How can I purchase a home by saving time and money?

The figure of a real estate personal shopper has seen a major boom in recent years, although our European neighbours and English-speaking market are years ahead of us in this regard.

By Xavier Jové, Patrimonia lawyers and economists.     When it comes to tax, the same property transfer operation can have a very different result depending on whether or not we have conducted a comprehensive tax optimisation study prior to the operation.   The difference can be quite significant depending on a correct analysis of the operation. The first thing we have to bear in mind is to be very clear about whether what we are transferring has been our main residence or not for tax purposes.   If it has been and, in addition, if the person transferring it is over 65 years of age, a very beneficial scenario could be applied for the taxpayer in terms of tax optimisation. If the seller is not over 65, there could similarly be a beneficial tax scenario, but this would not be as great as the previous scenario. If the seller is not over 65 and the main...
