"I have sought advice from Raymundo on several occasions with Spanish-related legal work. His extensive Spanish legal knowledge (especially relating to property), excellent technical legal skills, good value, punctual response to questions, fluent English and ability to explain Spanish law in a clear and concise way to non-Spaniards are just some of the reasons why I always seek advice from him when I have a Spanish legal matter. Raymundo also writes well-written, insightful articles in English on a whole range of topical Spanish legal issues. If you require reliable, cost-effective Spanish legal advice, I would recommend you get in touch with Raymundo."
"In 2009 Raymond Nesbitt handled a property conveyance for me. He was professional, knowledgeable, helpful and available at all times and in all aspects of the conveyance. At one point a question mark over an outstanding action by the community of owners against the property developer arose. Raymond's advice in respect of the issue blended both legal and practical advice and was valuable in making a risk assessment on the purchase."
"Having had very poor advice during our purchase and finding ourselves in real difficulty Raymond Nesbitt was recommended to us. We were immediately impressed with his understanding of our legal position and his excellent command of English which meant that he was able to explain to us clearly what his recommendations were. He also translated documents and deeds for us giving us a clear understanding of what we were signing. Raymond helped us make some tough decisions in the confident knowledge that we could trust his legal knowledge and advise and that he was acting in our best interests."
"As a Notary in England I often work closely with foreign lawyers. Raymundo and his colleagues have provided expert and prompt assistance in respect of Spanish Property matters whenever I have contacted them. My clients have been very pleased."
"I have found your service to be very efficiently operated, quick and professional. I will certainly retain your details should I or any of my fellow colleagues have need for your services in the future."
"Thank you for your prompt reply and help with Seasonal Holiday Lettings. All matters have been very efficiently dealt with. Many thanks"
" This was my first time using Raymundo to prepare the various tax documents that need filing. In the past I used a large law firm. They were fine but every time I contacted them I was referred to yet another lawyer at yet another office. With Raymundo it was a one on one. I appreciated his professionalism and I received immediate telephone or email responses. He now has all my information and will keep me informed when things need to be filed and paid."
"I discovered Larrain Nesbitt Lawyers through reading a number of Raymundo's excellent articles on a range of tax topics in Spain. I had been struggling to find good English-speaking professional services in Spain so was especially pleased to find such a friendly, clear and efficient service from LNL. I was provided with clear guidance and a spreadsheet regarding the data I needed to gather for my tax return and LNL did the rest, bringing my tax bill down 38% in the process. But, most valuable for me, I had many questions that were all answered very well; I couldn't have asked for more."
"First I would like to thank you for your quick and excellent legal advice. I have been following your contributing articles on Spanish Property Insight, I always found them easy to follow (not all lawyers make legal issues simple to understand ) and very informative, When came the time that I needed a legal advice, I thought of you and send you my request. To my surprise the answer came back almost by return and was very clear and to the point. I did followed up with some more question and the same happened. I am glad that I have contacted you and I am grateful for your advice. "
"Raymundo lavora in maniera impeccabile. La sua assistenza legale è sempre molto rapida e centrata sull’obiettivo. Pienamente soddisfatto del servizio. Grazie Larrain Nesbitt Abogados "
"We are both very grateful for your sustained effort in finalising the house sale. Your timeless effort and amazing resourcefulness was inspiring. We wish your continued success. "
"I own three properties in Spain through two entities. I recently obtained my Residencia status and in the process realized that I would be well served by looking into the inheritance situation in Spain. After a web search I found Raymundo’s articles and began communicating with him --a wonderful experience! We arranged a telephone conference and in only 30 minutes I had the background information I needed and with my most immediate questions answered. I decided to have Raymundo draw up a will to be registered with the appropriate authorities in Madrid. After sending the necessary information I had a draft almost immediately for 1/10th the cost I had been quoted by another attorney. When I learned that, contrary to other’s experience, the Embassy in Washington DC would not notarize the will, Raymundo told me that he would arrange for it to happen the next time I was in Spain – at no additional charge. Now I have accomplished that and have met this very efficient, knowledgeable, and pleasant man. I cannot recommend him more highly. "

