Finding a property lawyer in Estepona
In Estepona the list has four property lawyers. All of them work in English and Spanish, and between them they also speak German, Dutch and the Nordic languages.
Much of Estepona's new building is off-plan, along the coast road and in the hills behind the town. If you are buying before the home is finished, ask the lawyer how they check the building licence and the bank guarantee for each payment.
Some firms here are small offices with one lawyer, while others also have an office in Marbella. Ask who will actually handle your file, and how often you will hear from them. One firm on the list handles the whole purchase by power of attorney, which suits buyers who live abroad and cannot travel for each step. Whoever you choose, do not pay the reservation deposit before the lawyer has checked the land registry.
