Our core services for non-resident property owners
1. Intermediation or representation in the tax declaration of imputed income related to real estate and its renting out
As a non-resident in Spain, you are required to comply with specific tax obligations, whether your property is used privately or rented out. We represent you directly before the Spanish tax authorities, ensuring that all declarations of imputed income and rental income are completed accurately and submitted on time.
Our goal is to safeguard your interests, reduce administrative burden, and help you maintain full legal compliance without the stress of managing these obligations from abroad.
2. Intermediation or representation in disputes with public or private authorities or individuals related to real estate
Disputes can arise unexpectedly, whether with neighbours, tenants, local authorities, contractors, or other private entities.
Austen & Partners steps in as your representative on the ground, addressing conflicts on your behalf and working toward a fair and effective resolution.
With longstanding experience navigating Spanish public administration and private-sector interactions, we manage legal communication, documentation, and negotiation, so your property rights remain protected even when you are miles away.
