Property Law

These are not only regulated in the Civil Law Code, but also in mortgage law, notary law, the Code of Civil Procedure, Special citizen regulations (such as the Urban Letting Act), or the Foral Law, which is applicable in some territories of the Spanish state. We have Spanish lawyers who specialise in Foral Civil Law, who can also control all your formalities in Spain.

It is important to keep in mind at the time of carrying out property trading, to take notice of other types of law, including Administrative Law, and its aspects which refer to construction and tax Law in Spain.

Different types of laws to keep in mind

Construction Law: made up of judiciary-administrative rules which regulate town planning, deal with land management and tland use.

Land law: extensive and is regulated by not only State Administration, but also autonomous and local administrations, making issues related to this branch of law more complex.

Our Spanish lawyers can help you to apply for permits, or litigate with the administration in cases of disagreements.

Property Tax Law: present in all types of property trades, including both those carried out by companies and by individuals.

Different types of taxation exist according to the type of trade. Therefore, for accurate advice when dealing with property, you should choose a lawyer who has as much knowledge of Civil Law as Tax Law.

We take care of the necessary taxes, not only in the moment of investment (IVA, ITPAJD), but also at the time of divestment (IIVTNY, capital gain in the IRPF or in the IRNR).

Why choose us?

For many clients who are not residents, our lawyers take care of completing their tax obligations during the property tenancy. For example, our lawyers can take charge of the Wealth Tax or if there is a need to declare income for the renting of a property.

In our firm, we have lawyers with ample experience in all types of trades with property, having advised clients of all types, whether individuals or legal persons, residents or non-residents.

We have also helped companies which are not based in Spain who would like to purchase factories or hotels in Spain.
