PROPERTY TRANSFER
Spanish Property Transfer
If you own property in Spain, there may come a time when you need to transfer ownership, whether you’re passing it on to your children, updating shared ownership with a partner or family member, or transferring it between companies. These situations are common, but the legal process behind them can be anything but straightforward.
Trying to handle a Spanish property transfer on your own can quickly feel overwhelming. With unfamiliar paperwork, regional tax rules, and legal procedures often in a different language, it’s easy to feel unsure about where to start or what’s required.
At Gascon Bernabeu, we’re here to take that pressure off your shoulders. Our team of experienced English-speaking solicitors in Spain will guide you through the process step by step, making sure everything is clear, legally sound, and tailored to your circumstances. Whether your property is located in mainland Spain, the Balearic Islands, or the Canary Islands, we’ll help ensure the transfer is simple and done correctly the first time.
Do you need to transfer a property in Spain?
There are many reasons why you might need to transfer ownership of a property in Spain. You may want to pass your home on to your children while you’re still here, gift your share of a holiday property to a family member, update a joint ownership agreement, or complete a transfer between companies. We can also assist with company property transfers, whether you’re moving assets between businesses or transferring ownership to an individual.
If your property is jointly owned, for example, by couples, siblings or friends, and one co-owner may wish to transfer their share to the other(s). We can guide you through these arrangements to make sure the transfer is handled correctly from a legal and tax perspective. Whatever the reason for your poverty transfer in Spain, the process can quickly become stressful if you’re trying to manage it on your own.
Right now, we’re seeing more and more UK clients choosing to transfer their Spanish properties to their children, particularly in response to changing tax rules following Brexit. In many parts of Spain, family transfers can often be completed with minimal tax liability, usually limited to legal, notarial, and land registry fees.
If any of these situations are similar to yours, that’s where we come in. At Gascon Bernabeu, our English-speaking solicitors in Spain handle the legal process for you from start to finish, so everything is taken care of properly, without unnecessary delays or complications.
How does our property transfer service work?
We begin with a free, no-obligation consultation where we take the time to understand your specific situation. Then we’ll explain your options and provide a clear understanding of the costs involved from the outset, so you know exactly what to expect.
If you decide to move forward with us, your dedicated English-speaking solicitor at Gascon Bernabeu will take care of all the legal steps on your behalf. This includes gathering essential documents such as the title deeds (escritura), recent tax bills, and ID for the parties involved.
If you were wondering, there’s no need for you to travel to Spain. We can prepare a Power of Attorney so that we can act on your behalf during the transfer. We’ll also help you find a UK-based notary to witness the signing with the document provided in both English and Spanish, so everything is fully understood before anything is signed.
Once everything’s in place, we’ll arrange the final signing at a notary’s office in Spain, just as with a property purchase. From start to finish, we manage the entire process, handling the paperwork, appointments, and formalities so you don’t have to. Most property transfers can be completed within a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the case and how quickly documentation is provided. We’ll always keep you informed of progress and timings along the way.
