Malaga Solicitors

What legal procedure would you like us to help you with?

Our property lawyers will guide you through your entire property purchasing process all the way until completion. We handle all the paperwork from debts to taxes, until everything has been handed over and finalised at the Notary Office and your property has been added to the land registry. We also make sure that your property is legal and free of extra charges, whilst the architect takes care of the urbanistic situation of the property, and the tax advisor aids you in all of the necessary taxes involved before and after completion.

We also advise our clients of the overall cost of buying a property in Spain, providing the total cost from the beginning with total transparency. At the end of the entire process, we will send our clients a final bill, where all tax and expenses are paid. If there is a leftover balance, we send the money directly back to you.

If you are selling a property, our property lawyers can give advice on all of the relevant taxes you will be expected to pay, as well as provide you with a guide on the cost of selling. Our solicitors can act as a negotiator on your behalf for the conditions of your property sale, representing you from start to finish.

We ensure that our expatriate clients avoid double taxation, providing the latest advice and information on the double taxation agreement between Spain and your country of origin.

We also provide our clients with all the necessary information and documents relating to tax in Spain, including tax returns, non-resident tax and form 720. We adapt these resources depending on whether our client is a fiscal or non-fiscal resident.

The NIE Number (identification number used in Spain for foreigners) is absolutely necessary for foreigners in order to be able to do certain things such as open a bank account or buy a house etc. It is also the identification that the Spanish Tax Office will use when receiving your non-resident tax payments.

It is important to note that clients can obtain an NIE in Spain without becoming a Spanish resident. An NIE does not allow you to legally reside in Spain.

The Spanish Golden Visa is a global investment plan that issues residency for non-EU citizens who purchase a property in Spanish territory (with an investment of €500,000 or above).

Under the Law of Entrepreneurs, this is an opportunity for non-EU citizens (such as USA, Canada, Arab Emirates, and so on) to invest in Spanish real estate, usually in high-demand areas in Costa del Sol, in return for the acquisition of Spanish residency for themselves and their families. The purchasing process also provides business opportunities, including leasing and tourist rental.

Inheritance tax concerns everyone in Spain; both residents and non-residents. The tax, often referred to as ISD (impuesto de sucesiones y donaciones), becomes payable as soon as an inheritance from a family member or friend is documented – this can be money, property or an asset.

The rules of inheritance tax vary depending on which area of Spain you live in. At Tejada Solicitors, we offer a guide on inheritance tax from the succession law to inheritance tax rates, specifically tailored to your needs.

We provide answers to common inheritance tax queries, such as inheritance tax rates for non-residents and how to reduce your inheritance tax. You can find these answers and more through this page: Inheritance tax in Spain.

There are two ways properties can be rented in Spain, under contracts. Short-term rental contracts (viviendas de uso turístico) are used for work and leisure purposes, whilst long-term rental contracts are considered as permanent homes for the renter.

Long-term rentals come under national law, and, depending on the area in which the property is located, short-term rentals may have regional legislations that apply to the contracts. In some areas, this includes obtaining a license granting you the right to rent for touristic purposes, such as in Andalucia.

Any owner who is renting out their property (both long-term and short-term) must pay tax. Tax rates will vary depending on your circumstances, such as whether you are fiscal or non-fiscal resident. In order to learn more, please visit this page: Renting out a property in Spain.

Legal advice for buying and renting out property in Málaga 

Property rental is a thriving business activity in the city of Málaga, located in the province of the same name. To ensure compliance with legal procedures and avoid potential fines, it is essential to seek the support of a reputable solicitor firm. Málaga offers a vibrant urban lifestyle combined with beautiful beaches, such as La Malagueta and Pedregalejo, making it an attractive destination for holiday rentals. The city benefits from a pleasant Mediterranean climate and a rich cultural scene, attracting visitors from around the world. Additionally, Málaga’s property market often presents diverse options at competitive prices. The city boasts remarkable landmarks, including the Alcazaba fortress, the Picasso Museum, and the vibrant city centre with its charming plazas and bustling markets.

