Law firm specialising in co-ownership dissolution in Málaga

When should you apply for condominium dissolution in Málaga?

There are many co-ownership situations in which several people share title to a property. Common causes include divorces, separations of unmarried couples, and the distribution of inherited estates. You are not legally obliged to remain in a proindiviso (joint ownership arrangement) against your will.

Our specialist lawyer evaluates your case across Málaga, Teatinos, Fuengirola, Cártama and Vélez-Málaga to determine the options available. Whether through direct award of the property or sale to a third party, we manage the process to ensure a fair outcome for all parties.

Out-of-Court Route: Agreement before a Notary

This is the quickest and most cost-effective route. It requires the unanimous agreement of all co-owners on the property’s value and the payment terms (financial compensation to the departing co-owner).

Our firm handles the negotiation, drafts the agreement, and coordinates with the notary for the signing of the public deed, ensuring your interests are fully protected by contract.

Judicial Route: Division of Common Property

Where there are irreconcilable disputes between co-owners or a refusal to sell, we initiate judicial proceedings for the division of common property (división de la cosa común).

No one can force you to remain in co-ownership. Court intervention concludes with a public auction of the property or its award to one party, ensuring you can dissolve the co-ownership and definitively recover your funds.

Legal team analysing title deeds and tax implications in Málaga

Tax implications: significant savings over stamp duty (ITP)

Transferring your share of the property through this mechanism is fiscally far more advantageous than a conventional sale between co-owners. The tax consequences are minimal.

Unlike a standard property sale, which is subject to Transfer Tax (Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales — ITP) at 7% in Andalusia, condominium dissolution is only subject to Stamp Duty on Documented Legal Acts (Impuesto de Actos Jurídicos Documentados — AJD), typically between 1% and 1.5%. Our expert lawyer thoroughly analyses the tax implications so that this process saves you thousands of euros in taxes and fees.

Requirements for the public deed and land registry registration

For the change of ownership to be fully enforceable against third parties, a strict registration formality must be completed:

  • Expert valuation of the property and agreement on the compensation amount.
  • Execution of the agreement in a public deed reflecting both the previous and resulting ownership.
  • Payment of regional taxes (AJD) and municipal capital gains tax (plusvalía municipal) where applicable.
  • Final registration at the relevant Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad) in Málaga.

Avoid paying unnecessary taxes. At Orozco y Asociados we draft the perfect notarial agreement to safeguard your financial interests.
