Spain 1 Legal

Buying a home abroad is exciting. At the same time, we know that it can feel both complicated and a little scary. Getting to grips with bureaucracy, laws and tax regulations can be difficult - especially if you don't speak the language.

Spain1 Legal takes care of all the legal aspects of the property transfer itself, and helps with everything from creating an account in a Spanish bank, to applying for N.I.E. number, take out house insurance, make a will and submit a Spanish tax return for all our customers.

Carolina and Gloria Lopez Braun, with whom you will have the most contact during the process, specialize in services related to the purchase and sale of property in Spain, including legal and tax advice. Maria Ginestar Maisa is our lawyer in Spain and she has over 30 years of experience in the sector.
