International Acquisitions and Sales
The purchase of a real estate, whether as an investment or as a home is very often a dream coming true for many people.
Especially in very hot real estate market as in the Balearic Islands agility and quick action in these types of operations are essential in order not to miss the opportunity. But agility and speed must be in line with rigour and legal certainty, especially in this type of high-value and legally complex operations.
Our law firm has been successfully advising international clients in particular on all types of property transactions for many years and is constantly adapting its advisory services to new requirements and changes in the law.
We pay particular attention to checking the legality of the property in question, especially with regard to its compliance with the urban planning regulations of all the authorities involved. This point is particularly important on the Balearic Islands, where properties have often not been built in accordance with the regulations in recent decades and their acquisition can now confront the new owner with considerable problems, which can often lead to the (partial) demolition of the newly acquired property. To this end, we utilise the indispensable support of other specialists such as architects and engineers.
Last but not least, of course, the tax component must not be ignored, also with regard to the very individual organisation of the real estate transactions against the international background of our clients keeping in mind as well the long-term implications such as inheritances, donations etc. Here we count on the expert advice of our tax consultants.
