FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common legal questions from our international clients on the Costa del Sol.

For a resale home in Andalusia, budget around 10–12% on top of the price: 7% Transfer Tax (ITP), plus notary, Land Registry and legal fees. New builds carry 10% VAT plus 1.2% stamp duty instead. We give you a written estimate of all costs before you commit — see our property lawyer in Mijas page.
Spouses, children and parents benefit from a €1,000,000 reduction per heir and a 99% tax credit, so they usually pay little or nothing — but the return must still be filed within six months of the death. Other relatives pay more. Non-residents can generally apply the same Andalusian rules. More about our inheritance service.
While not legally mandatory, hiring a lawyer to buy property in Spain is strongly recommended — especially for foreign buyers. A property lawyer in Mijas will conduct essential due diligence: checking the nota simple for hidden debts or charges, verifying planning permissions, reviewing reservation and purchase contracts, and ensuring the property is legally habitable. Without independent legal representation, buyers risk purchasing properties with outstanding mortgages, disputed boundaries, or illegal extensions. The cost of a property lawyer (typically 1% of the purchase price) is a small price compared to potential losses from an unprotected transaction.
Foreign nationals married and living in Spain can obtain a divorce through the Spanish courts. If both parties agree on all terms (consensual divorce), the process typically takes 2–3 months. A contested divorce can take 6–12 months or longer. Your lawyer will prepare the petition, represent you at hearings, and ensure the final judgment is properly registered. We also handle recognition of foreign divorces in Spain. Contact our office for a free consultation.
The NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) is a tax identification number required for all foreign nationals for significant financial or legal activity in Spain — buying property, opening a bank account, paying taxes, starting a business, and more. The application involves attending a police station with specific forms and documentation. Our law office handles NIE applications on your behalf, saving you time and avoiding costly errors.
Yes. British nationals can still move to and reside in Spain, but the process is now more complex than for EU citizens. Options include the Non-Lucrative Visa for retirees, the Digital Nomad Visa, and work-based visas. British nationals resident before 31 December 2020 should exchange their EU certificate for a TIE card. Our immigration lawyer in Mijas guides you through every step.
Yes, a Spanish will is strongly recommended for anyone owning assets in Spain. While a foreign will may technically be recognised, the process of having it verified, translated, apostilled, and enforced in Spain is slow and expensive. A Spanish will, signed before a notary and registered in the Central Registry, allows your estate to be administered quickly. Under EU Regulation 650/2012, you can choose that the law of your nationality governs your estate.
The most common structure is the Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada (SL). Recent reforms reduced the minimum capital to €1. The process involves obtaining an NIE, reserving a company name, drafting articles of association, signing the deed before a notary, and registering with the Mercantile Registry and Tax Agency. The process takes 2–4 weeks. Our business lawyer in Mijas advises on the best structure and handles all paperwork.
