How Property-Lawyers.com Connects Buyers, Owners, Estate Agents and Property Lawyers
Short answer: Property-Lawyers.com is a directory of independent, property-specialised lawyers in Spain and Portugal. Buyers and owners use it to compare firms by area and language; estate agents use it to point their clients to independent legal advice; and law firms join to reach international clients. Property-Lawyers.com does not give legal advice itself: you agree the service directly with the firm you choose.
For buyers and sellers
Buying or selling a property in Spain is one of the most significant financial decisions you will make. Choosing the right lawyer matters as much as choosing the property.
- Search by area: find firms that work where you are buying or selling, from Mallorca and Ibiza to Marbella, Barcelona, Madrid and Portugal.
- Compare profiles: languages spoken, areas of practice and experience with international clients.
- Contact directly: ask for availability and a written fee quote, and agree the scope with the firm.
- Learn first: our buying guides explain the process, taxes and checks so you can ask the right questions.

For estate agents
Agents work best with buyers who are well advised. Pointing clients to independent lawyers protects the transaction and the agent’s reputation. Member firms can support agents in four areas:
| Area | What it involves |
|---|---|
| Legal knowledge | Updates on changes in property, tax and rental law that affect listings and clients |
| Client content | Legal articles that agents can share in newsletters to buyers and sellers |
| Training | Webinars and presentations for agency teams |
| Anti-money-laundering | Guidance on identification and source-of-funds requirements in property transactions |
The lawyer must remain independent and act only for their own client. Referral relationships should be transparent to buyers and sellers.
For law firms
Firms specialised in property law can join the directory to reach international buyers and owners searching for advice in their area. Members receive a profile page, can publish articles and appear in the relevant regional directories. Find out more on our partners page or about websites for law firms.
