Frequently Asked Questions
About Property Solicitors in Spain
A property solicitor protects the buyer’s interests throughout the transaction: checking ownership and debts, carrying out legal due diligence, reviewing contracts, assisting with NIE and Power of Attorney, calculating taxes and costs and coordinating completion at the notary.
Yes. Tejada Solicitors regularly works with international and non resident buyers. Depending on your circumstances, a Power of Attorney can allow our team to handle many parts of the transaction without you being physically present in Spain.
Using a solicitor is not compulsory, but independent legal advice is strongly recommended. A property solicitor can investigate legal, financial and planning issues before you become fully committed to the purchase.
The cost depends on the property and the legal work required. After discussing your purchase we provide an estimate of our professional fees together with the main expected costs associated with the transaction.
Ideally before signing a reservation or private purchase agreement and before transferring a significant deposit. This gives your solicitor the opportunity to review the transaction before you make important legal or financial commitments.
Yes. Tejada Solicitors works extensively with international clients and members of the property team provide legal assistance in English and Spanish.
