STAGES TO FOLLOW FOR THE PURCHASERS

1.

This stage is optional, although our offices of solicitors in Spain recommend that our clients commission this report, given the large amounts of money that are involved.


2. The team of lawyers in Alicante responsable for your case search the Land Registry to find out what the legal situation of the property is, in order to verify whether or not it is encumbered, and if there are any facilities or difficulties attached to its purchase.
