Comprehensive Legal Advice for Real Estate Investments
At Defensa't Lawyers and Solicitors, our goal is to ensure that every real estate investment in Spain is made with complete legal certainty. We thoroughly analyze the property's planning and registration status, as well as verify all tax obligations. This way, we prevent our clients from facing unexpected problems after the purchase.
Defense before the public administration
At Defensa’t, we are familiar with the internal workings and decision making process of the planning authorities as we work with Councils in an advisory capacity. Should you need assistance, for example, with sanction because of an illegal construction, a demolition order, unlicensed solar panels, the initiation of an urban development that obliges property owners to contribute to funding the development, or noise contaminations, Defensa’t can help you in a wide array of matters.

Step-by-Step Counseling Process
Consult the competent authorities in matters of urban planning
We analyze the municipality's urban planning to ensure the property complies with current regulations. We verify whether the area is urbanized, whether there are any debts or legal restrictions, and whether the property could be subject to future land transfers or expropriations.
Review in the Property Registry
We verify the ownership of the property, any encumbrances, and any limitations that may affect ownership. This ensures there are no surprises, such as undeclared easements or pending litigation.
Verification in the Cadastre
We review property tax data and its impact on property taxes. This includes anticipating potential tax adjustments that could result in unexpected costs after the purchase.
Clear and Reliable Legal Reports
Defensa't provides its clients with comprehensive written reports that not only assess the property's legal status but also allow for negotiation of the purchase price based on possible irregularities.
Legalization of Housing on Non-Developable Land
In the Valencian Community, there are more than 300,000 homes built on undeveloped land. If you purchased one of these properties, you may face problems obtaining occupancy permits or accessing new public services. At Defensa't Lawyers and Solicitors, we offer solutions through the "Environmental Impact Minimization" system, a legal option for regularizing the status of your home.