As the tourism sector continues to flourish, both national and local authorities have imposed stricter regulations governing holiday lettings. To ensure compliance with the law, it is crucial to rely on experienced solicitors in Málaga. Tejada Solicitors possess extensive experience in managing rental properties throughout the Málaga region.

The Process of Working with Our Solicitors in Málaga 

If you find yourself in need of guidance regarding tax affairs, property conveyancing, or visas like the Golden Visa, Non-Profit Visa, or Digital Nomad Visa, our primary focus is to equip our clients with a comprehensive understanding of the process and its potential implications. Our objective is to address any apprehensions or inquiries you may have while delivering a customized service tailored to your specific situation and needs. The progression of our assistance follows these steps:

Initial Consultation

Before their visit to Spain, numerous clients contacted us seeking assistance. We highly recommend scheduling an online meeting before your trip to acquaint yourself with the necessary procedures, essential documentation, and crucial deadlines. For certain procedures such as the Golden Visa, planning ahead of your journey is particularly advantageous as you will require legal documentation from your country of residence, duly apostilled.

For clients who are already in Spain, we offer the flexibility of arranging an office meeting, a phone call, or an online consultation. With the prevailing circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 90% of our clients now prefer the convenience of online meetings, allowing for easier schedule adaptation while also contributing to reducing pollution and environmental impact.

Assessing Your Legal Needs

Upon receiving your inquiry regarding a particular service or resolution of a problem, we undertake a thorough examination of the potential options that can be tailored to suit your specific needs. We propose an initial consultation, either online or face-to-face, enabling both parties to establish a meaningful interaction. During this introductory meeting, our lawyer or advisor collects all the pertinent data required to conduct a meticulous analysis of your case. We evaluate the associated expenses before you engage our services and explore strategies for optimizing tax implications. Our ultimate goal is to attain a comprehensive understanding of the case or procedure before proceeding with further steps.

Developing a Legal Strategy

To navigate certain procedures, such as Property Conveyancing, Golden Visa applications, and Spanish Residency, a well-crafted strategy is essential. Consider the Golden Visa, for instance, where strict adherence to legal deadlines is a prerequisite to avoid visa denial due to non-compliance or late submissions.

Furthermore, determining the opportune time within the fiscal year (January to December in Spain) for relocation holds immense importance, taking into account potential tax savings and deductions. At Tejada Solicitors, we pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive 360º service. Our team comprises solicitors, immigration lawyers, tax advisors specializing in International Taxation, and architects. This diverse expertise allows us to thoroughly examine your case from various perspectives, evaluating how decisions made in the tax, legal, or immigration arenas can impact you. Although these areas are interconnected, it is crucial to possess a comprehensive understanding of the distinct laws and deadlines governing each domain. 

Keeping You Informed and Involved

Transparency is at the core of our operations here at Tejada Solicitors. We make it a priority to ensure that our clients are consistently informed using a range of communication methods, including email, phone calls, Zoom meetings, or WhatsApp messages. You will receive regular updates on the status of your procedure, as well as comprehensive information about any potential risks or obstacles that may arise. Depending on the specific requirements of your case, a specialist with expertise in the relevant field will be assigned to manage it. Furthermore, we provide a monthly newsletter that delivers news and updates concerning tax, legal, and immigration matters that may be relevant to you.

Achieving the Best Possible Outcome

At Tejada Solicitors, our utmost goal is to secure the best possible results for our clients. We recognize that many of our clients come from the UK, Canada, the US, and diverse parts of Europe, and they often face uncertainty when dealing with a foreign country with distinct languages and bureaucratic procedures. It is vital to acknowledge that efficiency should never be compromised for the sake of speed, particularly when it comes to legal and tax matters in Spain. Our philosophy centres around specialization, the effective dissemination of information, and the prioritization of our communication with clients. This ensures that we consistently achieve the most favourable outcomes.

Solicitor in Malaga - Frequently asked Questions

When you buy a house in Malaga, there are many aspects that a solicitor will need to verify for you, such as the validity of the sale contract, the deeds of the house, outstanding debts or building permissions, which are heavily dependant on local authorities. For this reason, it is highly recommendable to work with a firm of lawyers, even more so if you are not proficient in Spanish.
