Property in spain

Hi,

I am new to all this. Could anybody tell me how I can find out who owns property in Spain?

I have seen a few I would like to talk to owners about. How do you go about that?

Thanks in advance for all the help you can give.

Cheers,

Bernie

You'll need to go to the relevant land registry and get a nota simple.  You'll need the address of the property (which can be difficult if it's out in the countryside).  The nota simple is a cut down version of the escritura so will give you other info as well such as whether there are any charges against the property - mortgages etc. Cost is minimal - just a few euros.  You'll need to be able to speak Spanish in most areas - or take someone with you who speaks Spanish.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thank you for all your help.

Can this be done from the UK? By letter form or email?

Cheers,

Hi

The land registry won't answer questions by email or letter.  Which area are you looking in?  I might be able to recommend someone who can do it for you for a small fee if you are in the Malaga region.

Hi,

It is Malaga itself.

Could you please find out how much the fee would be and how I could pay it.

Paypal, moneygram ?

Many , many thanks for your help. It is really appricated.

Cheers,

Bernie
