Each month, we hope to offer you helpful and informative articles here to aid you in your time in Spain:
Over 70% of title deeds (escrituras) in the Valencia province are inaccurate.
“The most common errors were under-declaring purchase prices, which up until recent inspections and clamp-downs were common practice, also incorrect sizes for plots or constructions” says Victoria Wright, founding partner at ALBA who has spent years specializing in border disputes and land grab abuses.
“It may seem like small details but demarcation disputes can be long and protracted if not handled correctly, setting neighbours against each other and in some cases leading to avoidable property demolitions” quoted Ana Escobar the solicitor who handles ALBA’s court cases, from land disputes to personal injury claims & divorce.
“These errors can lead to large capital gains bills when selling your property” says Vicente, their accountant who covers all aspects of taxes including business management, ex-pat residency and pension tax advice.
What can you do to check if there is an error on your deeds? “Most errors can be corrected if dealt with properly” says Stuart Hepburn, founding partner, specialising in finance, inter-country inheritance and probate estate management.
He continues “For a start, we at ALBA offer to review your deed for FREE. Simply bring your documents to our offices, where they will be checked over by one of our experts. If errors are found, we will advise you of the correct course of action and quote for the work involved.”
