Sell with clarity, legal insight and a strategy built around you.

Selling a property is more than finding a buyer.

Before going to market, it is important to understand whether your property is properly prepared for sale, what issues could affect the transaction, how it should be positioned and what steps will be required from listing to completion.

I combine 30 years of legal experience with 7 years working directly in property sales and transactions, helping Spanish and international owners navigate the entire process in Sotogrande.

Independent advice. Local knowledge. Legal expertise.

[ REQUEST YOUR INITIAL PROPERTY SALE CHECK ]

BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR PROPERTY ON THE MARKET

A buyer's lawyer will examine your property carefully.

Why not do the same before the buyer arrives?

Problems involving ownership, registered areas, mortgages, inheritance, extensions, licences, taxation or documentation can emerge late in a transaction and delay — or sometimes jeopardise — a sale.

My approach is different.

I help you understand the property before we decide how to sell it.

Your initial Property Sale Check can consider:

• Ownership and title

• Land Registry information

• Existing mortgages or charges

• Property description and registered surface

• Extensions or alterations

• Co-ownership

• Inherited property

• Non-resident ownership

• Powers of attorney

• Documentation required for the sale

• Potential issues that should be addressed before marketing

The initial review is designed to identify areas that may require attention. Where detailed legal, tax or technical advice is required, this can then be addressed appropriately before proceeding.

[ CHECK IF YOUR PROPERTY IS READY TO SELL ]

A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO PROPERTY SALES

Traditional estate agency usually starts with one question:

“How much can we sell your property for?”

I prefer to start with several:

Is the property ready to sell?

Who is the most likely buyer?

How should it be positioned?

Should it be marketed publicly or privately?

What could create problems during due diligence?

What is the best strategy for this particular owner and this particular property?

Only then should we decide how to take the property to market.

PROPERTY SALE ADVICE BUILT AROUND THE OWNER

1. PROPERTY READINESS

We identify the documentation and any legal or practical issues that should be considered before marketing begins.

2. MARKET POSITIONING

We assess how the property should be presented and positioned within the Sotogrande market.

3. SALE STRATEGY

Public marketing, targeted international exposure, collaboration with selected agents or a discreet private sale can all be considered depending on the property and your circumstances.

4. BUYER QUALIFICATION & NEGOTIATION

Interest is not the same as a genuine buyer.

The objective is to focus on credible enquiries, protect your negotiating position and reduce unnecessary disruption.

5. TRANSACTION COORDINATION

From an accepted offer through reservation, due diligence, contracts and completion before the Notary, I remain involved throughout the transaction.

DO YOU LIVE OUTSIDE SPAIN?

You do not need to be in Sotogrande to manage the sale properly.

Many Sotogrande properties are owned by people whose main residence is outside Spain.

Selling from abroad can involve additional considerations such as:

• Powers of attorney

• Non-resident documentation

• Tax requirements

• Coordination with banks

• Obtaining certificates and property documents

• Signing arrangements

• Communication with the purchaser's lawyer

• Notarial completion

I can coordinate the process locally while keeping you informed throughout.

OWN A PROPERTY IN SOTOGRANDE BUT LIVE ABROAD?

[ DISCUSS YOUR PROPERTY WITH ME ]

INHERITED OR SHARED PROPERTY?

Some sales require more preparation than others.

You may have inherited a property.

There may be several owners.

One owner may live abroad.

The property may still be registered in the name of a deceased relative.

There may be differences between the physical property, the Land Registry and other documentation.

These situations do not necessarily prevent a sale, but they should ideally be identified and addressed before a buyer begins due diligence.

[ REQUEST AN INITIAL CONFIDENTIAL REVIEW ]

CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY SALES

Not every property needs to appear on every portal.

Some owners prefer discretion.

Depending on the property and circumstances, we can consider a more selective approach using direct introductions, professional contacts and collaboration with carefully chosen agents.

This may be appropriate where privacy is particularly important or where an owner wishes to test buyer interest before launching publicly.

WHY WORK WITH ME?

30 YEARS OF LEGAL EXPERIENCE

My professional background allows me to approach property transactions with a legal mindset as well as a commercial one.

7 YEARS IN PROPERTY SALES

I understand that successfully completing a transaction involves much more than legal documentation. Pricing, presentation, buyer psychology and negotiation also matter.

I LIVE IN SOTOGRANDE

This is the market in which I live and work.

INDEPENDENT APPROACH

My focus is the owner's transaction rather than simply obtaining another property listing.

ONE POINT OF CONTACT

I can remain involved from the first discussion about selling through to completion of the transaction.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE READY TO SELL

You may be planning to sell immediately.

You may be considering selling next year.

Or you may simply want to understand:

What is my property worth?

Is now the right time?

Is my documentation in order?

What would I need to do if I decided to sell?

An initial conversation does not commit you to putting your property on the market.

It simply gives you the information you need to make that decision properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to instruct you to sell my property after the Property Sale Check?

No. The purpose of the initial conversation is to understand your situation and identify the next sensible steps. There is no obligation to put the property on the market.

Can you help me if I live outside Spain?

Yes. A significant part of the transaction can normally be coordinated remotely, with appropriate arrangements made where signatures or representation in Spain are required.

Can you work with other estate agents?

Yes. Where appropriate, collaboration with selected local or international agents can form part of the sales strategy. The objective is to choose the distribution strategy that best suits the property rather than simply maximise the number of agents involved.

Can my property be marketed confidentially?

Potentially. Some properties are suitable for targeted or private marketing before, or instead of, appearing publicly on property portals.

What if there is a legal problem with the property?

Identifying potential problems early is precisely one of the reasons for reviewing the property before going to market. Depending on the issue, appropriate legal, tax or technical advice can then be obtained before a buyer's due diligence begins.
