Spanish Land Registry information now available in English
Spain could be exacerbating its property market’s problems by making Land Registry information available in English, according to an overseas property lawyer.
Peter Esders, solicitor at Chebsey & Co., told OPP in a letter that more information being made available online in English leaves him “anticipating problems. I am worried about the fact that more information is being given in English online at the Land Registry,” he said.
“Unscrupulous sellers will tell buyers that they don’t need a lawyer because there are land registry searches available in English and they can supply a notary at the end.”
