Spanish lawyer for handover and snagging in new build property in Granada

Property handover is the legal turning point: it starts LOE periods (1, 3 and 10 years) and crystallises visible defects if no reserves are made. Attend with a technician (architect/surveyor) and always sign with a detailed snagging list. If your new build is in Granada (Granada, Andalucía) and you need a Spanish lawyer for handover and snagging, we handle the case online from Málaga. Santiago Javier Franco Landeira (Bar of A Coruña 1666) runs each file personally.
