A completed new build
The home may be ready to view. We still need to review the developer's sale terms, completion documents and what is outstanding before signing.
Buy with Juan · New-build and off-plan
A new home. Your own lawyer, before you commit.
Buying from a developer brings a different contract, payment schedule and set of documents. Juan looks after your side, from the reservation to the notary.

The stage changes the work
Ready to move in, or still being built?
An off-plan purchase
You may pay before the home is finished. We review the commitments, payment documentation and agreed milestones from the start.
The same fixed new-build supplement applies to both. We confirm the actual work and payment stages in your engagement letter.
What Juan takes care of
The decisions before the keys.
Before you reserve
We review the developer, the property and the available planning documents. We explain the reservation terms and identify what is missing before you commit.
Before each commitment
We review the purchase contract, payment schedule and the documentation protecting advance payments, where applicable. You receive the issues and the changes we recommend in writing.
While the purchase progresses
We follow up the agreed documents and milestones with the developer. If the proposed terms or timetable change, we explain the legal implications for your purchase.
Before signing and handover
We review the completion and occupation documents applicable to the home, coordinate the notary and explain any outstanding points. A technical inspection can be arranged separately.
The agreed legal purchase work is included. Building surveys, snagging, technical reports, litigation and formal claims are separate. We cannot guarantee construction quality, the developer's performance or a delivery date.
Your fee, before the form
One fixed supplement. The rest of the formula stays the same.
The €800 + VAT supplement does not grow with the price of the home. Optional wills, residence services and licence applications can be added in the same calculator.
Purchase taxes, notary, Land Registry, official charges and third-party costs are separate. We confirm the appropriate purchase taxes and post-completion scope for this property; a new build does not use the standard resale tax estimate.

Before you decide
€2,400 + VAT (€2,904 including VAT) for a property up to €400,000. Above that, add 0.25% + VAT only on the price over €400,000. This is the usual purchase fee plus a fixed €800 + VAT for new-build work. It is not a 50% increase on the whole fee. Purchase taxes, notary, Land Registry and third-party costs are separate.
