Tax & Consultancy. Services for Expats, Benijofar, Alicante. 


We would like to take this opportunity explaining our experience and the services provided by the above names company. 


Firstly, it’s so important to have an independent solicitor working for you who will act upon any legal, financial and language issues you may come across when living in Spain. 


Strong advice is that if you’re ever in a position moving homes, it’s recommended NOT to use the Estate Agents Solicitors. Not going into detail, it became apparent communication was very poor and paying costs were found to be much higher than they should be. However, the sales team were excellent. 


Now having concerns how our admin was going during the move, we made an appointment to see Manuel. 


At the meeting he explained very clearly everything about how important it is to have a good legal representation and he went through our concerns and background to define whether we were Tax residents or not at the time to sell our property, as initially we were told that we had to pay the 3% fiscal Spanish Tax on top of further Tax to get the move completed in Spain. 


Manuel, checked our records and told us we did not have to pay the 3% as the Estate Agent stated. A saving that was welcomed. 


Manuel further explained that he would be on pertinacity leave during our move, so he handed over his services to his colleague Begona.  


She dealt with the whole process, organised the sale and the purchase plus all the payments that had to be made professionally with always a smile on her face. Nothing was too much trouble. 


Begona then offered her further services taking on the POA in order to take the stress out from the move. This enable us to focus on the removal of our belongings from one property to another, saving us a further expense, whilst both transactions were signed at the Notary’s Office. 


We can’t thank Manuel, Begona and the team enough for working so hard to enable a stress free property move. 


We would fully recommend this company to anyone that may need any legal advice.
