Polish Lawyer and Accountant
Using the services of a lawyer in Spain can be crucial when purchasing real estate for those who want to avoid potential legal issues. Our real estate office works with several law firms or lawyers, including Polish-speaking lawyers authorized in Spain.
From experience, we know that using the services of lawyers or legal advisors who operate in Poland but lack experience and authorization in Spain is pointless and can only complicate the entire process of purchasing real estate or obtaining a loan.
If you want to hire a lawyer, hire one with authorization and experience in Spain.
Depending on the scope of services, a lawyer can handle the entire process on behalf of the client related to:
signing the preliminary agreement
obtaining an NIE number
opening a bank account
setting up a bank account
insuring the property
transferring ownership
arranging or connecting all utilities
submitting reports to the relevant offices
or making the actual entry in the land registry
The scope of tasks and thus the lawyer's fee depends on individual arrangements between both parties. Sometimes, if agreed upon, the lawyer's role is limited to reviewing the reservation, preliminary, or transfer of ownership agreements.
A key area is also tax matters, which in Spain are different from those in Poland. In addition to the typical IB tax or garbage fees, which are automatically collected from the owner's personal account, there are numerous tax and legal obligations. One of these, for non-residents, is the annual payment of tax and INRR using the Modelo 200 form. If you need to register a business, a branch, or a new company, manage accounting for a business or company, obtain documents, or even defer VAT payment, a Polish accountant can help you with this.
Given the lack of knowledge of the Spanish language and tax specialization, it is beneficial if our taxes and assistance in this area are handled by a Spanish-qualified accountant fluent in Polish. Our clients can use the services of a Polish accountant on the Costa Blanca.
