Thinking
of buying a holiday home, investing in the property market or
settling on Spain’s Costas?
The Rights
Group (“TRG”) was established to assist clients,
who have a limited amount of experience of Spain, to short circuit
the process of deciding with whom to work. Through our one stop
shop - the TRG Network - we can help you to determine who is
best to represent your interests in Spain.
Our estate
agency Members can help you find your property. Our professional
service Members are available to assist with your funding requirements,
legal and tax advice etc. in order to complete your purchase.
All of the
TRG Network members have been test driven by us. The principals
of our Member businesses are usually totally bilingual and include
Abogados (Lawyers), Surveyors, Accountants, Mortgage and Insurance
Brokers, Bankers, Currency Dealers, Tax and Investment Advisors,
Estate and Rental Agents.
I am an English
trained lawyer who practised for over 20 years in the UK - the
last 12 years as a Partner in a Solicitor’s practice in
Central London. I settled with my wife and family on the Costa
del Sol a few years ago. My experience of the Spanish advisors
appointed to look after our interests was that they just didn’t
come up to my standards of professional life. Their technical
knowledge was fine but their “client care” –
their responsiveness to us and our need for clear information
- was appalling.
We have identified
those advisors whom we believe are the “best of breed”.
However, some clients will have been referred to other local
advisors with whom we are equally happy to work. We would only
ask that, where possible, you consult us before you appoint
your advisor(s).
TRG’s
role is to project manage your dealings in Spain and to “drive”
your professional advisors, as necessary. A TRG representative
becomes responsible to you and effectively becomes your eyes
and ears in Spain. We ask the right questions, get the required
answers and, in tandem with your chosen advisors, keep you fully
informed at all stages – using electronic communication
where possible.
We have seen
our business grow rapidly as a direct result of the many TV
and media pieces in Northern Europe about clients receiving
poor advice, being misinformed and falling victim to conflict
of interests.
We don’t
promise that it will always be plain sailing – Spain is
highly bureaucratic – but we do seek to alleviate as much
of the pain as possible. After all, buying and managing your
dream home is meant to be a pleasure.
