Marbella features luxury properties, international buyers, and specific urban planning regulations that create unique legal considerations requiring specialized knowledge.
While not legally required, having a specialized lawyer is highly recommended due to transaction complexities and local regulations, especially for foreign buyers.
Foreign buyers should focus on obtaining an NIE number, understanding non-resident taxes, verifying planning status, and ensuring all licenses are in place, particularly for exclusive or coastal properties.
We provide complete support from identifying qualifying Marbella properties to preparing all documentation, handling both the property purchase and residence application process.
Property purchases involve Transfer Tax (ITP) or VAT plus Stamp Duty for new properties, potential Wealth Tax, annual Non-Resident Income Tax, and local Property Tax (IBI). Our specialists will optimize your tax position legally.
Most real estate lawyers in Marbella charge around 1% of the purchase price, or a fixed fee depending on the transaction. At Mael Abogados you receive a clear written quote before we start — no surprises at the notary. Contact us for a free initial assessment of your case.
