Complete legal protection when you buy or sell property in Calahonda — from the first reservation to the keys and the Land Registry.
Sitio de Calahonda is one of the largest residential urbanisations on the coast, popular with British and Irish buyers for its apartments, townhouses and sea-view villas. It lies within the municipality of Mijas, under 10 minutes from our office in La Cala.
As your property lawyer in Calahonda, Dolores Perujo knows the area's typical issues — community statutes, urbanisation maintenance fees and older properties with unregistered extensions — and makes sure none of them becomes your problem.

Tell us briefly about your case. We reply to every enquiry within 24 hours.
Thank you — we will be in touch within 24 hours.
Land Registry (nota simple), debts and charges, IBI, community fees, planning status and licences checked before you pay a cent.
We draft or review the reservation and the private purchase contract (arras), with clear deadlines and deposit protection.
NIE numbers, Spanish bank account and coordination with your bank or broker if you need a mortgage.
We prepare and attend the signing of the title deed (escritura) — in person with you, or on your behalf with power of attorney.
Transfer tax or VAT, notary and Land Registry, change of utilities and IBI into your name.
Plusvalía, the 3% non-resident retention, capital gains, mortgage cancellation and everything the buyer's lawyer will ask for.
Besides the building's community of owners, parts of Calahonda pay an urbanisation conservation entity for roads and green areas. We check that both are paid up.
Glazed terraces, extra rooms and pools added over the decades are common. We compare the deed, the Land Registry and the cadastre with what you are actually buying.
Many sellers are non-residents. We manage the 3% retention, the capital gains return and the plusvalía so the sale completes smoothly and you recover any overpaid tax.

Senior lawyer, personal attention, clear fees. Call, WhatsApp or send us your details — the first consultation is free.
Tell us about the property and your plans. You receive a clear written quote before we start.
We verify ownership, debts, licences and community status, and negotiate the reservation terms.
Usually a 10% deposit. We make sure the contract protects you if the seller pulls out or something is found.
Balance paid, title deed signed, keys handed over — with us at your side or acting for you.
We pay the taxes, register the deed in your name and transfer utilities and IBI.
As a rule of thumb, budget 10–12% on top of the price for a resale purchase. Selling as a non-resident? The buyer must withhold 3% of the price on account of your capital gains tax, which we help you reclaim if it exceeds what you owe.
