From analysis to closing
We review the asset, the legal risks and the tax effects, negotiate the purchase and coordinate financing, notary and registry. See property purchase lawyer and due diligence.
Structuring the investment
Buying personally or through a Spanish or foreign company changes taxes on income, wealth and sale. We decide it with you and our tax colleagues. See corporate lawyer.

Example: property investment in Mallorca
Based on situations we commonly see; not a specific client. A Belgian investor wanted to buy and renovate two townhouses in Palma's old town for long-term rental. Our checks found that one was listed as protected heritage, limiting the works. He bought only the other and adjusted the business plan.
