FAQs
Your Top Questions Answered by Marbella's Trusted Property Law Experts.
What unique benefits does Elite Lawyer Marbella offer?
Experience is everything in any profession — and even more so in the legal field.
The cases a lawyer handles throughout their professional life provide valuable perspective, allowing them to analyze each case from multiple angles. Experience in court proceedings is especially useful, enabling a lawyer to stay two or three steps ahead at every stage of a case.
Marbella, and the Spanish coast in general, are experiencing a period of hyper stimulation in the real estate market. There is insufficient supply to meet the existing huge demand. Numerous factors — economic, social, and financial — are contributing to the intense activity in the real estate market. This heightened activity extends to law firms as well, where those most successful in attracting clients are growing rapidly. Many of these firms include highly qualified lawyers, but few are truly local experts.
Your elite lawyer in Marbella offers to handle the cases of high-end property investment personally, delegating only purely administrative tasks to other professionals. This ensures that clients benefit directly from his local knowledge, experience, and contacts — which have proven very helpful to open doors when required. As the saying goes, it’s not who you know, but who knows you.
Additionally, I provide elite services such as off-site meetings, assistance to set up the best tax strategy to hold your ownership or investment, accompanying clients to the final property viewing before paying the reservation, and other services not usually provided by very busy local lawyers. Naturally, you will have my mobile number.
Can you assist foreign buyers interested in purchasing property in Marbella?
Absolutely. We provide specialized services for international clients, including guidance on compliance with Spanish property laws, assistance with visa and residency issues, and translation of legal documents.
What should I expect during the property buying process with your firm?
The process of purchasing a property can vary depending on the chosen jurisdiction, but in all cases I will guide you from the beginning until the end. The end of a property purchase case is not only to pay the price and receive the keys and the property’s deeds, it goes far beyond. It includes setting up all your property’s services (water, electricity, condo fees, taxes, etc.).
The process takes more time to completely finalize.
How do you charge for your services?
Having a different way to practice law, more personal, more direct and with less infrastructure, we can provide the best possible advice and guidance at reduced and competitive prices.
The more expensive the property, the lower our fee will be in terms of proportion with the price.
Our fee is paid half when we are retained, which is usually after a basic legal due diligence is done and a reservation contract is signed, and the other half when the property is purchased and the deeds of sale executed.
How long does the typical property transaction take in Spain?
This item depends on the location of the property, the type of property, the availability of technicians, and the need of finances of the purchaser. I would say that the process can go from 2-3 weeks in case that the technical report is swiftly produced and there are no major charges on the property nor planning circumstances that might require checking at a Town Hall that is accessible (i.e. Benahavis) from 45–60 days or even more if the property requires investigation at the Town Hall of a municipality that is slow to give appointments to technicians (i.e. Sant Josep sa Talaia in Ibiza) or if a Town Hall planning certificate is required.
What should I do if I face a property dispute?
Contact us immediately. Timely legal intervention is crucial. We can provide expert advice and representation to handle negotiations or litigation, if necessary, to resolve the dispute efficiently and in your favor.
