Buying and selling lawyer in Marbella

When you are faced with buying or selling a property, it is crucial to have the backing of a Marbella conveyancing lawyer. Their advice will not only save you unnecessary worry, but can also save you money in the process.

In Marbella and the Costa del Sol, every real estate transaction can present unique challenges. We deal with both national and foreign owners, and negotiate with properties that can have problems, especially after the annulment of the General Urban Development Plan of 2010 in the municipality of Marbella.

It is essential to be clear about any potential planning issues that may arise when purchasing a property in this area. Otherwise, you may be in for some very unpleasant surprises, such as a planning infringement.

In addition, if you are considering buying off-plan, it is essential to ensure that the developer provides guarantees that the deposit will be refunded in the event that the property is not completed as agreed in the contract.

In all these situations, having the legal backing of a lawyer specialised in buying and selling property in Marbella makes all the difference, because it provides peace of mind and greater guarantees for a successful transaction.

What does a lawyer do in the sale and purchase?

If you are embarking on the process of buying or selling a property, it is highly recommended that you seek the advice of an real estate lawyerWhy? Because their role goes beyond simply drafting or reviewing legal documents.

Here we explain exactly what a lawyer does during a sale and purchase:

1. Comprehensive researchThe lawyer is responsible for investigating the legal situation of the property. This involves checking whether there are any outstanding charges, tax debts, mortgages, liens, or town planning infringements. He also makes sure that the registry information matches reality, checks compliance with municipal regulations and the documentation related to the community of owners.
2. Contract review: Durante el proceso de compraventa se firman varios contratos, como el de arras, el de compraventa, y el del préstamo hipotecario. El abogado revisa minuciosamente estos documentos para garantizar que no contengan cláusulas abusivas y proteger los intereses de su cliente.
3. Mortgage processingIf financing is required, the lawyer can assist in arranging mortgages with different banks. If you ask us, our aim will be to obtain the best conditions for your mortgage.
4. Calculation of costs and taxesThe lawyer calculates all the costs associated with the sale, such as VAT, transfer tax, capital gains tax, mortgage, notary, registration, valuation and other costs. In addition, he clearly establishes who must assume each expense to avoid future confusion.

As you can see, a conveyancing lawyer in Marbella can be your best ally. Especially if you do not have much experience in this type of transaction. Not only does he or she offer legal advice, but also acts as an expert guide who looks after the interests and security of his or her clients throughout the property transaction process.
