Support for real estate transactions

In Spain, real estate transaction support is one of the most sought after legal services. The rich culture, the friendliness of the locals and the status of the warmest European country have always attracted tourists and immigrants alike, which explains the stable high activity on the real estate market.

As in most other countries, real estate transactions in Spain are characterised by a complex and multi-stage process, which is further complicated in the case where one of the parties to the transaction is a foreigner. Given this complexity and the high financial risks, legal assistance in such cases is never redundant. And in the case that you do not speak fully in Spanish, you cannot help but have the service of a Russian lawyer to accompany the real estate transactions.

Working as a lawyer on the Costa del Sol, I have gained vast experience in this field, because the region is extremely high demand for housing of any type. I can offer my clients a complete service, not only following the deal but also preceding and solving any legal problems that may arise afterwards.
