Exclusive protection for the buyer

Why get property legal advice for a purchase?

Buying a home is not just a financial transaction: it is a life decision that must be soundly built from a legal point of view.

At Hausum Legal we protect the buyer exclusively. We analyse the transaction before you sign, structure the contracts correctly and check that the property’s land registry, planning and tax situation matches what you are buying.

And if, once you have bought the home, a situation arises that could not have been known beforehand, we advise you and support you with the right legal strategy.

We are the legal layer of the Hausum model: technical certainty and legal certainty working in the same direction.

Before signing

Why do you need legal advice before signing the purchase of a property?

A property sale involves contracts, land registry charges, the planning situation, tax implications and mortgage financing. Each of these elements can affect the real value of what you are buying.

Signing without analysing the legal documents means taking on risks that are often not obvious when viewing the property or negotiating with the agency.

The deposit contract (contrato de arras), the land registry situation, possible planning restrictions or cadastral discrepancies can lead to future disputes if they are not properly reviewed before the transaction is formalised.

At Hausum Legal we review and structure the transaction from the outset so that you sign with legal certainty and a real understanding of what you are buying.

Fixed scope and price

What does our legal advice for property purchases include?

A complete service with a defined scope and a fixed price. No surprises, no hourly billing and no dependence on the type of home.

Review and drafting of reservation and deposit contracts (arras)

We analyse the agreed terms, detect risky clauses and, if necessary, propose changes to protect your interests before you sign.

Land registry, cadastral and planning due diligence

We check ownership, charges, encumbrances, the planning situation and consistency with the information used to market the property.

Tax analysis and coordination with your financing

We assess the tax implications of the transaction and review the legal aspects of the mortgage to avoid unbalanced commitments.

Support at the notary’s office

We are with you in the final stage so that the deed is signed with full legal certainty and without last-minute doubts.

The whole process is designed so that you reach the signing with full legal certainty. This service fits naturally with the Hausum technical inspection, coordinating the technical and legal analysis in a single purchase strategy. The entire service is provided for a single price, regardless of the type of home or the value of the transaction.

After the purchase

Protection against problems after the purchase

When significant defects appear after buying a home, it is essential to act quickly and with a well-defined strategy. Not every defect is legally a hidden defect: we analyse the technical and legal situation before taking any action.

1

Technical and legal analysis of the case

We study the sale documents, the contracts signed and the nature of the problem detected, arranging, if necessary, a technical analysis of the real extent of the defect.

2

Out-of-court claim

If there are sufficient grounds, we start a formal claim against the seller: legal demand letter, negotiation and a proposed solution.

3

Court claim (where appropriate)

If no agreement is reached, we assess filing a lawsuit: we define the litigation strategy, coordinate the technical evidence and defend your interests.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about claims after the purchase

Why should I book an inspection?

The average age of Spain’s resale housing stock is 43.5 years, and 60% of these homes were built without any energy efficiency regulations at all. Beyond detecting hidden defects, an inspection gives you objective information so you can make a well-judged decision.

How can I tell whether I can make a claim after buying a home?

Whether a claim is viable depends on several factors: the documents signed, the nature of the defect, when it was detected and the applicable legal framework. An initial study lets us assess whether there are sufficient legal grounds before you take on any costs.

What is the time limit for claiming hidden defects?

In certain cases, the general time limit may be 6 months from signing, although it can vary depending on the applicable legal framework and the circumstances of the case. Acting quickly is key so that you don’t lose the chance to claim.

Do I have to go to court?

Not necessarily. In many cases an out-of-court claim aimed at reaching an agreement is attempted first. Going to court is considered when negotiation is not viable, always after analysing the risks and costs.

Every situation is different. Before taking any action, we analyse the case with technical and legal judgement to determine the real options available.
