How it works
Three steps, and a lawyer at each one.
1
Send us the homes
The advert link, the address or the cadastral reference of up to three homes, and three lines about what you want the home for.
2
We read them
Land Registry, Catastro, the town hall and the Generalitat, home by home. On day one we also request what takes weeks, and ask the agent for the seller's papers. All inside the price.
3
Juan tells you which one
In three working days: a written report in English and a call with Juan Bertomeu, lawyer since 1991. Which one, why, and on what conditions.
Juan Bertomeu reads the official records of each home before you make an offer.
In three working days
What we read in three working days
Who owns it, and any mortgage or charge on it: we order the Land Registry extract of each home.
The size on paper against the Catastro and the advert.
Planning: what the land is, and whether the works you want are possible.
Heritage protection, flood risk and the coast.
Signs of works built without a permit, in the aerial photographs and the official notices.
The building condition report, if the home is over 50 years old.
Tourist letting: whether it has a licence, and whether you could get yours.
What it costs to buy and to own each year.
Our verdict, and a call with Juan.
Day one
What we request on day one, inside the price
From the town hall: the certificate that there are no planning proceedings on the home, and the planning report, where the town issues them. With your yes, home by home.
From the agent: the IBI receipt, the community papers, the energy certificate and the licences.
Offices take from one week to several months. You don't wait for them: your report says what is on its way, and when each paper arrives we read it and send you one more page.
Recommended for old homes. Paid to the surveyor; we tell you what to check.
Not in it
What is not in it: that is the purchase
Checking or negotiating the reservation and deposit contracts, dealing with the agent and the seller, and the notary. When you instruct us to buy, they start on day one, and the €950 comes off our fee in full.
The price
€950, VAT included
Up to three homes, within 30 days. You can swap a home before we start reading it.
A written report in English, and a 45-minute call with Juan.
If you buy with us within six months, this home or another one, the €950 comes off our purchase fee in full.
Our purchase fee is €1,600 + VAT up to €400,000 (€1,936). With this report deducted, €986 more.

Your taxes, your NIE and certificate, your first tax return and, if you move, your visa.
Questions
Four questions buyers ask
No. If none fits what you want, the report says why and what to look for next. The €950 still comes off if you buy another home with us within six months.
That is the first day of the purchase. Don't sign a reservation without us: when you instruct us, we check it, and the €950 comes off our fee.
No. Everything is by email and phone. And if you buy with us, you don't have to come back to sign: with a power of attorney, we sign for you.
Tell us and send another one. A home only counts once we have started reading it.
Tell us about the homes
Send us the homes. Juan or Daniel replies with the engagement letter.
Nothing starts and nothing is charged until you say yes. If it's urgent:
