Independent English-speaking lawyers in Altea — the white village on the Costa Blanca North with a large Scandinavian community. Property, Spanish wills, NLV, DNV, non-resident tax. Fixed fees.
Altea is the iconic white-domed hilltop village on the northern Costa Blanca, known for its artists' quarter, its bohemian character and one of Spain's longest-established Scandinavian expat communities. Alongside the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish presence, Altea has strong British, Dutch, Belgian and German communities — attracted by the village atmosphere, the hillside villas, the old-town townhouses and the coastal apartments along Altea's promenade.

Altea is in the Valencian Community — with its own inheritance tax bonification, VUT holiday rental regime and historic urbanisation issues.
The Valencian Community applies a 99% inheritance tax bonification for Group I and II beneficiaries (spouses, children, parents, direct descendants) — meaning direct-family inheritances typically pay very little Spanish inheritance tax.
The Costa Blanca has historic planning issues that affect Altea property purchases — from legacy urbanisation problems to rural property legalisation.
Non-resident owners have annual Spanish filing obligations on their property.
Holiday letting in the Valencian Community is tightly regulated. Altea may restrict or pause new VUT licences.
Most of our Altea work is delivered remotely — a secure video call, a shared document portal, a named specialist, and fixed fees agreed in writing.
Book a 30-minute video call with a named specialist. We review your situation — property, visa, will or tax — confirm scope and quote a fixed fee up front.
You receive a written engagement letter and secure client-portal access. We collect the documents we need — passport, Nota Simple, energy certificate, financial proofs — all uploaded online.
We run due diligence on the property, draft your Spanish will, prepare your NLV / DNV pack, file Modelo 210 — or whatever the matter requires — with regular progress updates in English.
Where appropriate we act under a Power of Attorney so you don't need to travel. We arrange bilingual signing at the notary, the tax office, or your consulate of choice.
We complete at notary, settle taxes (AJD, ITP, IVA, Modelo 210, ISD), and register your purchase, will or inheritance at the Land Registry — with a full English file for your records.
We handle ongoing annual filings — Modelo 210, rental-income returns, digital certificate renewals — so your Altea affairs stay compliant year after year.
The old way of instructing a lawyer in Altea typically meant walking into a local office, hoping someone spoke adequate English, waiting weeks for updates and receiving an invoice at the end with no prior indication of what it would be.
Platinum Legal Spain was built differently. Every client has a named specialist, a written engagement letter, a fixed fee and a secure portal. We explain things in plain English, respond within 24 hours on working days, and keep the entire file documented so nothing falls through the cracks.