"Thank you very much for an excellent service. "
"Having found a perfect long-term rental flat in Barcelona, I was presented with a rental contract by the owners that seemed to me to be quite non-standard. I speak Spanish fluently and have lived in Spain for many years and feel reasonably proficient in navigating here, but I was really set back after reading this contract. Searching the internet, I was happy to find a wealth of real estate related articles authored by Raymond and knew that he was just the right person to help guide me through the process of deciphering this contract. I contacted Raymond via email and received his initial response within fifteen minutes! Using email, I explained the basic terms of the rental and sent along the contract. He quickly advised me of his (very fair) fees for his services and I made payment to his account. Upon receiving the payment, Raymond immediately reviewed the contract and answered my queries in detail. He provided clear guidance, in excellent English, and I was able to plainly explain to my potential landlords where the contract deviated from standard practices. Raymond's help was invaluable and I would not hesitate to use his services again or to recommend him heartily to others. I should also point out that even though Raymond is located in the south of Spain, I am in Barcelona and he handled all of my concerns relating to this particular market perfectly. Thank you again, Raymond! "
"I just wanted to say a quick thank-you for your service. The speed that you were able to produce a rental contract for us was exceptional. We are very grateful that you were able to help us through the entire process, even when we were confused ourselves! You may rest assured we will certainly use your company in the future. "

"We are very grateful for your expertise and attention to detail and we have appreciated all your speedy responses to all my queries over recent months. Many thanks for your hard work!"
"I recently employed Nesbitt-Larrain Abogados for the conveyancing of my new (old) Spanish property in Granada. Raymundo was really helpful throughout the process and generous with advice and signposting to a range of excellent, easy to understand articles to support my understanding. I found these articles really helpful throughout the process and they enabled me to get a better understanding of what’s required from me as a property owner in Spain. Raymundo was also efficient and supportive throughout and in addition, responded quickly to emails and calls. I have no reservations about the additional bonus of him being bi-lingual and having applied knowledge of both UK and Spanish legal and fiscal systems and I would not hesitate to highly recommend him and the services he provides."
"Thank you so much for completing this, we really appreciate the thorough way you do business and this makes us feel at ease. We would certainly recommend you to potential customers."
"I found Lorrain Nesbitt Abogados on-line via a web search and found there very informative short essays. I was looking to rent in Madrid, so engaged them to help me review the contract before signing. Reymundo personally dealt with me, he was super fast and very knowledgeable in answering my questions and reviewed the contract the same day, thus helping me secure my rental property with minimal fuss. I will certainly use their services again as I am hoping to purchase in the coming year. Thank you Reymundo."
"You can read all you like on the Internet, but I was left with more questions and a heap of indefinite and possibly outdated answers. We needed clarity on some issues regarding a lease agreement and we needed the information to be current. Raymundo Larrain Nesbitt was able to field these questions with precision and speed, thanks to which we were able to make necessary decisions with confidence."
"As a former digital nomad of 5 years, who moved 6 times before attaining residency in Spain, I was overjoyed to finally sign a long term lease with a landlord who assured me she had no intention of moving back into her house, that I could stay as many years as I desired. When I was suddenly informed that my landlord intended to sell her house 7 months into my long term lease, I Googled my rental rights and came across Raymond Larrain Nesbitt’s well-written articles on Spanish renters rights and common illegal rental clauses. As an SEO, I not only greatly appreciated his use of content to attract clientele, in a world of bungling Spanish lawyers Raymond’s service was reassuringly prompt, thorough and clear. A massive amount of stress and anxiety has been lifted knowing my rights, negotiating position, and that, with Lauren Nesbitt Abogados on my side, I have the right to remain without rental price hikes for at least 3 years."
"I found the tax obligations on our holiday rental confusing to say the least so contacted Larrain Nesbitt. Raymond was helpful, with clear advice, very responsive, patient with my questions and certainly delivered on their tax saving promise."
"We worked with Raymundo to sell out apartment in Alhaurin Golf. I can highly recommend Raymundo who is one of the most proactive lawyers I have ever come across. He kept us informed throughout the entire process, worked through challenges and was at all times very professional. Thanks to his professionalism, and with the holiday season on the way, we sold the apartment within a record six weeks. We will continue to use Raymundo for our taxes, wills and strongly recommend for all legal matters."
"Raymundo has given a quick and straightforward help to avoid the most common pitfalls when moving to Spain. He is easy to work with and efficient."

He was the natural choice to prepare my Spanish Will which he did with commendable efficiency and speed. Since then, he has freely, and without delay, given his advice on a number of legal issues for which I am both grateful and reassured - the Spanish legal system can seem daunting but he makes it all clear and understandable. I will definitely be using his accounting and taxation services for holiday lettings and would not hesitate to recommend him."

