Foreign Property Investment

Why You Should Use Our Services

Independent: The SCF Group does not receive any Commissions or benefits from any Third Party Estate Agents or Developers. This means that our interests correlate exactly with your interests

Pre-Investment Tax Planning Advice: As Licensed Tax Planners, the SCF Group can provide expert pre-investment advice on how best to mitigate or even eliminate exposure to high Spanish and Portuguese Capital Gains, Income, Inheritance and Wealth Taxes

Spanish & Portuguese Limited Company Incorporation: In both Spain and Portugal the company incorporation process is far more cumbersome than in either the UK or Ireland. However, with SCF all the procedures can take place from the UK, in English and without the need to visit a Notary, a Spanish Bank or even pay the quite substantial minimum capitalisation requirements (in Spain the minimum capitalisation is €3,006.00) - All at prices comparable or even less than if directly instructing Spanish Lawyers.

An alternative solution would be to register a UK company in Spain. Read more about this approach here .

Property Conveyancing: The Spanish & Portuguese property conveyancing process is perhaps the most daunting of legal processes for the expatriate investor. With SCF we will carry out full searches not only to confirm good title but also to ensure that planning permission exits and that there are no nasty surprises around the corner.

This service can also include a Full Structural Survey (not normally available in Spain) carried out by qualified experts, which will ensure that all current Spanish Building Regulations have been satisfied, that septic tanks, pools, fireplaces etc. both work and are legal.

In fact, our "Key to Door" Service is so comprehensive and safe that all you need do is identify the property and we literally carry out all the necessary checks and conveyancing so that all you need do is turn up and collect the key to your property!

General Assistance: Apart from the services above SCF can also provide general assistance with such things such as work permits, personal and corporate tax identification numbers, immigration, accountancy plus a host of other matters that might occur whilst working or investing in Spain.
