Why you need a lawyer in Spain

Think the Spanish notary checks whether your dream home is 100% legal? Be very careful! 

In Spain, the notary system works differently than in many other European countries. A notary does NOT verify whether the swimming pool was built legally or if there are hidden debts on the property.

In this new episode of House & Home in Spain, I explain why an independent lawyer is absolute necessity: 

  • The crucial difference between the role of the notary and a lawyer in Spain. 
  • The risks of unregistered extensions or illegal swimming pools. 
  • Why debts attach to the property (and how to avoid paying them!). 
  • How thorough legal due diligence protects your investment 100%. 
  • What defines a good lawyer

Avoid a costly mistake and never buy without proper legal screening!
