We have only words of praise. Having Marta by our side on our journey to buy our home in Valencia was helpful and comforting. She helped us to navigate many issues that, without her, would have cost us additional time and money.

Marta represented my interests competently, kindly and with good humour. She guided me through a complicated and at times very frustrating purchase process. Being used to the administrative cultures of northern Europe and Japan, many procedures and requirements were difficult to understand and fulfil, but Marta’s knowledge and experience ensured a happy outcome. Had it not been for her, I would probably have given up and missed out on a great opportunity. I could not have been in better hands and can strongly recommend Marta.

100% recommended. Marta has been extremely helpful in handling my residency application, clarifying what was required and making sure the documents provided were satisfactory and submitted correctly. Great advice, service, and attention to detail.

I thoroughly reccommend Marta if you require help finding your way through the maze that is Spanish bureaucracy. Her easy-going approach belies a sharp knowledge of the system and absolute determination to do the best for her clients. I'm an British man with a Japanese family. Although we had been living in Spain for a few years already, we'd been having an excruciatingly hard time trying to reverify our marriage and family register here, get through the Brexit process, and ensure we had the right to continue bringing up our (Japanese) son in Spain. The stress had been compounded with the coronavirus pandemic cutting us off from access to the governmental offices we needed to deal with. Marta has helped us in so many ways. Her knowledge of the legal system here and the problems UK passport holders with non-EU families could have has helped us to continue with our lives here. I can't thank her enough for her dogged approach in the face of a host of challenges. Marta's professionalism and clarity was an absolute breath of fresh air. We had dealt with several other English-speaking lawyers here in Valencia and been disappointed and frustrated by their lack of experience and reluctance to put in the effort required to deal with the mixture of English, Spanish and Japanese documents needed. Thank you so much Marta for enabling us to continue living our lives here in beautiful Valencia.

Marta is a star! She managed to ensure the significant debts sitting on a plot of land we were buying didn't go to us, and saved my aunt and uncle from buying an apartment that had been illegally converted from an office without the proper permissions. 10/10 she fights for you all the way!

Can only recommend Marta as all other customers. She is happy and kind. But at the same time very professional and will help you through the whole process of buying a property. And if she has to, then she can be tough - to help you. There may be several stakeholders in a property, but Marta will always be on your side. And it feels much safer with her experience during the process of buying a property. If you are going to buy a property in Spain, hire Marta and you will feel much more secure. You will not regret. Marta, thanks for everything !!!
