Common conveyancing questions.
What is the difference between "conveyancing solicitor" and "property lawyer"?
In the UK, a "solicitor" is a specific regulatory title held by lawyers admitted by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). In Spain, there is no equivalent — a Spanish lawyer is an "abogado" registered at a provincial bar. When British buyers search for a "conveyancing solicitor in Manilva" they generally mean an English-speaking lawyer who handles Spanish property purchases — which is what we do.
Should I use a UK solicitor or a Spanish one?
A Spanish one. A UK solicitor is not qualified to advise on Spanish property law, and if you hire one they will instruct a Spanish lawyer on your behalf — you pay both, and the Spanish lawyer is the one doing the work anyway. Cut the middleman.
Do you offer no-completion, no-fee?
For straightforward resale purchases: yes, if the reason for non-completion is a defect we should have caught. If the buyer changes mind, the fee for work done is still due (typically 40-60% of the fixed fee depending on stage reached). Full terms are in the engagement letter.
