Buying a house in Jerez
Just a note to recommend a couple of people. We have been looking for property for a few years and decided on Jerez a year ago. I had read some awful horror stories about buying in spain so did a lot of digging on line and tried to plan in advance as much as possible which was one of the reasons for joining this forum.
We exchanged on a property on monday this week using the spanish lawyer as power of attorney and we complete on Nov 8th. We viewed a property we offered on and within three days the lawyer and agent between them had answered all of our questions and concerns. We used a spanish firm of lawyers in jerez, all of whom speak excellent english and handle evertything from taxation, private litigation to property sales/purchases. The process has been simple and very straight forward and they have been a pleasure to deal with, efficient and very helpful. Just in case anyone needs any services they are Konsell Abogados y Asesores, SL in Jerez. The property purchase was done by Antonio Lara. They are also providing our wills immediately after the completion. The other person worth a mention was an estate agent Tony Martinez of Umbra Inmobiliaria in Jerez, I have a contact number if anyone needs it. I am not a fan of estate agents despite being in commercial and domestic property in the UK as my job. But he has been communicative and helpful and quite honestly not what I was expecting. I am staggered so far as to how helpful and efficient they have been making the whole process painless. Thoroughly recommend both of them. Steve
