Spanish Legal Services
Owning a property or running a business in Spain can be very different from owning a property or business in England. At hc solicitors our team of English and Spanish property lawyers understand the law and customs in both England and Spain.
Buying a Property in Spain
We can manage the whole purchase process for you to ensure that no obstacles prevent the acquisition of the property. Our Spanish lawyers can check any mortgage you have arranged and include additional services such as utilities contracts or translation of the Residents Association rules.

Selling a Property in Spain
As solicitors qualified in both England and Spain, we can manage the legal process of sale, including reviewing the legal status of the property, negotiating contracts and completing the registration in the Land Registry and ensure that your sale is completed as smoothly as possible, keeping you informed in your choice of Spanish or English.
Selling a Property
Property Health Check
Our Spanish-trained lawyers can undertake a health check to ensure that your property was obtained with the appropriate title. Problems can often be overlooked at the purchase stage which can cause difficulty when it is time to sell or bequeath the property. We can also conduct a full review of the legal status of the property by consulting the Cadastre, the Land Registry and the Local Council, among other checks.

Spanish Wills and Probate
We can help you prepare a Spanish Will which can be the best way for a UK citizen to dispose of their property abroad so that your wishes are carried out and you avoid too great a tax liability. We have solicitors trained in both English and Spanish inheritance law who can advise you on the differences between the two systems and on making a Will in Spain.

Spanish Tax Advice
As part of our Spanish property legal service, our team of legal specialists can provide full information about the Spanish tax system, advise you on the inheritance tax situation in Spain and England and help you to decide where to make a Will and how best to manage your Inheritance Tax Liability.
