At De la Fuente & Martín Alonso, we provide comprehensive legal advice to all participants in the real estate market, from private investors to developers and construction companies, as well as lenders financing such transactions. A significant part of our practice is devoted to advising investment funds from various jurisdictions on the management of their real estate portfolios and on the structuring, negotiation and completion of real estate acquisitions and disposals.

Our lawyers are distinguished not only by their strong command of contract law and extensive experience in real estate investment matters, but also by their in-depth understanding of the administrative, tax and urban planning regimes applicable in each of the markets in which De la Fuente & Martín Alonso operates.

Our presence in a number of strategic locations with high real estate value in Europe — including Ibiza, Palma, Rotterdam, Málaga, Marbella and Madrid — as well as in Asia, through our representative office in Singapore, is also of particular relevance.

At the preliminary stages of each transaction, we conduct a detailed review of all planning, land registry and title matters, together with any other legal issues relevant to completing the transaction with the highest degree of legal certainty for our client. Our partners are actively involved throughout the review and preparation of transaction documents and in the negotiation of each contractual provision, always with a view to safeguarding our client’s interests. Our role, however, does not end upon execution. We also assist clients in the execution of notarial deeds and provide comprehensive post-closing advice in relation to any issue, dispute or query that may subsequently arise and, where required, represent them in court proceedings.

Our services include, among others:

• Legal due diligence
• Drafting of all types of real estate agreements
• Urban planning feasibility reports
• Personalised assistance with notarial deeds and land registry formalities
• Tax planning of the transaction
• Resolution of contractual and non-contractual disputes
• Representation in matters involving developer or contractor liability
