1. Free initial meeting with the Client at our offices, so we can understand their situation and see a global picture of what services they will require from us/what services will they need.
2. Assist to our Clients in opening their Bank account in Spain, so they can transfer the funds from abroad to their Spanish account and do the final payment on completion.

We check that the Seller has Good title, we check any encumbrances, liens, charges related to the property. Make sure the property is not affected by a planning regulation that will go against the interests of our Clients. We make inquiries to the Community of Owners and confirm if all the payments have been settled and there are no debts. The same with the utilities, making sure the Buyer will not have to pay for the debts of the Seller. Also, with the property tax, we help our clients to confirm that it has been taken care by the Seller before completion takes place.
