Is this the service you need?
You’re buying your first property in Spain as a non-resident, and you’ve been burned by conflicting advice.
You live abroad and need someone in Spain holding power of attorney, attending the notary, and translating the process.
You want the full fiscal picture before the arras — not after.
End-to-end, in ordered steps.
Discovery call
Thirty minutes, free. We map your situation, timing, and financing.
NIE application
Processed in parallel to viewings. Without NIE you cannot sign the arras.
Due diligence
Nota simple, community debts, planning compliance, tax charges on the property.
Arras / reservation
Contract reviewed line by line. Tax exposure in writing before you commit the deposit.
Bank account + utilities
Non-resident account opened. Utilities transferred in your name ahead of signing.
Notary signing
Attended by Sarah or a colleague with power of attorney. You can be anywhere in the world.
What you stop worrying about.
Surprise taxes appearing after signing.
Being the last person in the room to understand what the clause means.
Depending on an agent who also gets paid by the other side.
Paperwork bouncing between three advisors who don’t talk to each other.
Why Sarah, specifically, for this.
Twenty years reviewing other people’s purchase files from the inside of SUMA. I know the exact spots where the process breaks for foreigners — because those were the files that landed on my desk.
Quick answers.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer as well?
+
Legal and fiscal advice are coordinated in-house. If a third-party lawyer is preferred, I work alongside yours.
Can I sign without flying to Spain?
+
Yes, through a notarised power of attorney. This is standard for our clients.
When should I involve you in the process?
+
Before the arras. Once the arras is signed, some tax choices become irreversible.
Whatever stage you're at, let's talk.
