Assisting you in the purchase or the sale of your property, by giving you independent advice and dealing directly with the Vendors and their agents (or the Buyer), reviewing the contract and its conditions, completing Land Registry searches, where applicable obtaining building certificate and or planning status from the Council, supervising relevant documents from the builder and bank guarantees, if buying a new-build, and appointing a notary for completion.

Laura Garcia will ensure that once you have completed the purchase, the tax is paid, the property is registered in your name at the Land Registry and that the utilities are transferred to your name.

There are also other important issues to take into consideration when buying a property, such as if the previous owner has unpaid utility bills or council tax bills that would charge the property, or if any of the utilities are disconnected it may not be so straight forward to reconnect, depending on each particular case. We also can give you advice and help you with the application of the NIE numbers and money transfers.
