Hi everyone,

Apologies if this is a recurring theme post on here - but myself and a friend need to change our solicitors as the ones we have are proving useless in the current uncertain climate. We need a solicitor that has good spoken English ( who will actually take your calls) and who you can recommend to go the extra mile - particularly as we are stuck in the middle of a crisis situation. If you had an exceptional service with one - can you please let me know as we are at the  end of tether here! Anyone in the Costa Del Sol area would be great.

Thank you in anticipation..

ML

Hi we used a Spanish solicitor but speaks good English and his secretary is English 

His name is Estaban Arriaga 

952 462 546

Email is [email protected]

He was reasonably priced around 1% but he did it slightly less. Usually responds quite quick and he is on wassap also. 

Regards Tracy

Thanks for the recommendation - i assume this was for a property sale rather than purchase?

Hi we were buying but our sellers used him also as he did a slightly better deal on the rate. We did buy over the summer time so things were a little slower but that was mainly due to a lot of places being closed for the summer.

Hi Michael 

No but he found the notary for us and sorted it all out . He actually had power of attorney for us as we live and work in The Middle East and couldn’t get back for completion . We used his services again to make a Will last year .   

Best of luck
