Lawyer specializing in buying property in Spain for foreigners and non-residents

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.

Specialists in Real Estate Transactions for International Buyers

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.

Services in the Purchase of Your Property

Legal and registration due diligence

We check the ownership, encumbrances, debts and urban planning status of the property before buying.

Review of the earnest money and purchase agreement

We negotiate and review contracts to protect your interests and your deposit.

Tax advice for the purchase

We inform you of the applicable taxes (ITP or VAT, capital gains tax) and associated expenses.

Notarial management and representation in the firm

We represent you with power of attorney in the signing of the deed and manage the registration in the Registry.

Related Procedures: NIE, Bank Account and Taxes

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.

How We Work: Step-by-Step Purchase Process

Pre-booking checks

We verify the legal status of the property before any payment.

Signing of earnest money agreement and preparation of the transaction

We reviewed the contract and coordinated the financing and documentation.

Signing of deed and registration

We represent you before a notary and register the property in your name.

Why Choose Sanchez Solicitors?

We offer a fixed price quote, bilingual support, and the option to act as a representative so you don’t need to be present for every step of the process. Our experience with international buyers guarantees a secure transaction, free of legal or tax surprises.
