Over recent years more and more people have been buying a second home in the sunnier climates of Spain or even moving there lock stock and barrel. Now a solicitor in Newport is using her legal expertise to help people buy their dream home.

Milagros Milanés of Harding Evans is qualified as a solicitor in Spanish and English law and is providing a dedicated, cost effective service to a growing client base who are buying property in Spain.

She deals with every aspect of the conveyancing process including dealing with Spanish agents, local notaries and vendors. As “Millie” is fluent in Spanish and English clients have found the whole process cost effective and much less worrying.

Millie comments “We deliver a very professional and personal service, and our clients have said how efficient the process has been as a result of dealing with one solicitor who handles every aspect. When buying a house abroad one of the most important aspects to consider is choosing a solicitor with the right expertise and who can also assist with other related matters”.

Millie has also advised clients on such related matters including the advantages/disadvantages of taking out a Spanish or British mortgage, type of ownership problems that may arise, probate issues, preparing Spanish wills, Spanish residency law, the health care system, as well as transfer of utilities.

Zep Bellavia, Managing Partner of Harding Evans comments “Over the last six months we have noticed a steady increase in the number of clients using our Spanish conveyancing service. Millie has great expertise in this area and we are delighted with the service she delivers to her clients”.
