Real estate law in Spain
Buying, selling or leasing property seems straightforward — until it is not. An undetected registered encumbrance, a lease with unfair terms, an owners' community in dispute, a development that does not comply with planning permission. At that point, the cost of not having had legal advice before signing becomes very clear.
Request a consultationReal estate advice with a transactional mindset
We approach real estate law with the same mindset we apply to an M&A transaction: thorough due diligence before signing, risk identification, contract negotiation with real client protection, and support through to completion and Land Registry registration.
Property purchase and sale
Real estate due diligence (encumbrances, planning status, existing leases, tax position), contract negotiation and drafting, completion management and Land Registry registration.
Complex real estate transactions
Structuring of real estate investment transactions, sale & leaseback, developments and urban planning projects.
Leases
Negotiation and drafting of residential and commercial lease agreements, rent reviews and resolution of tenancy disputes.
International investors
Advice to non-resident buyers acquiring property in Spain, including NIE, optimal tax structure, representation before notary and registry, and coordination with financial institutions for mortgage financing. For international investment in Spain with a multijurisdictional approach, we integrate both practices.
Tax and planning coordination
We work with the client's tax advisers and planning consultants to ensure the transaction is efficient from every angle — not just the legal one.
