As we saw a few days ago, the decision to buy a property is something that is worth investing time in and should be taken very seriously.
Believe us, over the more than 30 years that MAM Solicitors has been in business, we have seen many cases of clients making a more impulsive purchase, without knowing the paperwork or the taxes that need to be dealt with after the purchase and they have found themselves in serious trouble.
That is why we always insist on the importance of having lawyers specialised in the real estate market, and even more so in the local real estate sector, in order to be able to carry out the procedures in the best way and with the best advice.
To this, we add a doubt or concern that many of our foreign clients often express to us and that revolves around the management or care of their property in Spain, both physically and everything related to payments, if they reside in another country.
This doubt or concern is what has given rise to our ‘Sweet Home’ service that allows you to enjoy the greatest peace of mind in your country and that the thought of travelling to your home in Spain is only a reason to rejoice.
Take note!
What is MAM Solicitors’ exclusive “Sweet Home” service for clients?
The ‘Sweet Home’ service was created to respond to the needs of many of our clients who, despite owning a property in Spain, do not live here on a regular basis.
Throughout our experience in the sector, we have understood how complex it can be for a foreign person not only the process of buying a property between the language and the complexity of our administrative system, but also how complex it is to take care, so to speak, of the property on a constant basis and the needs that this entails.
Our service ‘Sweet Home’ is the help for all of them, so that they can enjoy their day to day life without their home in Spain becoming a real headache rather than a source of happiness.
Sweet Home is divided into 3 main areas from where we respond and help our clients in their needs:
- MAM Sweet Home Tax:
We must understand that foreigners with one, or more than one, property in Spain have a tax regime to comply with.
In this respect, taxation is a complex issue in Spain and can be misleading or confusing. For example, Spanish law stipulates that all non-resident owners are obliged to pay certain taxes in our country with the difficulties that this often entails.
However, there are taxes such as capital gains tax when acquiring a property which depends on the community where the property is located.
If this is the case, we recommend those residents in Spain to enquire about our services to find out how MAM Solicitor can help them manage their tax obligations.
- MAM Sweet Home Legal:
MAM Solicitors can also provide guidance or advice on legal issues that may affect you during your stay in Spain or your property through our ‘Sweet Home’ service.
For example, on legal documents, registered letters or legal notices you may receive. We also provide you with initial advice to guide you on legal matters that may affect you, such as a traffic accident, crimes or misdemeanours you have committed in Spain or in which you have been involved or legal contracts.
- MAM Sweet Home Utilities:
A necessary aspect when we have a home is the contracting of all the necessary utilities, be it gas, electricity, water, etc. ….
At MAM Solicitors we can help you set up the contracts with the service providers and all the paperwork involved.
Also, of course, in the event of a possible cut-off in the event of non-payment or due to an incident for which the supplier is responsible.
In addition, we take care of keeping up to date with all the legal changes that may affect any of these supplies so that there are never any unforeseen events for our clients.
Thinking of buying a property in Spain from abroad? Let us take care of it.
At MAM Solicitors we not only have experience in the real estate sector, in the buying and selling of properties and all the legal and fiscal aspects that surround it.

Furthermore, at MAM Solicitors we have a multilingual team so that we will be in constant communication and accessible to our clients whenever necessary.
