Hi there folks,
I have been reading some of the articles on Novo Arcos, and one problem seems to be that some of the buyers have not been happy using the lawyer that Sunset Estates have recommended. I have used a lawyer that was recommended by several buyers guides on the internet, to use a firm of soliciors that were slightly different. They are a firm of lawyers with a lawyer who is a lawyer qualified and a member of the law society in England and Wales, and he works with a Spanish solicitor in Spain. I have found them to be very good, as the english lawyer, Des Sparkes, helps make the communication easier as he is a qualified lawyer in the UK.
I purchased a property in Novo Arcos, and have used these lawyers and they have found no problems with my purchase in Spain. They have both looked into the transmission tax, and have informed me that i do not have to pay a transmission tax, as Sunset Estates have paid the addittional tax when they did the contracts which means that this transmission tax has been avoided.