"Dear Raymund, Many thanks for the wonderful service you have provided me with. Kind Regards, Mike McKenzie. "

"Thank you for the swift completion and more than happy with the service. "
"We found Raymundo Larrain Nesbitt through reading his informative and well written articles in the 'Spanish Property Insight' blog that we've been subscribing to for many years. The service we received from Larraín Nesbitt Abogados was excellent - highly professional in every way and very efficient. The contract they produced for us was professionally executed and the service was speedy and reliable. We had a tight time deadline and they didn't let us down. They responded promptly to all of our emails and a timeline was always given to let us know when things would be ready - this was really helpful and reassuring. Thank you Raymundo, we hope to use you again in the future. "

"After much searching on the internet to try to understand the Spanish taxation for non residents with a holiday rental I decided to contact Raymundo at LNL. The Marbella based lawyers that we had used for other services in the past were extremely poor at responding to emails so I didn't hold up much hope for anything different. To my surprise Raymundo was extremely responsive and very clear in his explanations. It is a relief to find a company that provides such a quick and efficient service. We will definitely be using them for all our future property needs."

His explanation of an unfamiliar tax system could not have been clearer, and his patience with my numerous questions was endless.

I was also reassured that they are on a HMRC list of approved Spanish legal firms."

"Thank you Raymond. Excellent service and a very quick turn around after I first contacted you. Regards, Tony Robinson"
"Thank you for your help with our recent tenancy agreement questions. The issues at hand were well clarified by your forthright and very understandable opinion. Money well spent without question. And the key elements spelt out so categorically made it easy to contest the illegal agreement which we had signed with the real estate agency."
"I saw this company advertised on Spanish Property Insight and thought I would give them a go as I was fed up with the increasing cost of getting my NRIIT returns done each year. Well, all I can say is 10 out of 10, excellent! They were very helpful, efficient, quick and their fee is very, very fair. I will certainly be using them again."

"Raymond helped my wife and I with an urgent requirement to file and pay our non-resident property taxes (and avoid harsh penalties) in response to a tax summons we received from the tax department.

Raymond provided a very responsive service, with the costs for his services advised upfront and clear explanations and instructions provided in excellent English throughout the process. Thank you so much Raymond!"
"I am very relieved to have found Reymundo to handle my the taxation on my holiday letting. He gives personal service and answers all my questions promptly. I can highly recommend his company to anyone who needs assistance with the Spanish tax - or legal system."
"My husband and I were very impressed with Raymundo’s knowledge and professionalism the first time we met him. Subsequently his company helped us with our tax regarding Seasonal Holiday Lettings. The efficiency and speed with which they made sure everything went smoothly made the whole process easy for us. Their very reasonable and fair fees were welcomed, too We have already recommended them to a few of our friends in the same situation and will certainly continue using their services. "
"I used Raymondo to draft a " SEASONAL LET" contract for me for renting out my apartment. He gave sound advice, and responded promptly to my questions, and produced the draft contract in quick time. I certain will use him again and would recommend him to anyone, David Scott, Mijas."
"Thank you Raymond!! I really appreciate your assistance with this. If I have any other needs during the inheritance procedure I will certainly contact you."
"We have owned property in Spain for more than 17 years and worked with various lawyers on a number of different projects but none of them have given us the confidence and speedy assistance that Raymundo gives time after time. With the laws in Spain so complicated, especially in regard to holiday lettings, it is so important to completely understand what is required and have confidence in the advice that you are receiving; Raymundo gives this in bucket loads. We wish we had found him before!"
"We have used a couple of accountants to submit our Spanish tax returns, which are far too complex for us to deal with ourselves. We found Raymundo very efficient, he dealt with matters very quickly and was clear in his explanations. Hopefully he will continue to deal with our tax affairs in the future. We would not hesitate to recommend him."
"Thank you for getting this all through for me. I am very grateful and surprised at the ease of it all."
"Are you an English speaker who struggles through some of the legal aspects of life in Spain? Save yourself worry, bother, and anxiety by engaging the services of Raymundo Nesbitt and his associates. We have used his offices twice, both with excellent results. In our first encounter he reviewed an apartment lease for us, and gave us confidence to sign and pay 4500 € in deposits. Our most recent need for assistance involved the sale of our car as we were leaving the country. We had not achieved resident status, but Raymundo's interaction with the dealer and alternative identity documents allowed the transaction to go forward. We can highly and unreservedly recommend Raymundo Nesbitt and his team to sort out your legal situation, whatever it is. Valerie Ishmael and Gerald McDearmon Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA, formerly of San Sebastian, Espana"
"If anyone is looking for a solicitor in Spain, I would like to highly recommend Raymundo Larrain Nesbitt. My elderly mother recently sold her property in Malaga and unfortunately her tenants were not very cooperative people. However with Raymundo’s hard work, professionalism and knowledge of the law in Spain the sale of the property was dealt with the minimum of fuss and Raymundo kept us informed every step of the way. His fees were very reasonable. What could have been a terrible situation for my mother turned out to be an excellent outcome for her and this was only possible thanks to Raymundo. I do not normally write reviews but I felt I had to on this occasion. Thanks Raymundo and all the best for the future. Regards Tony Hunt."
"I am an Owner in Marbella. I made a huge mistake and signed a very bad contract with a real estate company which I thought it is trustworthy and a friend! I found out later that they were cheating me from day one.I have contacted Mr. Raymundo and he has supported me excellently on this matter. Without his excellent advises and support I would be completely lost with this issues, specially because I don’t even live in Spain and am not familiar with the law and am not here to follow up and will cost me a lot to travel to Spain for this issue. My advice to every owner is if you want to sign a contract with anyone, regarding your prop-erty, please contact Mr. Raymundo and let him check the contract for you. It will save a lot of hassle, headache, sleepless nights and money and it is worth every penny of it specially if you are living abroad. Having a hassle like this, can cost you easily thousands of Euros and a lot of headache” S, Ehsan (Dubai, United Arab Emirates). "
"Raymundo, and his legal team recently helped my wife, and I with our Spanish tax returns for non-residents. Raymundo’s customer service is excellent. He is the complete professional.

