Roles of the Lawyers

Lawyers and attorneys provide essential property oversight to ensure a secure purchase process:

1. Legal Investigation of the Property The process of purchasing real estate varies from country to country, each having distinct rules and regulations. We recommend acquiring property through reputable agencies with extensive experience, such as those associated with IREMWORLD.

   The crucial aspect of property purchase is ensuring you engage with the right party and verifying that the seller offers the property as advertised. Lawyers can secure these aspects and safeguard your investment through a thorough due diligence report.

   a) When you decide to purchase a property, a lawyer conducts initial checks at the property registry office to verify:

   • Ownership history
   • Mortgage status
   • Tax obligations
   • Other outstanding debts and liabilities
   • Confirmation of 100% ownership

   • Validation of property ownership as stated in the deed

      

   b) Lawyers also validate the following licenses:

   • Building permits

   • Urban planning permissions

      

2. Booking Contract and Deposit The booking contract secures the property on behalf of the buyer, confirming the agreed price and sale conditions. It ensures that the deposit paid guarantees adherence to the terms specified in the contract.
3. Purchase Contract for Real Estate in Spain
   • If a booking contract outlining the agreed conditions is in place, the lawyer prepares the sales contract accordingly.
   • In the absence of a pre-existing contract, the lawyer drafts the sales agreement to meet all legitimate requests from involved parties.
   • If a contract already exists, the lawyer reviews it to ensure it complies with the client's rights and is legally sound.

Legal Fees in Spain

The legal fee for lawyers in Spain typically amounts to 1% of the property purchase price, with a minimum fee of $2,000 + 18% VAT, excluding fees for the Spanish Citizenship program. The cost for a family of four (two adults and two children under 18) under the Citizenship program is approximately $6,000 + 18% VAT. These fees can vary among attorneys.

If the seller or their real estate agent proves unreliable during the property purchase, complications may arise. As navigating the foreign property buying process can be unfamiliar and complex, legal oversight becomes crucial to avoid unintended consequences. In such instances, an attorney can help streamline the process. Nevertheless, reputable real estate agencies in Spain can handle the transaction smoothly. Opting for a professional real estate agent can also mitigate legal expenses. Contact us to secure a property in Spain with a flawless track record.
