You can expect a notary to attend our meetings with each other - the notary plays a crucial role in ensuring the legality and authenticity of the documentation involved in property transactions. They verify the identities of the parties, review the contracts, and oversee the signing of the deed. Their involvement is paramount and is a key factor in helping you finalise any agreement. We recognise that each property transaction is unique, and our team includes Spanish and English-speaking Spanish property lawyers to help ease you through the conveyancing process.
Our non-native clients aren’t expected to be well-versed in Spanish conveyancing law, such as the contrato de arras or purchase agreement, which must be signed by both the buyer and the seller to show intent to purchase alongside the payment of a deposit.
