About the notary and the land registry

We are in charge of withdrawing your purchase title deed from the notary. When the purchase is attached to a mortgage, then the bank will withdraw it and take care of the corresponding procedures.

Once the invoice is issued, for your comfort, we will use the power of attorney (POA) to pay it directly from your bank account in Spain.

It is a public administration in charge of officially registering the property in your name.

The registration legitimately confirms that the property is yours.

Once the property is registered, the administration will issue an invoice to withdraw the title deed. Once the invoice is issued, for your comfort, we will use the POA to pay it directly from your bank account in Spain.

Once we send the email providing all the documentation, taxes, contracts, and other procedures, our work will be finished.
