Your Trusted Expat Real Estate Lawyer in Spain
Virginia Ramos – Specialist in Real Estate and Immigration Law

Hello, I’m Virginia Ramos, an international Spanish lawyer since 2003, with extensive expertise in real estate law and immigration law for expats. From the beginning of my legal career, I have focused on assisting expats with the legal aspects of buying and selling property in Spain, and guiding them through the immigration process.

After over 10 years practicing various areas of law, including civil law, administrative law, criminal law, and international law, I decided in 2018 to focus exclusively on real estate and immigration law. This specialization allows me to provide expert legal assistance to non-residents and expats looking to invest in Spanish real estate.

As a certified real estate lawyer by the Consejo General de la Abogacía Española, I am well-versed in the intricacies of property transactions for non-residents. I regularly offer consultations and conferences on real estate law to real estate agencies, property developers, and other legal professionals across Spain.

Having studied law at the University of Sheffield, I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which gives me a unique advantage in understanding the cultural and legal expectations of clients from the UK, US, and other English-speaking countries. This makes the legal process of purchasing or selling property in Spain more accessible and seamless.

Whether you need legal assistance with property investments, real estate transactions, or guidance through the Spanish immigration process, I am here to make your experience in Spain as smooth as possible.

Client testimonial

1: L. Biggs( 2026) USA Real Estate LAw

We are pleased to recommend Virginia Ramos Martos, who represented our family in the purchase of a second home in Tomares (Seville), Spain. As residents of the United States, we could not possibly have navigated Spain’s legal system and property purchase process without her hard work and expert support. Ms. Ramos demonstrated exceptional dedication, responsiveness, and attention to detail at every stage of the transaction – from due diligence and contract drafting to coordination with the seller, the notary, and other parties. She anticipated issues before they arose, gathered extensive information about our new home, explained each step clearly, and carried out her work with professionalism and precision. Her counsel gave us complete confidence throughout the process.

2Heather King ( 2025 USA) Real Estate Law 

We contracted with Ms. Ramos to help us purchase a property and couldn’t be happier with our experience. From our initial meeting until our property transaction was complete, she was absolutely wonderful to work with. Ms. Ramos is extremely knowledgeable, very professional, a great communicator and helped us walk through every step of the home buying process. She made what would have been a very difficult and intimidating process one that was very easy and not stressful at all. We are so happy we found Ms. Ramos and were able to have her work on our behalf, and we are incredibly grateful for all she has done for u

 

3.Louise Baker( 2025 UK) Real Estate law

Good afternoon Virginia, We want to thank you for everything you have done to ensure we had a smooth process of purchasing in Spain.  Yourself  and all of your team have been very professional and helpful throughout Especially as we don’t speak Spanish you have made this experience less stressful than what it could of been.
We look forward to continuing our relationship with you for all future matters.
4. Lu Shan ( 2025 US) Real Estate Law 
We are very fortunate to have found Virginia for our real estate and immigration needs. Since the introduction meeting, she was patient and professional in providing honest and clear instructions. She understood the urgency of our requests, and immediately laid out a detailed and nimble plan. Without overpromising, she directed us to the work we needed to do to produce the documents from our end. She recommended her trusted real estate partner who is absolutely the best, and went above-and-beyond to ensure the successful execution of the contracts and immigration applications. Throughout the process, Virginia demonstrated deep experience and astounding problem-solving skills. She was responsive to our many questions, and behind the scenes deployed her top-notch teammates to go to offices to push the paperwork process to navigate governmental bureaucracy. Virginia is kind and cares about the clients in a personal way, often providing suggestions beyond what we asked to help make our lives easier. We were able to achieve a satisfying outcome in record time, after other lawyers had told us it could not be done. Thanks Virginia!
5. J. Zaramelo 2024 ( Real Estate Law)
I had an excellent experience working with Virginia, my lawyer (abogada) during the entire process of purchasing my rural property (finca) in Spain. Living abroad, it would have been impossible to manage everything on my own, and her support was essential to complete this project successfully. She was extremely transparent and professional, guiding me step-by-step from the very beginning of the deal until the property deeds (escrituras) were delivered into my hands. Always prompt, proactive, and quick to resolve any issue that arose — everything was handled smoothly and on time. I truly value her work and highly recommend her services to anyone needing reliable legal guidance in Spain.

