Property Conveyancing

Conveyancing Lawyer in Mijas for Buyers & Sellers

As the Costa del Sol's property market continues to attract thousands of international buyers every year, having an independent conveyancing lawyer in Mijas is not a luxury — it is essential protection. Many buyers mistakenly use the developer's or agent's recommended solicitor, who may have a conflict of interest. Dolores Perujo acts exclusively for buyers or sellers, providing fully independent legal advice at every step of the transaction.

For buyers, the service covers the full process: initial due diligence — checking the nota simple, verifying planning licences, investigating community debts and IBI payments — reviewing and negotiating the private purchase contract (contrato de arras), representing you at notary for completion, and registering the new title at the Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad). For sellers, Dolores manages the complete legal process: obtaining the energy certificate (certificado energético), the certificate of habitability (licencia de primera ocupación), calculating and managing capital gains tax and plusvalía municipal, and ensuring a clean, legally sound transaction.

With over 20 years handling property purchase and sale transactions in Mijas, Fuengirola, Calahonda, Marbella and across the Costa del Sol, Dolores has an established reputation among local estate agents and international buyers alike. Whether you are purchasing a resale villa, a new-build apartment, or selling a property after years of ownership, her expertise ensures every legal detail is covered and your interests are fully protected.

FAQ

Property Conveyancing FAQ — Mijas & Costa del Sol

Common questions about buying and selling property in Spain.

A conveyancing lawyer in Spain handles all legal aspects of a property purchase or sale. For buyers, this includes: obtaining the nota simple to check ownership and debts, conducting planning and building licence checks, reviewing and negotiating the purchase contract, ensuring your NIE is in place, representing you at notary for completion, and registering the new title. For sellers, the lawyer manages contract preparation, capital gains tax calculations, plusvalía municipal, and ensuring the transaction is legally clean.

The nota simple is a document from Spain's Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad) that shows who legally owns a property and what debts or charges are registered against it — including mortgages, embargoes, and other encumbrances. It is the most important document in Spanish property due diligence. Your conveyancing lawyer will obtain and analyse the nota simple before you commit to any purchase.

In Andalucía, buyers should budget for approximately 10–13% of the purchase price in additional costs: Transfer Tax (ITP) at 7%, notary fees (0.5–1%), Land Registry fees (0.3–0.6%), and legal fees (typically 1% + VAT). For new builds, VAT (IVA) at 10% applies instead of ITP. Your conveyancing lawyer will provide a full cost breakdown before you proceed.

Yes. Many international buyers complete their property purchase remotely by granting a Power of Attorney (POA) to their conveyancing lawyer in Spain. Dolores Perujo regularly acts under POA for clients from the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia and beyond, managing the entire purchase process — from due diligence to completion — without the buyer needing to be present in Spain.

The contrato de arras is a private purchase contract between buyer and seller, signed before notary completion. It typically requires the buyer to pay a deposit of 10% of the purchase price. If the buyer withdraws, they forfeit the deposit. If the seller withdraws, they must return double the deposit. Your conveyancing lawyer will review and negotiate the arras contract terms to protect your interests before you sign.
