DON´T TAKE ANY RISKS…SEEK INDEPENDENT ADVICE!
Mansion House specializes in independent property conveyancing, in both coastal and inland areas. Those looking to invest should be aware that there are many risks involved in buying a property here in Spain unless due care is given.
When looking to purchase a property the only way to safeguard your investment is to make sure you follow this simple 4 step plan:

1. For an INDEPENDENT legal advisor to represent you. It may seem a very obvious piece of advice, but many people unfortunately fall for ´free´legal fees or estate agents recommendations regarding who to go to for legal advice and this often creates a situation whereby information is withheld so as not to stop the sale from going ahead. Mansion House does not work in conjunction with any estate agents, so we give honest and non-subjective information at all times.
2. for thorough searches to be carried out on the property in question, to detect any existing charges or future developments in the area which may affect views or even the value of the property.
Mansion House carries out extensive searches on the property, both at the Land Registry and the local Town hall.
3. for you to be able to understand and be able to question proceedings as well as the content of contracts. In a foreign country communication can be a major problem, at Mansion House all our staff speaks both English and Spanish fluently, and all legal documents can be translated into English.
4. Not to rush in. You may have just found the house of your dreams, but we advise you not to rush in and put a deposit down until some basic searches are done, as it can prove difficult to get your money back if there is a problem.
Mansion House is owned and managed by Deborah Mc Govern, a fully qualified conveyancer in Spain, with offices in both Fuengirola and Cartama, who works in conjunction with an in-house solicitor.
