Do I Need a Legal Advisor?

Definitely yes.

The question often arises of ‘Do I Need a Legal Advisor?’ The answer is a definite YES!

When buying a home, although it is not mandatory to hire the services of a lawyer or legal adviser. It is certainly highly recommended, especially for non-residents in Spain who may have very different legislation in their countries of origin and also do not speak the Spanish language.

And especially if you want to save money. Since with their management they will make certain clauses in the sale contract to be modified in a way that translates into guarantees in the purchase of the home, shorten terms or ensure the amounts are paid on account. A good negotiation of the ‘contract of sale’ of your lawyer / legal advisor will also avoid abusive clauses that imply an extra expense of money or a lack of protection of your rights.

In addition, you can benefit from all their experience, and they will make recommendations for the best banks to work with or currency exchange companies, all focused on having the best return on your money.

Of course, they will also take care of the extra steps involved in buying a home in Spain by a non-resident, such as obtaining the NIE number and tax obligations for non-residents, among many other things.
