Spanish Lawyer expert in Property issues based in UK. Let me help you !!!

I am a qualified Spanish Lawyer, a member of the Barcelona Bar Association - Colegio de Abogados de Barcelona - now living in the UK. I am fluent in English as well as Spanish and have been consulting to UK nationals for some time under the banner, www.spanishproperty lawuk.com.

As a Spanish lawyer I can assist with any aspect of doing business in Spain, but my speciality is advising British people who are buying or selling property in Spain. The stories of disasters for British property owners in Spain are legend and often arise from their failure to treat property purchase in Spain with the same respect as they do in the UK. Very often they are seduced into using lawyers recommended by their Developer and to complete the transaction even though not all the legal requirements have been met. Of course when problems later arise the client blames all those involved in this "tarnished" process, and reputation is everything in this business!

As a qualified Spanish lawyer I start with the advantages of language and training which most British lawyers and their clients do not have but also I take the same approach to a proposed transaction as a UK solicitor would; namely I do not just record and implement an agreement without comment (as a Spanish lawyer or Notary would) but I advise the client about potential problems and help them avoid them, making the whole process much more satisfactory to all those concerned. Of course I also assist the client draft and execute a Spanish will as required.

We seem to live in an era when many, many British people are buying properties abroad with Spain being the most popular "property destination" by far, yet a lack of care in the legal process literally can lead to sleepless nights. My service as a qualified Spanish lawyer - or Abogada to use the Spanish term - can help the process go smoothly.
