For me it was a great pleaseure to liase with the Legal Office. I am based in Hungary and the Legal Firm was kind enough to explain a whole Spanish procedure that I was not aware of in a very-very detailed manner, giving very deep explanations to all of my questions. I was very surprised – in a very positive way – to receive such a professional and very-very kind feedback without any fees. Happy that I could at all get to know this Legal Firm. I would really recommend their services.

We have been Ramon’s clients through several different types of transactions (house-buying, last will and testament, etc.) and every time we work with him, we are so grateful for his expertise. Not only is Ramon reliable and professional, but he really takes time to simplify and explain these often daunting bureaucratic processes. He speaks excellent English, which is a relief for those of us who aren’t versed in legal Spanish. He is worldly and understands the perspective of foreigners like us, which makes us feel very comfortable and in able hands. We will continue to work with Ramon for any and all complicated legal transactions in Spain and would recommend him to anyone needing the assistance of a lawyer.

My wife and I bought a property in Asturias in 2022. When we contacted Ramon, we had 3 properties on our shortlist. Ramon was able to clearly explain the pros and cons of each property so we could make an informed decision. During the negotiation and purchase Ramon was very professional, communicated on our behalf with the relevant parties and made sure we understood the process and taxes. We also found Ramons´fees very good value and would highly recommend his services.

I found Ramon on an internet search when I was looking for inheritance tax advice. I asked a question and unlike the other lawyers that I found online, he came back to me in a timely manner and answered my question. I was initially a little wary to use him as he was a long away away from me and I thought that I would have needed to have met face to face. As I asked more questions it became clear that Ramon knew what he was talking about and so I asked him to deal with the inheritance taxes I had to pay. I was surprised that I had to pay him for his work before it was done, certainly something that you would not get in the UK, again I was concerned that having paid him by bank transfer, he would disappear with my money. He didn’t and carried on the work and submitting the relevant paperwork to the Spanish authorities.There was a lot of scanning and sending of documents required and even though the tax is all submitted and paid there is still a chance that at the eleventh hour the tax authorities will come back wanting more information or money. I have confidence that Ramon will deal with this if the need arises in the future.
