Buying and selling a home<\/strong> is a legal contract between two parties: the buyer and the seller.

In Spain, the process is regulated by the Civil Code and other specific regulations, so understanding each step is crucial to avoid legal complications.<\/p>\n

  2. Legal review of the property<\/strong>: Before finalizing any transaction, it is essential to ensure that the property is free of encumbrances, mortgages, or legal issues that could complicate the sale. This involves verifying the land registry<\/strong> and other legal documents to confirm that the seller has the legal capacity to sell the property.
