While most foreign residents agree that life in Spain on a long-term basis is largely a rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable experience, it cannot be denied that foreigners buying property in the country have found themselves on occasion perplexed by Spanish bureaucracy.
The biggest danger of a situation in which the new resident remains ignorant of the various legal processes associated with moving to, and the process of buying a home in a new country, is that he or she can be led into paying for services and paperwork that is unauthorised and completely unnecessary.
As with all things, knowledge is power.
Fortunately there is now an easy way for foreigners to keep abreast of all the legal requirements involved with such mundane - but potentially troublesome - details as the difference between resident and non-resident bank accounts, the taxes payable on purchasing property and advice concerning Spanish wills.
Written and compiled by Raquel Perez, Director of Perez Legal Group, this invaluable 52-page FREE booklet contains all that you could possibly need to know about moving to Spain and buying a resale or off-plan property. The processes that foreigners will have to undergo in order to establish a legal and financial identity in their new country are not especially taxing, but a lack of knowledge can be counter-productive.
This guide, entitled Spanish Legal Property Information, can be downloaded free of charge from the company's website www.perezlegalgroup.es while hard copies can also be requested via post.
Raquel speaks perfect English, consequently the guide is written in a plain, unfussy, easy-to-read style that is free from the type of legal jargon that often confuses and is
off-putting to the uninitiated.
If you're thinking of moving to Spain or even if you are already here, this succinct and clearly written guide is the most important book that you will ever read.