Quite simply, it’s the best legal service I have ever received both in Spain, and in the UK."

My property is in Castilla La Mancha, however, it was easy to sort out everything by email.

"Many thanks again for the fantastic speedy service :)"
"I have been extremely happy with the support and service Raymond and his company has provided with regards to my touristic let in Mallorca.

"I have found Raymundo’s service excellent. I had many questions I needed to ask to ensure I was choosing the right contract and each and every one of Raymundo’s replies were extremely prompt and courteous, and the information thorough and precise. "
"...There is nothing he can't do with lightning speed and unbelievable efficiency. He has guided me safely through the Spanish taxation minefield and even finds the time to send a 'polite reminder' when I'm getting too close to the tax deadline. He is such a prolific writer, it is hard to believe there is only one of him. His numerous articles and blogs have been invaluable in steering many of us through the Spanish system and he even manages to make them an entertaining read intertwined with his mischievous wit. 'Every pound is a prisoner' is one of his sayings, apparently originally one of his Gran's. I think it perfectly sums up his work ethic and how thorough he is in all that he does. Always attentive, well-informed and professional, Raymond almost sounds too good to be true. He isn't. If you want a safe pair of hands to help you with legal or tax affairs in Spain and at an honest and fair price, I suggest you email him (and then test him, timing how long it takes him to respond!)"
"Raymundo Larraín Nesbitt provided us with a great service when we were selling our Spanish property. With us based in the UK and with limited Spanish of our own, Raymond was in regular communication with us in English and explained every part of the process. Post sale Raymond advised us on how we to claim back over paid CGT and dealt with this quickly on our behalf. I would happily recommend!” "
"Raymond did a great job by calculating and paying all the different taxes (IBI, NRIIT and Basura) and setting up the direct debits with our bank. He always replies to emails quickly and clearly. Raymond is knowledgable, courteous and efficient and is good value. I can thoroughly recommend him and rate his service highly. "
"To whom it may concern, I have found Raymundo at Larraín Nesbitt Abogados to be friendly, knowledgeable and efficient when submitting my tax return in Spain. Regards, Steve Church."
"I have been following Mr. Nesbitt's online articles since my arrival to Spain some 5 years ago. They taught me many things that go far beyond conventional wisdom or information I got from other lawyers (for example, the fact that the renewal of a year-long rental contract is dependent only on the will of the tenant and may last 3-5 years, depending on changing federal regulations). In addition, Mr. Nesbitt's articles struck me as exceptionally rigorous, clear and comprehensive. Following my positive impression of his professional capacities, I consulted Mr. Nesbitt in person regarding issues concerning renting out proprieties in Spain, both for residents and non-residents. During the meeting I received clear and concise coverage of the issues. In light of the above, I warmly recommend Mr. Nesbit's services to anyone who is interested in these and related issues. A. A."
"I have been using Larraine Nisbett Abogados for two years now to assist me with legal and financial matters in Spain. First they explained to me very clearly what my obligations are, and also prepared a rental agreement for my property there. Subsequently, they have helped me by preparing the appropriate tax returns, reminding me in good time that these require to be submitted. It is particularly helpful that Raymond himself speaks prefect English and is able to explain various complex matters in a way which I can understand. In every way I have found the service which I receive as being excellent and highly professional, and have no hesitation to recommend their services to anyone who is not familiar with the Spanish legal and tax regimes. Kelso Riddell Edinburgh"
