The Marbella market

Marbella's most demanding property market deserves the right lawyer

Marbella is the most prestigious property market on the Costa del Sol, attracting buyers from across the world to its luxury villas, gated communities and beachfront apartments. With high values, frequent off-plan purchases and complex developments, the stakes — and the legal detail — are significant.

Our real estate lawyers act only for you, never for the agent or developer. We carry out thorough due diligence, scrutinise off-plan and luxury contracts, and make sure that on a transaction of this size, every euro and every clause is fully accounted for.

Our process

How a Marbella purchase works

Consultation & fixed fee

We review your purchase and agree a clear, fixed fee before any work begins.

Due diligence

We verify ownership, charges, licences and — for off-plan — the developer's guarantees and permissions.

Contracts

We review and negotiate reservation and private purchase contracts to protect your position and deposit.

Completion & registration

We complete at the notary (in person or by Power of Attorney), pay taxes and register the property in your name.

Good to know

Buying in Marbella — your questions

Do you handle off-plan purchases in Marbella?

Yes. Off-plan requires special care — we check the developer's licences, bank guarantees on your stage payments, the build specification and the completion deadlines, so your money is protected until the property is delivered and registered.

Are your fees higher because Marbella prices are high?

No. We work on fixed fees agreed in advance based on the work involved, not a percentage that balloons with the price. You know exactly what you will pay before we start.

Can you complete my Marbella purchase if I live abroad?

Yes. Through a Power of Attorney we can carry out due diligence, sign and complete at the notary on your behalf, so you do not need to be in Spain for every step.

Do you act for buyers in gated communities?

Yes. We review the community statutes, fees and any restrictions in developments across Marbella, Sierra Blanca and Nueva Andalucía so there are no surprises after completion.
