Accordingly, we have had the opportunity to advise individuals, developers, and construction companies, as well as financial institutions, investment funds, REITs, family-offices, and distribution chains in numerous real estate operations and transactions, in their many forms, from the urban-planning development of land to the construction, development, and funding of real estate projects on property designated for various uses: industrial, residential, commercial units, offices, shopping centres, hotels, etc., in addition to conducting legal audits (due diligence) of the properties or the companies holding the real estate assets.

The Real Estate Department at RAMÓN HERMOSILLA ABOGADOS offers clients innovative, flexible, and efficient solutions in all types of property-related operations. We understand and we approach client advisory as a firm commitment and a pledge to accompany our clients in the development of their businesses, analysing their current needs, in addition to their medium- and long-term requirements, in an effort to adjust their specific situation to the international economic climate and the current context of the property sector in which they operate or intend to operate, as well as to industry forecasts and trends.

Clients require security with regard to the terms and legal situation of the property acquired (building, land, or development), and the type of legal transaction through which the property is acquired or operated. As such, we are routinely involved in the design and execution of complex operations that require legal-property registry regularisation and configuration tasks to be undertaken beforehand, i.e.: commonhold divisions, establishment of real estate complexes, divisions, groupings, and declarations of new works, etc.
