Property Law Spain

Many foreigners have a dream of owning a property in Spain. Although property buying horror stories frequently heard years ago, are far less common these days, it is definately not advised to sign your name on a document or contract of sale without first seeking expert legal advice. Do not make the mstake of thinking property laws in Spain are the same as in your country. A local lawyer is probably the best qualified person to help you. If you are unsure about a lawyer's reputation, ask other expats living in the area to recommend a lawyer they have used.

There is an extremely valuable book written by David Searl which covers the property laws in Spain in detail. It is also a mine of information on other areas of Spanish law and anyone considering visiting Spain for long periods should own a copy! It is written in easy to understand everyday layman's english.
