I've gone through all the forums and can't find an answer.

We're moving to the Costa del Sol shortly. 

Is there a 'standard' fee that an Andalus lawyer would charge for a property purchase?

EG 1% of purchase price, 0.5% etc.

Thanks all.

Norm.

I can't answer your question, but having just moved here and purchased a property I can recommend contacting this company for a chat: C&D Solicitors

We have been impressed by their logical approach and clear fees structure. Feel free to send me a private message if you would like more info.

The standard advice is to allow 15% for fees on top of purchase price. The fee charged by my solicitor for the work was 1% of purchase price but there are extras such as transfer of utilities and wills which may not be applicable to you. He also translated documents and presented the documents which I could not have done .  I think the easiest thing is to get some quotes. Alex

Thanks Alex. I'm actually moving from Mallorca where the fee structures differ.

EG the estate agents here charge between 5-6% whereas it appears the Andalus agents charge less.

The lawyers here charge 1% too and I wondered if the southern lawyers were similarly more competitive.

So it would appear 1% is pretty standard -- which is what I thought.

Appreciate the input -- thanks.

Norm.
