Step guide
First, we assess your purchase structure, budget, fund origin, and residency intent. This defines whether individual or corporate ownership is more efficient for your situation.
We obtain your NIE and, where required, prepare a notarial power of attorney so you can complete the purchase without being physically present in Spain which is a standard practice for international buyers and family offices.
Full review of the nota simple, urban planning compliance, outstanding charges, building licences and vendor title. No contract is signed prior without our clearance.
We draft or review the reservation and lease contracts to protect your deposit and ensure all conditions favour your position as buyer.
We prepare the AML and KYC documentation required by Spanish banks and notaries, ensuring your funds are cleared without delays at the signing table.
We coordinate the escritura signing, manage tax payments within the legal deadlines, and register the property in your name at the Land Registry.
