Do I need a lawyer if I own property in Cadaqués?

Particularly if you are foreign, non-resident, planning works, selling, renting, inheriting, or unsure about your tax position. Cadaqués combines old properties, a protected setting and a changing planning framework, so a short review now usually prevents an expensive problem later.

Does the new POUM affect my property in Cadaqués?

It may, and the effect must be assessed plot by plot. Cadaqués approved its new POUM initially in September 2025 and it is advancing through approval. Both the current framework and the new plan should be reviewed before you make plans for the property.

What taxes affect foreign owners of property in Spain?

Depending on your situation: non-resident income tax, rental income tax, wealth tax, capital gains, municipal plusvalia and inheritance tax. We tell you which ones apply to you specifically.

Which languages can you help me in?

In person and by video, English, Spanish and Catalan. Online, in writing, we can help in any language spoken in Cadaqués (French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Catalan and English), arranging professional translation when an official purpose requires it.

Do I need to be in Spain to work with you?

No. Most work is done remotely, in your language, from wherever you are. When the property itself needs to be seen, we go to it in Cadaqués and Cap de Creus.

Do I need a lawyer to buy property on the Costa Brava?

Yes. Spanish property law — especially on the Costa Brava, where Coastal Law, the Cap de Creus Natural Park, local planning rules (POUM) and non-resident tax all apply — is complex enough to require a specialist. Iurisworld reviews the property, the documents and the tax position before you commit to anything.

How much does a property lawyer cost in Spain?

Consultations at Iurisworld start at €99. A full property and tax check (documents, planning, tax) starts at €850. The fee is agreed and confirmed in writing before any work begins.

Can you handle my Spanish property matter from outside Spain?

Yes. We handle most matters remotely: document reviews, tax queries, pre-purchase or pre-sale advice, inheritance and succession planning. When the property itself needs to be seen, we go to it. We work in English, Spanish, Catalan and French.

What taxes do foreign property owners pay in Spain?

As a non-resident, the main taxes are: IRNR (non-resident income tax on imputed rental income), rental income tax if you let the property, wealth tax above the threshold, municipal plusvalía on sale, and the 3% non-resident withholding retained by the buyer on sale. We map which ones apply to your specific situation.

What makes Cadaqués and Cap de Creus legally different from other Costa Brava towns?

Cadaqués is one of the most tightly regulated municipalities in Spain: Coastal Law, the Cap de Creus Natural Park, the PRUG management plan and the new POUM all restrict renovation, extension and new construction far more than elsewhere on the coast. Every plot has to be assessed individually before any work is planned.
