A Spanish Lawyer is recommended

Getting an English speaking lawyer is important. The lawyer will check to make sure the property is legal, the debts, if any, registered to the property are being cleared from the sale proceeds. They also controls the flow of money through client accounts, organizes the connection of services, and if they have power of attorney can sign at the notary to complete on your behalf. We can recommend an independent English speaking lawyer to take you through the purchase of your Spanish property.
