Sun Lawyers

Sun Lawyers is an English native speaking Spanish law firm with offices in Javea (Arenel) and in central Calpe. We have been helping people buy their dream Spanish home since 1985. Over 5,000 clients have brought Spanish property using our law firm,either a second home or to make Spain their permanent residence. Our friendly, knowledgeable and professional service is appreciated by clients for whom the language barrier and Spanish legal system can be sources of uncertainty and concern. We are independent lawyers, not tied to any property company and we are proud to be:

• Named Best Spanish Expat Law Firm in 2020. (AI Legal Awards)
• The lawyers with the largest number of offices across the Costa Blanca and Costa Calida.
• Providing not just an English speaking service, but also a service to people in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Scandinavian countries, Poland and Russia.

We provide an end-to-end legal service for clients buying a Property in Spain. Its starts with getting an NIE number and opening a bank account. Once you’ve found somewhere and had an offer accepted, we manage the conveyancing process through to the signing at the Notary when the property is then legally owned by you. If you choose to grant us Power of Attorney, a lot of the legal work can be progressed without you needing to shuttle between your country and Spain.

Post Brexit

Since Great Britain’s membership of the EU ended with the transition agreement expiring on 31 December 2020, the rules on living in Spain for Brits have changed. If you want to stay in Spain for more than 180 days a year you will need to apply for a visa. There are different types, although by far the most popular is the non-lucrative visa, which must be applied for from the Spanish Consulate prior to travelling to Spain. We can help with all visa applications.

Sun Lawyers does more than property law

For people who are owners of Spanish property and have other Spanish assets, we offer a full legal service, covering the following:

• Exchanging residency card/certificate for TIE
