Don't buy in Spain without Juan.

With us, one fixed fee: €1,600 + VAT for homes up to €400,000, and 0.25% + VAT on the part of the price above that. For a €650,000 home, €2,225 + VAT. Taxes, the notary and the Land Registry are paid at cost, and we show them to you before you sign.

It isn't compulsory, but it is the safe way to buy. Your own lawyer works only for you: Juan checks the home before your deposit is at stake, negotiates the contracts and tells you plainly if you should walk away. If we say walk away, you only pay for the investigation.

Yes. Juan Bertomeu (lawyer, ICALI 4643) has looked after foreign buyers on the Costa Blanca since 1991: more than 1,000 purchases, in English, from our offices in Moraira and Dénia, for Jávea, Calpe, Benissa, Altea and the rest of the coast. Daniel Bertomeu, lawyer and tax adviser, handles the taxes and the residence papers.

No. The purchase is the purchase: €1,600 + VAT for homes up to €400,000, and 0.25% + VAT on the part above. Everything else is optional, and you can add it later at the same price, until twelve months after the signing.

Yes, for every owner who needs one, when you buy with us: we handle the application for you. If you already have yours, nothing changes in the price. On its own, a NIE costs from €182 with VAT.

Because lawyers quote the purchase plus VAT, and that way you can compare our fee with any other quote line by line. Everything else on this page is shown with VAT included.

Yes, with a power of attorney. You sign it once, at a notary or a Spanish consulate, and we sign the purchase for you. The notary's fee for the power is paid separately.

Everything after the signing: we file and pay the purchase taxes (with the 3% withholding when the seller lives abroad), follow the deed until it is registered in your name, and request every change of name (water, electricity, council tax, community) within five working days, then chase it. You also get your digital certificate, so we can deal with the tax office and the council for you, and we file your first non-resident tax return for the home (a garage or storage room with its own cadastral reference is one more per owner, €50 each). €550, VAT included, for one or two owners; €150 more for each further owner.

It isn't compulsory, but without one your heirs face a slower and more expensive process in Spain. With your purchase it is €150 per person; on its own, €300, or €450 for two.

We check it before you buy and tell you in writing whether it can have one and what could limit it. If it can, we apply for it: that is what the price covers. Nobody can promise the council's answer, and we never do.

Not automatically. Under the current Valencian rules the new owner needs a new town hall report in their own name. We check it before you sign and, if it can stay, we move it into your name: €500 with your purchase.

Yes. Answer "Are you moving to Spain?" above and your visa or EU residence is added with its price, VAT included, with your residence card inside and your tax plan for the move included (€990 on its own). If an application is refused, the appeal is included.

Nothing until you sign a one-page engagement letter. It sets the price, what is included and when each part is paid, and points to our page on how we work together: replies within 24 hours on working days, a phone number for what cannot wait, and what counts as a separate consultation.

Never. Anything you have paid us in the last 6 months for something on this page is credited in full, and because we already have your papers, we ask you for less.
