Property Solicitor on the Costa Blanca: Buying and Selling Property in Spain
Buying or selling a property in Spain is not always as simple as finding a property and signing at the notary. The process involves legal checks, contracts, taxes, documentation, banks, notaries and the Land Registry, with considerable administration and bureaucracy along the way.
For clients living abroad, dealing with all of this in a different country and language can make the process even more complicated.
At Luis Ruiz Solicitors, we help international clients manage the entire legal and administrative process of buying or selling property on the Costa Blanca.
We Can Handle the Process for You
Our aim is to make the process as straightforward as possible for you.
From the initial legal checks through to completion and the subsequent registration of the property, we can coordinate the different stages of the transaction and liaise with estate agents, banks, notaries, tax authorities and the Land Registry on your behalf.
Where appropriate, you can also give us a Power of Attorney, allowing us to act on your behalf in Spain. This means that you do not necessarily need to travel to Spain every time a document needs to be signed or a procedure needs to be completed.
This is particularly useful for clients living in the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries.
Buying Property on the Costa Blanca
Whether you are buying a holiday home, an investment property or your future home, we can assist with the legal and administrative side of the purchase.
Our work can include:
- Legal checks on the property
- Reviewing reservation and purchase contracts
- Arras contracts and deposits
- NIE and documentation
- Coordination with estate agents and banks
- Notary arrangements
- Property taxes and payments
- Land Registry registration

We assist clients purchasing properties throughout the Costa Blanca, including Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa, La Zenia, Playa Flamenca, Punta Prima, Cabo Roig and Campoamor.
Selling Property in Spain
Selling a property can also involve more administration than many owners expect, particularly for non-residents.
We can assist with the documentation, coordination with the estate agent, preparation for completion, notary procedures, relevant taxes and post-sale formalities.
Our objective is to coordinate the process so that you do not have to deal separately with every professional and public administration involved.
Property and Tax Matters
Our assistance can also extend beyond the purchase or sale itself, including:
- Non-resident taxation
- Property-related taxes
- Spanish wills and inheritances
- Powers of Attorney
- NIE procedures
- Mortgage cancellation
- Other legal and administrative matters connected with owning property in Spain