"For the first time after 4 years in Spain I was given a professional lawyer service. There were so many different issues which went wrong before inspite of the fact that we always used solicitors (both private and for the company. I contacted Raymundo Larrain Nesbitt through website Spanish Property regarding Non-resident Income tax /short term rentals through Airbnb). No meetings or discussions for hours. Directly after contact a brief information about the process was send to me by mail. I send requested docs and filled in attached spreadsheets for expenses by mail. After 2 days taxes for each quarter were declared and with a HUGE TAX RELIEF Taxes were much lower than I expected. I received professional, transparent and effective lawyer service first time during 4 years in Spain. I will ask Raymundo Larrain Nesbitt for other services in the future. My high recommendations to everybody who has problems with property market issues in Spain. Unfortunately there are many…"
"Raymond from Larrain Nesbitt Abogados, Marbella was invaluable in helping us to pay the NRIT Taxes. We are not fluent in Spanish & were unclear about how much tax was due & how to pay it. Raymond provided a great service in organising the paying of those taxes at a reasonable fee. M H (Dublin)"
"I have pleasure in recommending the services supplied by Larrain Nesbit lawyers to any other people who like myself own a rental property in Spain but also struggle badly to grasp precisely what needs to be done to stay within the law and not risk in some cases a very heavy fine. I searched for quite a while before discovered Raymond and his company and I am delighted that I did as his knowledge and advice and his integrity are second to none. Raymond also has an excellent command of both the written and spoken English and it is always a pleasure to speak with him when required. Raymond always alerts us in time to submit whatever returns are due for taxation and has saved us a substantial amount already in the relatively short time we have used his company, in fact he usually saves us more than his fees so he provides excellent value plus the knowledge that his services are done correctly which in itself is very important. Just recently I thought my annual tax was due for payment and sent him the fees to cover his work for this,only to be told the next day that he had checked our account and that he had already paid and filed our return which we had simply overlooked and asked if we would like a refund or for him to hold the money for a future tax quarter return in 2020 which we happily agreed to do. I can honestly say that with Raymond you are probably in the safest hands of one of, if not the leading tax expert in Spain. David and Pauline Flynn, Roquetas de Mar Almeria."

"This is a true and honest testimonial on behalf of Mary and Michael Hanly for Raymundo Larrain Nesbitt Solicitor. We dealt with Raymundo on the purchase of our new apartment in Spain. From the beginning we felt in good and safe legal hands with Raymundo, his approach is clear and precise, and no detail left unexplored. Raymundo takes a holistic approach to understand fully your needs for your particular set of circumstances. Raymundo speaks excellent English which was very important to us as we wanted to understand that we had everything correct as required for the purchase of our new holiday home. The service that Raymundo and his team offer is comprehensive and can include Notary visits, bank account opening, setting up of utilities, Spanish Wills and ensuring all relevant documentation is gathered and processed in a timely manner for the sale to proceed. We consider Raymundo to a very conscientious and through professional and was excellent at communicating with us, at every stage of the process, which really set our minds at ease . He was able to assist us on setting up ‘power of attorney’ and this was wonderful facility, as it meant we didn’t have to travel every time something needed to be signed during the process. We would have no hesitation in recommending Raymundo and his team to anyone looking for a comprehensive and professional legal service. We will use Raymundo again for any future legal needs we may have."
"I retained Raymond for the preparation of a long term lease of my apartment and am very pleased with the service provided. The initial response was prompt, outlining the process, options available and fees associated (reasonable). The process went as prescribed; and timelines maintained. I appreciated most, the professionalism and responsiveness. I was not kept waiting for answers - I received replies. Can’t say enough about this. Thanks Raymond, a quality experience. BM "
"Larrain Nesbitt Lawyers provided me with very affordable and professional service to setup our NRITT payment for our property in Valencia.

