Complete legal protection when you buy or sell property in Marbella — from the first reservation to the keys and the Land Registry.
Marbella is the Costa del Sol's prime market — Golden Mile villas, Nueva Andalucía golf homes, Puerto Banús apartments and family properties in San Pedro, Elviria and Las Chapas. Higher values mean higher stakes, and planning history here demands extra care.
As your property lawyer in Marbella, Dolores Perujo carries out thorough due diligence, negotiates protective contracts and handles completion discreetly, about 25 minutes from our office in La Cala.
Also serving: Golden Mile, Nueva Andalucía, Puerto Banús, San Pedro de Alcántara, Elviria, Las Chapas, Guadalmina
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.
Marbella's 2010 General Plan was annulled by the Supreme Court in 2015 and the 1986 plan reapplied. We verify each property's licences and planning status so you do not inherit an irregularity.
Some high-end homes are held through Spanish or offshore companies. We review the structure, tax consequences and liabilities before you buy shares or the property itself.
For new developments we check the building licence, the bank guarantee for your stage payments and the specifications in the contract.

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.
