To answer the original question, solicitors normally charge about 1% of the purchase value. Last time we bought our solicitors charged 0.9%.
I thought that was quite a lot at €1,700 (about 13 years ago).

I'm no friend of the original poster. And you're talking total garbage Simon Sadler.
A gestor rather than "gesture" (holy smoke!) is NOT a lawyer. They're ACCOUNTANTS who sometimes have a MINOR qualification to work in the real estate field shuffling papers.
If you paid €300 and there were no post-purchase legal ramifications, you were one of the lucky ones.
I've been in real estate in Spain for nearly 30 years and if you buy without using a fully-qualified ABOGADO, rather than a "gesture"...
Then you need your head examined.
You wouldn't buy a property in the UK without a lawyer -- why in god's name would you buy in Spain without one???
