Claims and Disputes in Real Estate Transactions: How a Lawyer Can Help You

Buying a property is one of the most important investments you can make, especially if you are moving your residence to Spain. However, real estate transactions do not always go smoothly and claims and disputes may arise. This is where a lawyer specialized in real estate and immigration law can make a difference.

How a Lawyer Can Help You in Claims and Disputes

Review of Contracts: A lawyer will review all documents and contracts to ensure that they comply with the law and protect your interests.

○ Example: María, a German retiree, found her dream house in the city of Quesada. Her attorney reviewed the sales contract and discovered a clause that could have forced her to pay additional taxes not initially specified. Thanks to the lawyer’s intervention, that clause was eliminated, saving her thousands of euros.

Dispute Resolution: Should a dispute arise with the seller, the buyer, or even with local authorities, a lawyer can mediate and seek a favorable solution.

○ Example: John, a British expat, had a disagreement with the seller about the condition of the property. The attorney mediated the dispute and got the seller to agree to make the necessary repairs before finalizing the sale.

Defect Claims: If you discover defects in the property after purchasing, a lawyer can help you file a claim against the seller or builders.

○ Example: Lisa, a Swedish citizen, bought an apartment in Torrevieja and then discovered serious structural problems. Her lawyer filed a claim against the builders and was able to obtain compensation that covered the full cost of the repairs.

Continuous Advice: From searching for properties to finalizing the purchase, a lawyer provides you with continuous legal advice.

○ Example: Pierre, French, received continuous advice from his lawyer throughout the process of purchasing his house in Torrevieja. The lawyer helped them understand local regulations, manage the necessary paperwork, and ensure all documents were in order, making their experience smooth and stress-free.
