Marbella Real Estate - buyer's guide

Step 7 is focused on solicitor inolvement

If you decide to go for a property that you have seen, then you will involve a solicitor to make a legal inspection on the property. The lawyer takes the legal responsibility for checking the land registry, the title deed, and then preparea a private contract which will bind both parties to the deal. To take the property off the market you can sign a contract and make a deposit payment. This deposit is non-refundable but ensures that you have the right to purchase this property (no-one can snatch it away from you!). At this stage you will also agree on subsequent payments and dates of making these payments.

On a new property this would be a good time to make any changes you require. A typical example is the upgrade of the normal electricity supply, which is usually necessary if you will have Air Conditionaing. Such changes can save you a lot of hassle and money.

The next step is to get a notary to formalise the purchase through a notary.
