Marbella Real Estate - buyer's guide

Step 8 is focused on notaries

A notary arrangs the details of the title deed. To update them in the local land register - informing of the identity of the new owner. The Notary function is to oversee all legal proceedings. You will always see a Notary when, exchanging contracts for the purchase of your property, to register wills or give power of attorney to your solicitor to allow him to purchase a property on your behalf.

Some important points to keep in mind are:

• You will need several passport sized photographs
• Some Notarys insist that men wear trousers not shorts
• You will need a NIE number (Numero de Identificacion de Extranjeros)
