Buying property in Spain? Make sure someone is representing you.

Buying a property in Spain is a major financial decision. Whether you are purchasing a holiday home, an investment property or your future home in Spain, it is important to have a lawyer who works exclusively for you.

The estate agent wants the transaction to complete. The seller wants to sell. The notary is independent and does not act as your personal legal adviser.

Our role is different.

At LR Lawyers, we provide independent legal representation for international buyers purchasing property throughout Spain. We protect your interests, identify potential legal risks and guide you through the purchase from the first contract to completion.

You do not simply need someone to process the paperwork.

You need someone on your side.

Our Property Purchase Services

Independent Legal Due Diligence

Before you commit to the purchase, we investigate the legal status of the property and identify potential problems that may not be apparent from the sales information.

Our review can include ownership, charges and mortgages, outstanding debts, planning and licensing matters, community fees and other issues relevant to the property.

Contract Review & Negotiation

Never sign a reservation agreement or purchase contract without understanding exactly what you are committing to.

We review and, where necessary, negotiate reservation agreements, private purchase contracts and arras contracts to ensure that your interests are properly protected.

Full Property Purchase Representation

We can represent you throughout the entire purchase process — from the initial due diligence through to signing before the notary.

We coordinate with the estate agent, seller, notary and other parties involved in the transaction while ensuring that the legal process is handled from your perspective.

Property Searches & Documentation

We obtain and review the relevant documentation concerning the property and investigate issues that could affect your ownership or future use of the property.

New-Build Property

Buying a newly constructed property involves additional legal considerations.

We can assist with reviewing the developer’s documentation, purchase contracts, licences, guarantees and other matters relevant to the acquisition.

Property Tax & Purchase Costs

We can advise you on the taxes and costs associated with purchasing property in Spain and help you understand your financial obligations before completing the purchase.

Non-Resident Property Owners

If you live outside Spain, purchasing Spanish property can create additional legal and tax considerations.

We can advise international owners on the Spanish aspects of their property ownership and help you understand your ongoing obligations.

Why Use Your Own Lawyer?

An estate agent may have a lawyer they regularly work with. That can be convenient — but convenience is not the same as independent representation.

Your lawyer should work for you.

Our responsibility is to identify risks, explain your options and protect your interests throughout the transaction.

Independent

We act for the buyer and provide independent legal advice.

Experienced

We understand the legal and practical issues that international buyers can encounter when purchasing property in Spain.

Personal

You have direct contact with your legal team throughout the transaction.

Throughout Spain

Although LR Lawyers is based in Spain, we assist international clients purchasing property throughout the country.
