Buying or selling a property in Spain is one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make. Our experienced team of Spanish solicitors and lawyers will guide you through every step of the process, protecting your interests from the very first offer to the final signature at the notary.

The conveyancing process covers all the legal procedures involved in the transfer of ownership of a property or building between parties. It begins the moment an offer is accepted and concludes once all contracts have been signed, payments completed, and the property is legally registered in your name.

With over 25 years of experience advising international clients, we handle the entire process independently — with no ties to agents, developers or banks — so you can be confident that our only priority is you.

Why You Need a Lawyer for Conveyancing in Spain

Conveyancing in Spain differs significantly from other countries. Spanish law requires that the initial deed (escritura) be drawn up and signed before a public notary, who acts as a representative of the state and ensures that all applicable taxes are paid upon completion of the sale.

However, a notary does not protect your individual interests — that is our job.

Our lawyers carry out a thorough due diligence process before any contract is signed, checking every legal aspect of the property on your behalf.

What Our Conveyancing Service Includes

✔ Title and ownership verification
We confirm that the seller is the legitimate owner of the property and has full legal authority to sell it.

✔ Debt and charges check
We verify that the property is free of mortgages, charges, unpaid community fees, and outstanding debts with the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento).

✔ Tenancy and occupation status
We ensure there are no tenants or third-party occupants with legal rights over the property.

✔ Pre-emption rights and urban planning
We check that no pre-emptive rights exist over the property and that any nearby construction or development will not negatively affect its value.

✔ Boundaries and measurements
We verify that the boundaries, surface area and description in the Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad) match the actual property.

✔ Planning and building permits
We confirm that all planning permissions and building licences are legally in order.

✔ Coastal and environmental compliance
If the property is located near the coastline, we verify that it was approved by the relevant coastal authorities (Ley de Costas).

✔ First occupation licence
For newly built properties, we ensure the developer holds a certificado de fin de obra (completion certificate) and the corresponding first occupation licence (licencia de primera ocupación).

✔ Land Registry extract
We obtain the official registration number and a full extract of the property from the Land Registry.

✔ Energy Efficiency Certificate
As required by Spanish law, we ensure the property has a valid Energy Performance Certificate (Certificado de Eficiencia Energética) prior to completion.
