Before the keys, certainty.
A beautiful property can still carry an unbeautiful legal history.
What appears in an advert, what exists on site, what the Land Registry describes and what planning law permits are not always the same thing. We compare the complete picture before your money is at risk.
Who owns what?
Ownership, mortgages, easements, attachments and rights affecting the property.
Is every part lawful?
Licences, certificates, discrepancies, rural land rules and enforcement exposure.
What if checks fail?
Deposits, conditions, deadlines, financing and a workable route out of the deal.
What we handle
One team, from first review to registered ownership.
Purchase due diligence
Title, charges, boundaries, licences, planning and the physical property checked before commitment.
Contracts & negotiation
Reservation, arras and purchase contracts drafted around the buyer’s risks and deadlines.
NIE & representation
A coordinated route through the formalities international buyers need.
Notary & Land Registry
Preparation, completion and follow-through until ownership is registered.
Planning & rural property
Focused review of buildings, land, access, water, utilities and historic issues.
Sales & non-residents
Seller preparation, contract, completion, retention and closing coordination.
Our process
Five stages. No legal fog.
- Speak before you sign. Send the listing and reservation document.
- Define the legal scope. We identify the exact searches and specialists required.
- Investigate and report. You receive the findings and clear options in English.
- Negotiate and complete. The contract, funds and notary are coordinated.
- Register and close. Tax, registration and final documents are tracked.
