Buying a property in Spain with the assistance of a real estate lawyer avoids legal risks and ensures a secure transaction.
At Sánchez Solicitors, we guide foreign and non-resident buyers through the entire process, from land registry checks to signing at the notary’s office, offering services in Spanish and English on the Costa del Sol.
We review every document and contract to ensure a secure purchase, free of hidden charges. We coordinate the legal, tax, and notary aspects, and manage all associated procedures—NIE, bank account, taxes—so you can buy your home in Spain with complete peace of mind, even if you live abroad.
Every property purchase by a foreigner requires obtaining a NIE (Foreigner Identification Number) and, usually, opening a bank account in Spain. We take care of these procedures and the payment of taxes on the transaction, offering a complete solution so you don’t have to coordinate several professionals on your own.
