As a foreigner buying or selling property in Spain, you should understand the documents you
sign, and you’ll want your transaction to go smoothly and be fully protected against fraud. Spain’s
sunny - and can be laid-back - but there shouldn’t be anything casual about your property
investment. It deserves independent professionals, like
DOMENECH ABOGADOS, who’ll act
exclusively in defence of your interests and aren’t linked to estate agents, banks or other parties
in the transaction. Let the horror stories you read about in the press be other people’s
stories. |
