Advisory
Strategic Legal Purchase Advisory
An integrated advisory approach designed to guide and protect property acquisitions in Marbella.
Combining legal discipline with strategic perspective, each stage of the transaction is approached with clarity, structure and full awareness of its implications.
The Advisory Framework
A structured approach guiding the acquisition from initial considerations through to completion and beyond.
Structure & Clarity
Before any commitment is made, the framework of the acquisition must be clearly defined. This phase ensures that the transaction is structured correctly from the outset — legally, strategically and in alignment with long-term objectives.
It typically includes:
- Strategic onboarding consultation
- Clarification of intended use and long-term objectives
- Explanation of the Spanish acquisition framework
- Identification of legal and structural risks
- Discussion of acquisition structure (personal or corporate)
- Coordination with independent tax advisors where required
Legal Due Diligence
Legal protection is not a formality — it is the foundation of a secure acquisition. At this stage, a structured legal review is conducted to confirm that the property is properly registered, compliant and free from undisclosed risks.
It typically includes:
- Comprehensive property legal review
- Land Registry verification
- Planning and license status confirmation
- Verification of debts and encumbrances
- Review of existing documentation
- Contract review and negotiation support
Transaction Management
International acquisitions require precise coordination across legal, contractual and financial stages. Each step of the transaction is managed in the correct sequence — safeguarding both legal position and financial interests.
It typically includes:
- Review and negotiation of reservation and deposit agreements
- Preparation and coordination of powers of attorney
- Supervision of funds flow and regulatory compliance (including AML considerations)
- Coordination of NIE and banking formalities
- Communication with seller representatives and advisors
- Notary coordination
- Timeline supervision and signing preparation
Completion & Continuity
Completion does not mark the end of responsibility. This phase ensures that all formalities are properly concluded and that ownership is correctly registered. Where required, further legal and strategic guidance is provided beyond completion.
It typically includes:
- Coordination of signing at the notary
- Oversight of ownership registration
- Post-completion legal formalities
- Ongoing advisory support where required
- Introduction to trusted independent professionals where appropriate
Advisory Engagement
Each acquisition differs in complexity, structure and degree of coordination required.
Advisory engagements are structured individually following an initial consultation.
Bespoke advisory arrangements may be agreed depending on the nature of the mandate.
