Real Estate Lawyer in Marbella

A real estate lawyer can advise on the legal issues surrounding property transactions, investments, leases, new developments and planning matters. At MT Legal Lawyers, we assist with both residential and commercial real estate matters and assess the legal documentation and circumstances relevant to each case.

Where the matter concerns the complete purchase or sale process, our dedicated conveyancing service covers the legal stages from the initial checks and contracts through to completion and registration.

The checks required depend on the property and the type of transaction. They may include reviewing ownership and Land Registry information, existing charges, contractual documentation and relevant planning or licensing matters.

For property purchases, legal due diligence should be carried out before the buyer becomes fully committed wherever possible. Our conveyancing team can provide more detailed advice on the legal searches involved in purchasing property in Marbella.

Yes. MT Legal Lawyers advises on new-build and property development matters, including relevant contracts, declarations and registrations, as well as legal issues arising from delays in delivery.

Because every development and contract is different, the documentation and legal position should be reviewed individually before significant financial commitments are made.

Yes. Our real estate legal services are not limited to residential property. We can advise on matters involving different types of real estate assets, including offices, commercial premises and other property investments.

The legal work required will depend on the nature of the asset, the transaction and the parties involved, so the first step is to review the circumstances and documentation relating to the proposed investment.

Depending on the transaction, many legal steps can be managed without the client being physically present in Marbella. A Power of Attorney may allow a lawyer to complete specified formalities and sign certain documents on the client’s behalf.

Our team can explain whether a Power of Attorney is appropriate for your particular matter and which powers would need to be included.

A local lawyer combines knowledge of Spanish real estate law with direct familiarity with the institutions involved in property matters in Marbella.

MT Legal Lawyers has been based in Marbella since 2014, and our office is located on Avenida Ricardo Soriano. This local presence allows clients to deal directly with a legal team familiar with Marbella Town Hall, the Land Registry, local notaries and the procedures commonly involved in property-related matters.

Fees for property matters are commonly calculated either as a percentage of the purchase price or as a fixed fee, depending on the nature and complexity of the work. Once we have reviewed the basic details of your transaction, we will set out the proposed scope of work, our fees and any foreseeable third-party costs such as notary, Land Registry and gestoría charges, so you have a clear picture before instructing us.

In addition to the purchase price, a buyer should budget for transfer tax or VAT depending on whether the property is a resale or a new build, plus notary fees, Land Registry fees and legal fees. Non-resident buyers should also consider their ongoing Spanish tax obligations once they own the property. We set out the applicable taxes and estimated costs for your specific purchase before you commit.
