Buying a property in Spain as a foreigner?

It’s the question we get from nearly every client.

In this episode, Sandra is joined by Elena from Martínez-Echevarria, one of the top-ranked legal firms on the Costa del Sol, to reveal the risks buyers face when they try to navigate Spain’s property system alone.

If you're planning to buy in Spain, especially as a foreigner unfamiliar with Spanish law, language, or property practices - this conversation could save you time, stress, and thousands in legal headaches.

Here’s exactly what is covered:

• Do you legally need a lawyer to buy property in Spain or is it just a recommendation?
• What does a Spanish property lawyer actually do behind the scenes?
• Why are foreign buyers more exposed to hidden risks than locals?
• How a Lawyer supports with the reservation contract
• What’s your #1 piece of advice for someone just starting the buying journey in Spain?
