Knowledge, order and trust: pillars of any residential property transaction.
In alliance with Montero Estéves Abogados, a Madrid-based law firm, Leipen advises the Mexican community throughout the process of acquiring residential property in Spain, providing structured, transparent and easily understandable legal support at every stage.
By way of example, during the pre-contractual phase Leipen reviews the legal status of the property and its owner, carries out the preparatory formalities of the transaction (including the obtaining of a Foreign Identity Number -NIE- and the opening of a bank account, among others), provides tax advice, and prepares a cost estimate of expenses inherent to the transaction.
During the contractual phase, the necessary agreements are negotiated and drafted, and their execution before a Notary and formalisation by deed are coordinated, ensuring compliance.
During the post-contractual phase, Leipen supervises the change of ownership before the relevant registries, assists with the arrangement or transfer of essential utility services, the setting up of direct debits, and the effective handover and possession of the property.
