Property Rights & Disputes in Spain
Property lawyers for owners in Spain with questions about their rights or a dispute over boundaries, neighbours, shared areas or the owners' association.
About Property Rights & Disputes in Spain
Owning property in Spain brings rights and duties, and sometimes disputes. This page is for people looking for a property lawyer in Spain (abogado inmobiliario), a real estate lawyer or advice on property law, property rights and property disputes: a boundary dispute (deslinde), a right of way or easement (servidumbre de paso), a neighbour dispute or a problem with the comunidad de propietarios, the owners' association of a building or urbanisation. English-speaking registered lawyers act for owners, often from abroad. Some older lists and lawyer pages call this service “Property Rights, Obligations & Disputes”.
Typical problems
- boundaries, walls and damage from a neighbour's building work;
- rights of way and other easements over land;
- repairs, shared areas and community fees, or decisions of the owners' meeting that an owner disputes;
- doubts about whether a property is legal, see building permits and planning permission.
How a lawyer starts
The first step is the documents: the escritura, the registry entry (nota simple), the cadastral reference and plans, and the community statutes. A plan follows, which can involve negotiation, mediation and, if needed, court. Deadlines in community disputes are short, so early advice matters. Related pages: co-ownership, property purchase and tenancy disputes. More under property law.
Questions and answers
What rights do foreign owners have?
In general the same ownership rights as Spanish owners, with the same duties, such as taxes and community rules.
What is an easement?
A right over someone else's land, for example to cross it to reach a property. Registry entries and deeds show whether it exists.
What can be done in a boundary dispute?
Registry, cadastral and survey documents are compared, then a settlement is tried before a court is considered.
How is a property lawyer different from a notary or an agent?
A notary records deeds for both sides and an agent sells. A lawyer acts for one client.
Can a lawyer act while I am abroad?
Yes, under a power of attorney.

What our clients say about our service in Spain
-
The advice was clear and informative, with legal justification for the recommended actions in the situation that needed legal advice.
— Robin12 Sep 2025Property Rights & Disputes -
The lawyer was so amazingly helpful, assisting me remotely while I was in Haiti and in person when I visited Spain. She has a fantastic personal manner and is super approachable, her English is flawless, and I would 100% use her again for future legal advice in Spain.
— Matt11 Sep 2026 -
He was very responsive and went through the details in depth.
— Jiby24 Mar 2026 -
Outstanding service and a very responsive lawyer.
— Emmanouil01 Oct 2025 -
We had a very good collaboration. The lawyer was very supportive and told me each time a step of the process was completed. Her English is very good, so I could communicate with her very well. I would recommend her at any time.
— Albu30 Sep 2023 -
I only wanted advice from a Spanish legal expert who knows Spanish law on selling property in Spain, where I was a part owner, and on applying for an NIF. The lawyer gave that advice fluently in English, on time and in a professional manner. The advice was accurate and I could not have asked for anything more. She is a true professional in every sense, and I hope she keeps giving expert advice to all the clients she meets through this service.
— Cesar16 Jun 2023 -
I cannot thank this lawyer enough and am so grateful I found her. She answered my emails extremely quickly and dealt sympathetically with all my concerns in a highly stressful situation. I feel she was excellent value for money, and she handled a complex issue in a calm and professional way that reassured me. When something was unclear she took the time to explain it, patiently and clearly, and recommended the most appropriate course of action. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
— Alex21 Apr 2023 -
The service was very helpful and simple to use. What removed my fear of hiring a legal service was how open, transparent and fairly priced it was, and I would recommend it.
— Derry02 Nov 2022 -
This service helped me so much that I can hardly put it into words. The lawyer was one of the biggest helps in opening my business in the Canary Islands!
— Rahel13 Jul 2022 -
She was amazing, explained everything and kept us up to date. A very professional lady; I will use her again and recommend her.
— Paula14 Sep 2021 -
Approachable and professional in knowledge and service, extremely thorough with details, and I am completely satisfied.
— D07 Nov 2025 -
The lawyer has given me peace of mind. Even when there was no response from the other party, she persevered, and ultimately there was a response and an offer to settle the matter. Many thanks! The assistance was excellent, and I will certainly recommend this service to any friends or clients who might need representation in Spain.
