Those who do not want to bother themselves with the many papers can commission a “gestoría”. These are service offices that do everything that has to do with bureaucracy for a fee. Also such annoying things as preparing the tax return, taking a close look at the rental contracts, helping out with real estate transactions, advising heirs, etc…

Specialized service offices (also English “gestorias”), which you can find here on our website, help you to fight bureaucracy.

We hope that this information was helpful for you, and are gladly at your disposal with our experience of many years!
