Buying Property in Jávea

Legal guidance for international property buyers

Buying property in Jávea may involve purchasing an apartment, villa, permanent residence or holiday home.

Whatever type of property you choose, its legal and planning position should be investigated before you sign a contract or pay a substantial deposit.

At CC Lawyers, we provide independent legal representation throughout the purchase and help international clients understand the Spanish property buying process.

Legal Checks Before You Buy

Our due diligence may include:

  • Verifying the seller’s ownership.
  • Checking mortgages, debts and charges.
  • Reviewing Land Registry and Cadastral records.
  • Checking planning permissions and licences.
  • Verifying community fees.
  • Reviewing local property taxes.
  • Checking extensions, swimming pools or alterations.
  • Identifying restrictions affecting the property.

Villas and properties that have undergone renovations may require additional checks to confirm that their current condition corresponds with their legal documentation.

How We Help

Our lawyers can assist with:

  • Reviewing reservation agreements.
  • Carrying out property due diligence.
  • Reviewing and negotiating contracts.
  • Applying for an NIE.
  • Preparing a Power of Attorney.
  • Coordinating the notary signing.
  • Handling taxes and registration.

We keep you informed of any risks before you become contractually committed.

Buying a Villa or Detached Property

When buying a villa, the legal description of the land and buildings should be compared with the property as it currently exists.

Any extension, terrace, additional building or swimming pool should be checked to determine whether it has been properly authorised and registered.

Boundary, access and infrastructure matters may also require attention depending on the property.
