Agree the lawyer's scope and fee in writing. Independent legal review helps identify title, contract and investment-eligibility issues before payment.

How is the legal fee determined?

Ask for a written agreement specifying the work, charging basis, VAT and expenses. A fixed, hourly or percentage quote must clearly state what is included.

Which checks should I request?

Request ownership and encumbrance checks, contract review and assessment of the property's relevant Golden Visa conditions. Technical building checks should involve an appropriate engineer.

Are the notary and lawyer the same role?

No. Clarify who handles independent advice, the notarial contract, registration and immigration documents. Do not assume one fee covers every professional service.

What should I receive at completion?

Keep the signed contract, registration evidence, payment records and relevant legal and technical documents. Ask for a clear list of any outstanding actions.
