Real Estate Lawyer in Malaga
Lawyers specialising in Real Estate Law
Real estate is a complex and highly regulated sector that can present many legal challenges.
Whether you are looking to buy or sell a property, register it, make renovations, need to negotiate with a developer or resolve a dispute with a Community of Owners, it is important to have a lawyer specialising in real estate law who can help you resolve the legal issues that arise.
It is not easy to handle administrative issues related to the purchase contract, horizontal property, deadlines, documentation, etc. so, if you want to avoid problems such as delays in the transaction, loss of money or litigation, your best option is to consult a professional.
Real estate law: relevant aspects
Whether you are an owner and you are selling or intend to make renovations, or you are a buyer looking for a flat or premises, it is important that you know the most relevant aspects of the operation. Making a mistake here does not come cheap.
Buying and selling property
Together with the rental contract that we have already analysed, this is the main contract in the real estate sector in Spain and also in Malaga.
Taxes and deadlines
Taxation is a key factor when it comes to real estate transactions and getting it wrong can be very expensive.
Communities of Owners
The Horizontal Property has its own Law and is the origin of many problems of coexistence, which often end up in Court.
Rights and Obligations
If you are an owner, you must know how to defend the rights granted to you by the Law and comply with the obligations of all kinds that it entails.
Notary and Land Registry
In most operations, these two public bodies, with their own laws and specialities, have to intervene.
Works and reforms
There are major and minor alterations. And the obligations are different in each case.
How a lawyer can help you with real estate
A real estate lawyer is an expert in real estate law and can help with the complex legal and bureaucratic procedures that arise when you want to buy a house, make a major renovation, determine boundaries or legalise a property in a rural area.
To be more specific, a lawyer specialising in real estate law can help you:
- Reviewing and drafting contracts for the purchase and sale of real estate.
- Advise you on the deadlines and legal requirements for the transaction.
- Identify and resolve legal problems related to horizontal property.
- Advise you on the rights and obligations of property owners.
- Represent you in the event of real estate litigation.
What you need to know about real estate law
To initiate the relevant process, you will need to provide certain documentation:
- Documentation related to the real estate property, such as the purchase contract, title deeds, etc.
- Information on the contracting parties: identification, representation…
- Administrative documentation, such as licences, permits, taxes and fees.
- Other documentation related to your case.
At this point, your lawyer will review these documents, identify any potential problems and advise you on the next steps.
Time limits may vary depending on the nature of the case. For example, administrative law cases may take longer due to the need to interact with several public administrations.
However, an experienced lawyer can help speed up the process and ensure that all deadlines are met.

Questions you may have
How long does it take to buy a property?
Considering the Notary, the Land Registry, the Law for the Prevention of Money Laundering and taxes, it is normal for the whole process to take between 1 and 3 months.
In the event that there are problems to be solved because the property is VPO or there is an unregistered inheritance, then the period can be extended to another 3 months.
How much does the advice of a lawyer cost?
In this type of operation, as most of them do not have to go to Court and are resolved at the Notary’s office, the cost will not be high and it will always be worth it, because in relation to the cost of any mistakes that are made, you will always save money.
Depending on the difficulty and the formalities involved, it can cost between €300 and €1,200, as a guide.
How much does the intermediation of a real estate agency or API cost?
It usually costs between 3% and 6% of the sale price.
It is normally paid by the seller on the day of the sale, but it can be agreed to be paid half and half with the buyer.
What information do we need to have to prepare for the sale and purchase?
It looks like more than it is:
- The identification of the parties.
- The price, what it includes, and the method of payment.
- The essential characteristics of the dwelling and the building:
- Certificate or certificate of habitability.
- The useful and constructed surface area of the dwelling.
- Age of the building.
- Services and installations of the dwelling, both individual and communal.
- Energy efficiency certificate of the dwelling.
- Accessibility conditions of the dwelling and the building.
- Occupancy status of the property.
- Simple Registry Note.
- If it is VPO, its conditions.
- If it is protected, details of the protection.
