Owners' associations, real estate law and the taxation of your transactions

Property problems rarely come alone. A sale has legal and tax implications; an inheritance may end in a sale; an owner in arrears often creates tension at the owners' meeting. That is why we work in two complementary specialities: owners' associations and real estate law, and the taxation of property transactions.

Whether you are a property manager, the president or one of the owners, these are the most common services:

• Some neighbours are not paying: recovery of unpaid community fees.
• You disagree with a decision of the meeting, or the community has been sued: challenging resolutions.
• A difficult meeting is coming up or the bylaws need updating: meetings, minutes and bylaws.

• You let a home or have a tenant who is not paying: leases, evictions and rent.
• You are about to buy or sell: legal assistance with purchases and sales.
• You have a dispute with a neighbour or the other party to a contract: real estate litigation.

• You are selling, inheriting or gifting a property: municipal capital gains tax and inheritance and gift tax.
• You are buying a resale home or a new build: ITP and AJD.
• You have sold and need to declare it: income tax on property sales.
• The seller lives outside Spain: property sales by non-residents.
• The transaction still needs to be registered: Land Registry.

In Catalonia, multi-owner buildings are governed by the Catalan Civil Code, and ITP, AJD and inheritance and gift tax are managed by the Catalan Tax Agency. Working within this specific framework every day is what allows us to guide each matter from the first consultation. If you are not sure which service fits your case, tell us about it and we will let you know.
