Selling a property with a real estate lawyer in Spain guarantees a secure transaction and optimizes your tax situation.
At Sánchez Solicitors, we assist foreign and non-resident sellers throughout the entire process, managing the paperwork, taxes, and notary signing with bilingual service on the Costa del Sol and throughout Spain.
We prepare the necessary documentation, review the contract, and coordinate the signing to ensure a smooth sale. We understand the specific tax regulations for non-resident sellers and work to ensure they meet their obligations and recover the amounts due to them as quickly as possible.