"I have been a reader of Mr. Larrain Nesbitt blogs for more than three years. These blogs helped me and continue to help to navigate through legislative changes affecting my affairs in Spain. No wonder when the time has come to write my Spanish will, I chose his firm to do so. As I was writing simultaneously several wills covering my assets in various jurisdictions, I had a lot of questions concerning domicile issues, potential conflicts among the wills, and so on. Unlike my previous dealings with Spanish advocates, I have not encountered the attitude: “We know better what is good for you” So all my questions were answered patiently, promptly and in a professional manner. I am pleased with the result and highly recommend the services of Larrain Nesbitt Abogados. VS, Barcelona. "

"(Golden Visa) It was in 2014 that my wife and I started considering moving to Spain for retirement. I started doing my research and discovered the Golden Visa (GV) plan that was suitable for us. It was during that time that I came across an article written by Raymundo Larrain Nesbitt. His article was clear, concise and gave very valuable information on the GV schemes, application process and most importantly the due diligence considerations to avoid pitfalls, mistakes and problems. In late 2019, Raymundo Larrain Nesbitt handled our family GV application process. Raymundo and his team made our GV application process very easy for us. We always felt that Raymundo and his team were reachable either by e-mail or by social media and they were swift on their answers. We were very impressed by their way of doing business and how they tracked and controlled every step such that our GV application process went very smooth and was approved in a very short time by Madrid. It is our plan to continue working with Raymundo Larrain Nesbitt for all our future legal needs in Spain and I gladly recommend working with him to all expats planning to move to Spain and interested in securing the Spanish law on their side. Moreover, I would highly recommend all his articles that are published in ‘Spanish Property Insight’ related to real estate property acquisition, taxes, Spanish GV law & application, writing a Will, inheritance considerations, etc. They are extremely pertinent to expats considering moving to Spain through GV plan as an investor or through property acquisition. Mr. Youssef Abbaoui – Canadian Expat living in KSA. "

" (Litigation) Larraín Nesbitt Abogados has been extremely helpful I do not know what I could have done without Raymond and his team. They have been my continued support throughout this process and I have learnt so much from Raymond with the laws and regulation in Spain. Unfortunately I was challenged with a very awkward, sneaky tenant who was infact an estate agent, so be aware and do not even trust so called professionals living in your property in Spain. Raymond communications has been nothing but outstanding, he has always been there when I needed him, replies instantly and explain in terms that we can understand with no legal jargon. The tenant eviction was successful and although it was challenging at times it especially with the Covid situation. Raymond and his team have been an immense support. I could not recommend this firm enough, and to not only help with a non paying tenant but for all other legal requirements even if it's just for information they are knowledgable and they say it how it is. Thank you Ramond and the team! FA "
"Thanks a lot . Great service "
"(Litigation) I have been faced with a difficult problem to solve concerning eviction of a tenant’s partner for non-payment of rent for over a year. It has been exacerbated by my not being able to visit Spain and have face-to-face meetings, nor to take care of my business for myself. I greatly appreciate the work which you have done for me in this matter, including introduction to a suitable representative to have a Power of Attorney in the matter. While it has been a long drawn out and expensive process, I much appreciate your clear advice and guidance with respect to the law in Spain, and in the successful conclusion of a court case and sentence for eviction which has now been completed. Thank you for your work for me. I look forward to continuing to using your services whenever I need them again."

As a Chartered Accountant I was very impressed by his professionalism and will certainly use him again when we proceed with becoming Spanish residents"

"(Taxation) We started working with Larrain Nesbit Abogados a few years ago, when we had an apartment that we were using for short-term letting. Being completely baffled with the various new regulations that had recently been brought in regarding holiday lettings and the taxes payable, it was such a relief to meet Raymundo, who organised us completely, simplified everything, and ensured that we paid the correct amounts each quarter, all for a very low fee. Even though we no longer do any form of property letting, Raymundo has continued to remind us about, and prepare for us, our annual taxes, ensuring that we don’t have to worry about when and how to file and pay each year - again, for a much lower fee than comparable firms.

"(Conveyance) I would like to thank you for making everything go so smoothly. You were always there at the end of a (very long-threaded) email and guided me through the minefields and muddy trenches of selling a house - and that was very comforting.
