Selling Property in Spain – Sell with confidence together with us. We calculate Spanish capital gains and plusvalía taxes beforehand so you know the net proceeds. We prepare all paperwork, coordinate with buyers and notaries, and file the necessary tax returns (including the 3% withholding for non-residents).
Inheritance & Wills in Spain – Inherit Spanish property smoothly. We advise on cross-border inheritance rules (EU regulation), help you draft or translate wills, obtain notarial inheritance deeds and calculate/decline taxes. We work with your UK/Irish solicitor or manage everything here on your behalf if needed.
Non‑Resident Tax & Compliance – Stay compliant with Spain’s tax obligations. We prepare and file your annual Non-Resident Income Tax, wealth tax in Spain declarations, rental income returns, and any other Spanish fiscal filings. Our tax experts optimize your liabilities within the law and keep you up to date on deadlines.
Power of Attorney & Remote Assistance – You don’t have to be in Spain to transact. By granting us a Power of Attorney in Spain, we can sign documents (at notaries or agencies) on your behalf. This allows you to close deals or handle legal matters from abroad without extra travel. Contact us to arrange a POA.
