Is this the right check for me?
It is for buyers who have found a particular property in the Canary Islands and want to understand its documents before paying a deposit. Still choosing an island or area? Start with the free guides.
What should I check before paying a deposit?
Make sure the paperwork is for the right property. Ask who will receive your money and what you are agreeing to. Have your lawyer review the agreement before you sign or pay.
Read the guide →Can I just get the property documents myself?
Yes. You can order a nota simple, the Spanish Land Registry summary, directly. Our check is intended to explain the documents together and point out questions to follow up. If you only need the summary, you may not need this service.
Read the guide →What if a document is missing?
We tell you what is missing and which questions we cannot answer. A missing document is not a reason to give the property an all-clear. We agree how to handle missing documents before you pay.
Will this tell me if I can rent to holiday guests?
No. That needs a separate check of the property and your plans. A holiday-rental sign or the seller’s existing permission is not enough to answer that question for you.
Read the guide →I already have a lawyer. Do I need this too?
Ask whether your lawyer already checks and explains these documents. If that work is included, you may not need to pay for a second check.
Who will prepare my report?
We will name the person and explain their role before you book. That appointment is still being confirmed for this preview. Legal advice from GLEX & CO has its own fee and is not included in the Property Check.
I have already paid a deposit, or must sign soon. What now?
Tell your lawyer about the deadline. Send them the agreement and any proof of payment. Do not wait for a general report when you need advice on your next legal step.
