home country but is virtually impossible to arrange transport at such short notices. For this reason, we recommend a Funeral Plan which will take care of these costs and also arrange repatriation to your home country if required. Our team can advise on and arrange such a policy with our partners to suit your requirements. We can also arrange any other insurance requirements you may have.

Taxes & Employment

If you own a vehicle or a property in Spain, resident or non-resident, retired, self-employed or in employment you are required to pay taxes. Our team can advise you on what is required, arrange for these taxes to be paid and arrange an appointment with our partner accountant should it be necessary.
