Property Title Transfer in Spain

Who it is for

This service helps people move the ownership of a property, called the title, from one person to another. It suits people who have moved abroad, residents and investors. Common reasons include sharing out property when a relationship ends, putting a foreign divorce ruling into effect, and giving a property to a family member. The local rules, official steps and paperwork can be hard to handle alone.

How it works

The exact steps depend on the reason for the transfer, but they usually go like this:

• First talk: the lawyer learns about your goals and the property.
• Property check: the lawyer makes sure there are no debts or legal problems that could block the transfer.
• Documents: all papers are prepared and checked, including any sale contract and payment details.
• Notary: a meeting is arranged with a notary, a public officer who makes the new deed official, and the deed is signed.
• Payments: any money involved is handled safely and correctly.
• Registration: the new deed goes to the Land Registry, the official record of who owns property, so the new owner is recorded.
• Afterwards: help with any remaining tasks.

Why it helps

An English-speaking lawyer explains everything clearly, deals with the paperwork and officials for you, and helps avoid risks and problems later.
