“We cannot thank Silvia Champagne from Sun Lawyers enough for all of her help and support through the purchase of our first property in Spain. We live in the UK and were naturally apprehensive, however we needn’t have worried as Silvia’s knowledge and experience quickly reassured us that we were in safe hands. Very friendly, professional and courteous every step of the way. We would highly recommend.” Scott Rainger

This law created uncertainty and long delays to the time it took to complete on a property purchase. It was a law which didn’t apply when Britain was an EU member and in many ways has been proven redundant. In today’s…

We receive enquiries regularly about residency permits for people wanting to live in Spain. We expect to receive more now that travel restrictions have been eased and hopefully there will be no reversal of that decision. In this blog we explore the residency options. Under the Withdrawal Agreement To make applications for a residency permit under the “Withdrawal Agreement” you will need to prove that you were living in Spain prior to the end of 2020 and normally this is…
