If you are purchasing a property through our company, Buy Spain Properties, and can not or do not wish to go to the Notary in person to complete the sale, then with powers of attorney, Phil, the company owner of Buy Spain Properties can do what is needed on your behalf.
If you have not chosen our Legal property service we do charge for this service, as there is more work to do, then purchasing a property in person with him in the Notary.
Below are the steps and process if you are not in Spain.
1. Phil will draft out a power of attorney in Spanish and English.
2. He will then find a Notary close to where you live in your country, and contact the Notary, to request their fees.
3. Phil will then email you to see if you agree with the Notary fees.
4. If you agree, he will send the draft of the powers of attorney to that Notary, and make an appointment for you to go and sign the powers of attorney in front of him.
5. The Notary will then send the powers of attorney to be legalized in Spain, and from there, the powers of attorney will be sent to Phil by DHL.
Please note that if you are in Spain, powers of attorney can be issued directly in a Spanish Notary, and will be quicker and cheaper than issuing powers of attorney in your country.
With the powers of attorney Phil will do the following:
Go to the Notary the day before to check that the official is preparing the purchase deed, if it is finished, he will request a copy, and call you, to translate what is in the deeds, and what he will be signing for on your behalf. If the deeds are not ready on this day, the call to you will be from the Notary on the day of signing.
On the day of completion, Phil will sign the deeds in front of the Notary, and afterwards go to the payment office, get the invoice for the Notary fees. He will then scan the invoice, and email you the invoice with payment instructions.
Once you have made the bank transfer to the Notaries bank account, you will email a copy to Phil, he will then print this document, and go to the Notary to show that the payment has been made, and also there and then, get them in the payment office to check the Notaries account to ensure that the money has actually arrived.
So, if you are purchasing a property through Buy Spain Properties and can not or do not wish to attend the signing in the Notary, for this completing the purchase of your Spanish property without attending in the Notary service, the cost is €100. Please note the cost for the issuing of the powers of attorney, legalization for use in Spain, and DHL courier costs are not included in our service fee.
