Independent Legal Advice When Buying in Spain
When you arrive in Spain ready to begin the search for your dream home, having reliable and independent legal advice is essential.
Although the Spanish buying process shares similarities with other European countries, appointing an experienced Spanish lawyer will make the transaction clearer, safer and considerably less stressful. Having your identification, finances and paperwork prepared from the beginning can also help prevent unnecessary delays later.
Many of our clients already have their own legal representative. If you do not, Jacaranda Spain can introduce you to several independent, established lawyers who are experienced in Spanish property transactions and able to communicate in your preferred language.
Your chosen lawyer can assist with:
- Obtaining an NIE number (Foreigner Identity Number) and, where necessary, your TIE (Foreigner Identity Card)
- Opening a Spanish bank account
- Reviewing reservation and deposit contracts
- Checking the property’s ownership, debts and legal status
- Confirming planning and habitation documentation
- Reviewing the Energy Performance Certificate
- Preparing for completion at the Notary
- Arranging Powers of Attorney when required
- Supporting you after completion with utilities and other formalities
Your lawyer works independently on your behalf, while Jacaranda Spain coordinates with all parties to help keep the purchase progressing smoothly.

Dear Jacaranda Spain,
Jennie and I want to thank you so much for your help in selling our house.
What could have been a very traumatic process for us was made smooth and simple by you and your team.
Please also extend our thanks to Sofie and Esther (Marti Assessors) for their help.
Best regards,
Norman Tollan
