Legal Advice for Residential Property Purchasing in Gran Canaria
The short answer is YES: it´s a good idea to hire a Spanish attorney (´Abogado´) to ensure that all of the conveyance work is done correctly. In fact, we may not continue to work with you unless you do! It´s a large purchase in a foreign country, so legal counsel will help you avoid being taken advantage of by less than honest characters and clumsy mistakes. The estimated between 1.5% - 2% fee is worth the price you may save in pain and suffering due to financial loss and unwanted legal battles. Home and Help works with several Abogados that are experts in Spanish property law, as well as fluent in English. When the time is right, you can expect our team to make a recommendation and even set up an appointment for you. Since this is Spain, all of the documentation will have to be in Spanish, and typically most of the players involved will be Spanish as well. The key to a smooth sailing purchase is knowing that you have sound advice and the right people on your side. Home and Help makes sure that is the case!
