Sotogrande is in Andalusia — with its own 99% inheritance tax reduction, ITP rates and Junta de Andalucía regulatory framework.
Andalusia applies a 99% reduction on inheritance tax for Group I and II beneficiaries (spouses, children, parents, direct descendants) on estates up to €1 million per beneficiary.
ITP on resale property in Andalusia is 7% — the lowest major-region rate in southern Spain.
Non-resident owners have annual filing obligations on their Spanish property.
Holiday letting in Andalusia requires a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence. Sotogrande and other Costa del Sol municipalities have specific rules on eligibility.
Most of our Sotogrande 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 Sotogrande affairs stay compliant year after year.
The old way of instructing a lawyer in Sotogrande 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.
