Purchasing a property in Spain can be an excellent investment, whether for personal use, rental income, or long-term appreciation. However, managing a property in another country comes with a range of legal and administrative responsibilities that can be complex. From tax payments to finding tenants, securing insurance, and resolving conflicts with neighbors or local authorities, having a law firm and property management experts by your side can make the difference between a secure investment and a constant source of concerns.
Our Services
Our firm specializes in the comprehensive management of properties for both national and international owners. We provide a complete service that covers all the needs of property owners in Spain.
1. Tax Advisory and Payment of Taxes
A fundamental aspect of managing a property in Spain is complying with tax obligations. We offer guidance on:
- Non-Resident Income Tax (IRNR): If you do not reside in Spain, you must declare any rental income earned from your property or, if vacant, pay a tax on ownership.
- Property Tax (IBI): A mandatory municipal tax for all property owners in Spain.
- Municipal Capital Gains Tax: If you sell your property, we handle the calculation and payment of this tax.
- Tax declarations and filings: We take care of all necessary procedures to ensure full compliance with current regulations.
2. Rental Management and Tenant Search
If you want to rent out your property, we take care of:
- Advertising and promoting your property.
- Screening and selecting reliable tenants.
- Drafting and formalizing rental agreements.
- Managing rent collection and issuing receipts.
- Coordinating maintenance and repairs.
Additionally, we ensure compliance with the latest rental regulations, including the Spanish Urban Leasing Law (LAU) and local legislation.
3. Insurance Contracting
Protecting your investment requires adequate insurance coverage. We provide guidance on selecting and contracting:
- Home insurance: Covers property damage, fires, theft, or vandalism.
- Rental income protection insurance: Guarantees rent payment in case of tenant default.
- Liability insurance: Protects property owners from claims due to damages to third parties.
We work with various insurance providers to find the best options for your specific needs.
4. Protection Against Non-Payment and Claims
One of the biggest risks for property owners renting out their units is tenant default. Our firm offers a comprehensive service to protect against non-payment, including:
- Mediation with tenants: We aim to resolve conflicts amicably to avoid legal proceedings.
- Extrajudicial claims: We issue payment demands and negotiate solutions.
- Eviction procedures: If necessary, we handle the legal process to recover possession of your property quickly and efficiently.

Additionally, if you face issues with the local authorities, we can assist with:
- Permit management: Renovations, tourist rentals, changes in property use, etc.
