How we work with clients in Sant Rafel
Most of our clients in Sant Rafel are international buyers, owners and residents who prefer to deal with their lawyer in English or German. We start with a call or video call, review the documents you send us and give you a written proposal with the scope and fees before any work starts. We deal with the town hall of Sant Antoni de Portmany, the Consell d'Eivissa, the notaries and the Land Registry, and with the courts in Ibiza Town when a matter has to go to court. If you live abroad, a power of attorney lets us act for you at every step, and you receive written updates after each one.
An illustrative example
Based on situations we commonly see; not a specific client. A family bought a country house near Sant Rafel after viewing it in winter. In summer they found the noise from traffic and nearby venues much higher than expected. We advised them on complaints to the town hall and on noise measurements, and the following season the measures improved the situation.
