Buying Property in Arenal, Jávea: Legal Guide

Arenal is Jávea's most prestigious and expensive neighbourhood, with average prices of €3,500-4,500 per square metre for beachfront properties. Legal due diligence here is critical: many older villas may have been extended without proper licences, coastal protection zones (Ley de Costas) may restrict certain uses, and the PGOU regulates building heights and densities strictly. Our conveyancing service includes full nota simple verification, catastral cross-checking, PGOU compliance review, debt and charge clearance, and notary completion. We also advise on tourist rental licensing, which is heavily regulated in Jávea.

Inheritance Tax Planning for Arenal Property Owners

With property values in the Arenal often exceeding €1 million, inheritance tax planning is not optional — it is essential. The Valencian Community offers substantial reductions for close relatives (up to 99%), but these must be properly applied. Our services include: tax-efficient will drafting, usufruct structures, life insurance integration, cross-border coordination with UK and European lawyers, and proactive wealth tax planning. Bufete Padilla has been protecting expat families' interests in Jávea since 1976.
