How we work with clients in Binibeca
Most of our clients in Binibeca 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 Lluís, the Consell Insular de Menorca, the notaries and the Land Registry, and with the courts of Maó or Ciutadella 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 buyer in Binibeca Vell planned to add a rooftop terrace. The community statutes did not allow it. The buyer adjusted plans before purchase and avoided a dispute with neighbours.
Before you sign or pay, ask a lawyer
Send us the document, the listing or a short summary of the problem. A lawyer will tell you what matters, what it could cost you and what to do next.
