Real Estate Legal Support

Invest with Confidence. Live with Security.

At González Sánchez & Partners, we advise local and international clients on a wide range of real estate transactions in Spain, from property acquisitions and sales to development, leasing and ownership matters.

Our team provides coordinated legal support throughout the transaction, including contract review, due diligence, administrative procedures, property registration and, where applicable, planning and building matters.

We work closely with buyers, sellers, investors and developers to identify legal risks early, structure transactions properly and ensure that each stage of the process is handled with clarity and precision.

Real Estate Practice

Our Expertise

Legal support across the key stages of property acquisition, development, investment and ownership in Spain.

We guide clients through every stage of buying and selling property in Spain, from the initial legal review through to completion before a notary.

Our work may include reviewing Land Registry information, analysing ownership and charges, coordinating due diligence, preparing or reviewing private purchase contracts, advising on deposits and completion terms, and organising the documentation required for the public deed.

We also assist with related administrative and tax matters so that the transaction is properly coordinated from beginning to end.

Buyers • Sellers • International Clients

At González Sánchez & Partners, we advise clients on disputes arising from real estate transactions, property contracts and development matters.

This may include disputes relating to sales and purchases, contractual breaches, hidden defects, leases, construction agreements, development obligations and other conflicts connected with property ownership or investment.

Our objective is to assess the legal position clearly, protect the client’s interests and pursue the most appropriate route towards resolution.

Disputes • Contracts • Property Rights

We provide legal support in connection with real estate development and construction projects in Spain.

Our work may include reviewing and negotiating development agreements, construction contracts and professional appointments involving architects, engineers and other technical specialists.

We help clients identify contractual risks and establish clear legal frameworks before significant commitments or construction works begin.

Developers • Construction • Professional Contracts

We advise private clients, investors and companies considering the acquisition, sale, development or restructuring of real estate assets in Spain.

Legal advice can include transaction structuring, due diligence, acquisition documentation, ownership structures and coordination with tax and corporate advisers where these matters form part of the investment strategy.

Our approach is designed to give clients a clear understanding of both the legal risks and the practical steps involved before committing capital to a transaction.

Investors • Property Structures • Due Diligence

Real estate transactions in Spain may involve anti-money laundering and source-of-funds verification requirements, particularly in international or high-value transactions.

We assist clients with the documentation and legal checks required during the transaction, including information connected with identity, beneficial ownership and the origin of funds where applicable.

Preparing this information correctly and at an early stage can help avoid unnecessary delays during banking, notarial and completion procedures.

AML • Source of Funds • Transaction Compliance
Additional Legal Support

Additional Services We Pride Ourselves On

Complementary legal support for property owners, tenants, investors and individuals requiring advice beyond the transaction itself.

We advise property owners and homeowners associations on matters connected with horizontal property law in Spain.

Our assistance may include reviewing community rules, interpreting owners’ rights and obligations, advising on meetings and resolutions, payment disputes and conflicts arising between owners or with the community.

Where disagreements arise, we help clients understand their legal position and identify the most appropriate route towards resolution.

Communities • Owners • Horizontal Property

We advise tenants on their rights and obligations under Spanish rental and lease agreements.

Our work may include disputes concerning contractual terms, deposits, rent, termination, possession and other issues arising during or at the end of a tenancy.

We review the legal position carefully before recommending the most suitable course of action for each case.

Tenancies • Lease Agreements • Disputes

We advise clients in relation to consumer protection issues arising from banking products connected with property transactions and financing.

This may include reviewing mortgage terms, banking documentation, costs and contractual provisions where the client requires legal clarification or considers that a term may be unfair.

Our objective is to assess the documentation and explain the available legal options clearly and objectively.

Banking • Consumer Rights • Mortgage Matters

We provide legal advice on mortgage deeds and related documentation in connection with property financing in Spain.
