Independent English-speaking lawyers for international clients across the Comunidad Valenciana — Valencia province and the Costa Blanca — covering property, conveyancing, new build and off-plan, visas, tax, wills, inheritance, NIE, Power of Attorney and cross-border legal support.
We act for buyers, sellers, investors, retirees, relocating families and non-resident owners across Valencia city and province and the Costa Blanca (Alicante) — with the correct Valencian tax handling.
Speak to an independent English-speaking lawyer before you sign, pay a deposit or commit. The notary does not act for the buyer — independent legal review is your protection.
The Comunidad Valenciana spans Valencia city and province and the Costa Blanca (Alicante) — from city apartments to coastal villas, golf and resort communities and new-build corridors. Our role is to give international clients independent legal advice in plain English before they sign, pay a deposit or commit.

Valencia-region files often involve issues a buyer never sees without independent review:
The notary does not act for the buyer. Independent legal review is what confirms whether the property is safe to buy and whether it fits your plan.
Book a Pre-Purchase ReviewWe handle the full purchase process for international buyers:
For resident and non-resident sellers: the 3% non-resident retention, capital gains tax, plusvalía, community certificate, mortgage cancellation and notary completion — remotely under Power of Attorney where needed.
We review the developer contract, payment schedule, bank guarantees (Law 38/1999), building and first-occupation licences, snagging and the IVA + AJD position before any money changes hands.
Property in Valencia and the Costa Blanca is in the Comunidad Valenciana, which sets its own transfer-tax rate:
Valencian ITP has been subject to change — the general rate is 9% for properties up to €1M and 11% above €1M, effective 1 June 2026. We confirm the exact rate for your purchase.
New build is taxed instead at 10% IVA + AJD 1.4% — not ITP.
Owners file annual Modelo 210, plus quarterly returns on rental income.
On any purchase we set out the full figure in writing — with the current rate — before you commit.
Many Valencia-region buyers also need immigration support. We coordinate the property purchase with the residency and tax side:
For non-working residents living on savings or pensions. See our NLV service.
For remote workers and the self-employed. See our DNV service.
The NIE, residence card and town-hall registration for new residents.
Spanish tax-residency planning and a Spanish will, set up alongside the purchase.
On any Valencian purchase: who is your lawyer actually working for?
We are an independent law firm — not owned by, tied to, or operated by any estate agency. We act for you.
On new build the developer’s legal team represents the developer. We review their paperwork on your behalf.
We act for buyer or seller — never both sides of the same transaction.
We routinely complete under bilingual notarised Power of Attorney.
One firm for conveyancing, tax and residency — handled as a single workflow.
Every step explained clearly, with the scope agreed in writing before we start.
The Comunidad Valenciana spans three provinces — Valencia, Alicante (the Costa Blanca) and Castellón. We act across Valencia city and province and the full Costa Blanca, all under the same Valencian tax rules.
Property here is in the Comunidad Valenciana. Resale is taxed by transfer tax (ITP) and new build by IVA plus AJD. The Valencian resale ITP rate has been subject to change — the general rate is 9% for properties up to €1M and 11% above €1M, effective 1 June 2026 — so the exact rate should be confirmed for your specific purchase before completion.
