Lexidy’s legal team across Europe will dedicate their focus to understanding your unique situation and propose solutions that are best for you and your investment. Sometimes, the real estate purchase is pursued for another purpose, such as a Golden Visa. Our team will help you understand which Golden Visa and investment program best suits your needs. Others have moved to a new country and are considering permanent residency, and wish to have their own place in their new home.

 

Our team of Real Estate experts and lawyers will walk you through the process of buying a home and how to avoid the common pitfalls as well as the quirks of the marketplace. We’ll explain how Spain’s Arras works and why you need a well-drafted CPCV in Portugal. We’ll also help you with our analysis of the marketplace so your new commercial property is well-priced and will deliver a return on investment.

The process of buying real estate

What do you want to buy?
Europe is an attractive market for global real estate investors. Investment decisions are protected by rule of law at national and EU level and the market has stable yields or capital gains, depending on the asset you are seeking. Moreover, Europe has something for everybody, whether it’s a Commercial Yachting business in Greece to capitalize on its 227 islands, or a city apartment in Paris for rental income or even a new home on the Spanish coast for retirees seeking a Golden Visa.Once you have decided on the type of asset and where you want to buy it, our legal team of real estate lawyers will ensure that the property is right for you by analyzing your situation and performing due diligence to ensure the investment is proper.
1
Understand the costs and taxes
With a location, purpose and asset confirmed, our real estate team will calculate the fees and taxes that are due. These are usually paid by the buyer and vary from country to country as well as from region to region. Typically, there will be a down payment of 10% to secure the property. This is called an Arras in Spain or CPCV in Portugal, however, in both of those markets, if one of the parties withdraws from then they forfeit the down payment or have to pay double the amount.Beyond that there are notary costs, land registration fees, legal fees and property transfer taxes, which vary on how modern the real estate asset is.
2
Power of attorney
For some investors, regularly traveling to Europe to sign documentation, meet notaries or open bank accounts is time consuming and expensive. It’s simpler and more affordable to appoint a lawyer as Power of Attorney to act on your behalf when conducting the transaction and handling the bureaucracy. The terms and duration of the Power of Attorney are defined by the client, so this will always ensure that the legal representative will always act in the best interest of the investor.
3
Submit and file your visa application
Our English-speaking real estate lawyers will work with our immigration experts to prepare any documentation required for visas via investment. Many ex-pats who buy real estate in Europe do so in order to get a Golden Visa, which is a very attractive residence permit. We will drive you through unfamiliar processes like getting sworn translations, legalization of documents, apostille stamps and meeting Public Notaries. The team at Lexidy LegalTech Boutique has vast experience in mastering these steps and is here to handle visas via investment application. The team will also work closely with the tax team to ensure that you benefit from Europe’s range of special tax regimes, which offer low tax rates to foreigners.
4
Have fun
With your visa in your passport and keys to your new property in your hands, the world is your oyster. The final step is to embrace your new life and have fun. We’ll touch base with you once in a while to ensure that your stay in Europe is going exactly how you planned. Sometimes the unexpected arises and we’re here to ensure that you’re not lost in translation for things like taxes, visa renewals or whatever may arise. Enjoy the ride.

A great law firm that covers anything an expat might need. I needed help with real estate initially, and they also helped me with immigration, taxes, and corporate legal matters. Fantastic people to work with. Alejandro from their real estate and immigration department is my main contact and he is an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

I had an issue with an incorporation and I had to request a refund for my order. It took a little longer to get the refund but the CEO took personal care of my case and issued the refund as soon as it heard about the case. Very serious and responsible company.

I used Lexidy services to apply for SETR status.I did it after contacting a number of providers, but Lexidy were the only ones that consistently kept regular communication, promptly answered e-mails, kept all the appointments. Something that is a normal expectation but rarely met in Spain :).In addition they were very competent, provided clear and accurate advice. They also flexible and accommodating and Sara Rinaldi that i dealt with is a very pleasant person to deal with.It seems it is a business that have a clear business model of providing good quality service and as such I think it deserves to be promoted.

Lexidy Law Boutique supported us on our recent home purchase in Portugal. It was a long process, but our lawyer, Pedro Saldahna was with us every step of the way. He guided us through the process and even helped with our builder, our estate agent and our mortgage company. The entire Lexidy team has been super supportive throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!

We contacted Lexidy Law boutique when we recently moved from Cyprus to open a new chapter in our lives to move into a house in Brittany that we had bought 12 years previously. We had underestimated the twists and turns involved in obtaining residency in France - so we contacted Lexidy Law Boutique and were assigned Eleonore, an immigration lawyer well acquainted with French immigration laws. From the very beginning we realised she was determined that we should have a successful outcome and she guided us expertly to avoid all the pitfalls in the process of applying for residency. She even accompanied us to the prefecture and ensured that everything went smoothly - without her presence we might well have not succeeded.We thank and highly recommend Eleonore and Lexidy Law Boutique.

The Lexidy team is uniquely positioned to provide pan-European business and tax advisory services; what would be complex or impossible for a country-specific advisor is straightforward for Lexidy. They answered in days what would take weeks for other firms.

Lexidy has been a lifesaver. The entire team has helped us so much on different matters both personal and corporate. Isabel in correcting an error by a previous accountant that was costing us an extra €1000 every month in social security payments! Jose with various matters and tax advice. Diego in helping us get documents notarized in Valencia even though he is based in Madrid. I cannot recommend them enough!

I’ve dealt with hundreds of solicitors through business over the years but I must say Cristina and Lexidy Law are really something special. Responsiveness, proactiveness, knowledge and professionalism is, quite frankly, outstanding.M.

Update: While all of the initial responses were pretty quick, they started getting busy, so I had to constantly follow up. We have since sought assistance elsewhere.My husband and I plan to move from the USA to Porto, Portugal in the spring/early summer of 2023. We didn't know where to start or what to expect. I searched online and found Lexidy Law Boutique. Their website is intuitive, informative and inviting. I emailed the office and Lidiane responded within a few hours. Based on the information in my email, she emailed us appropriate information on our situation. She was very professional and offered to set up a web call if we wanted to. We ended up having our web call today and will be starting our journey of becoming Portuguese citizens. She informed us of the first steps, all of the documentation we need and what the law firm can do for us. Right after our call, she emailed us detailed information regarding pricing and what is entailed in that pricing. So far, the beginning of our journey is a positive one.

I contacted this company regarding a Labour dispute with a former employer. I quickly got an honest response that according to Spanish Labour laws, nothing could really be done anymore. Impressed with their swift, direct and honest opinion, I explained this was a very unusual case and would like to hire their services. Again I got a swift and direct answer that they did not deal with those kind of cases. Rather than milking a client, they showed admirable integrity by turning down the case…. a rare quality these days. My compliments.