6. B. 2024(Immigration ) UK

Dear Virginia: I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for all you have done in obtaining my Spanish residency.

You have been so kind, patient and understanding- whilst the wait was stressful at times you were calming and understanding. I could not have done this without you.
Thank you so much for everything.Your professionlism was so appreciated
It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
I can now fully enjoy my life in Spain!
Very best wishes
5 Stars from me!!!

7. Mariliz P. 2024 ( Real estate legal service) USA

My real estate agent suggested me to look for a lawyer through the U.S. embassy in Spain.  I found Virginia Ramos by searching for legal services in the US embassy in Spain list of attorneys in Andalucia as I needed help with my Father’s real estate inheritance in Carmona, Spain after having bad experience with a local lawyer.  https://es.usembassy.gov/legal-services/

I always felt I was a priority to her and she always got back to me timely and always with recommendations / solutions to the challenges we encountered.  Even if I was in the US and she is based in Seville, Spain, she was able to execute what we needed following Spain’s law.  Virginia is an excellent international real estate lawyer in Spain and I truly recommend her http://www.virginiaramos.com/

8. Victoria St. 2024 ( Visa) USA

“We used Virginia for assistance in obtaining our NLV. She helped make a stressful process much easier. She is knowledgeable about all visa options (digital nomad, NLV etc.) and also does real estate transactions for those who want to buy in Spain. She gave us specific regulations as back up materials that helped us when we presented to the Consulate for the visa application that were absolutely key to completion of our application since the US State Department did not get us our Apostille in a timely manner.

Her advice was extremely valuable. She’s very professional and understands the process.

Both my husband and I are attorneys and would not have gotten through the bureaucracy of our own government nor the Spanish process without assistance.

I highly recommend using her for legal services.

9: Phil F. 2024 ( Visa ) USA

Virginia was very responsive and showed great attention to the details of our visa application. Great job and thank you!

Claude  2024 (  Residence permit in Spain )  EU and Canada

My husband and I would  like to thank you very much for your time and support for obtaining our Spanish residence permits.

10. Neal H.  & Susan B.  2023( Real Estate) USA

We contracted Virginia Ramos to represent us in the purchase of an apartment in Sevilla. She has proved to be an extremely competent, honest and effective lawyer. She is very communicative, understands English and is quite vigilant in protecting the best interest of her clients. We could not have navigated the intricate negotiation and details of purchasing real estate in Spain without their expert guidance. We highly recommend Virginia Ramos as an excellent lawyer for anyone buying property or pursuing immigration in Spain

11. Camille N ( Immigration and Real Estate 2022) USA

Virginia provides fantastic assistance with the non-lucrative visa process as well as buying property in Spain.  I worked with her to get non-lucrative visas for my daughter and I in 2020-2021 and to buy a flat once the visas were processed.  She helps with the entire process from beginning to end and knows how to deal with the quirks in both the American and Spanish governments.  We were able to get our visas quickly (even during the pandemic) and efficiently.  She also really cares about her clients and makes sure to take time to get to know what they are looking for in life in Spain.

She listened to all the things we were hoping to do/have once we got here and gave us several suggestions for areas that would work well for us to live as well as offered some insight into places we might not be as well suited for.

During the process of buying a flat she was able to work with the banks to negotiate fees and ensure that the place we were buying was safe, didn’t have any legal issues, and is somewhere we would be happy.  I highly recommend her services if you are looking for any type of assistance with visas or property acquisition in Spain.

 12.N Maddocks ( Expat legal service 2021) UK

We have used for Virginia for a variety of legal services and advice over the last 8 years. She is highly qualified, offering a professional and personal approach to the complexities of Spanish Law. Being fluent in English is a real bonus and she has helped us navigate with ease through a number of issues. One of the main reasons we continue to use Virginia is her pro-active nature. At times the law has changed or been amended and she has notified us of the impact that this may or may not have on our own unique circumstances. We trust her implicitly and have no hesitation in recommending her services to others – a true professional.

13.R. Cioutucha ( Immigration Law 2021)

Virginia provided my partner and I legal advice and assistance on immigration. She always acted in a professional manner and clearly guided  us through the whole process from start to finish. I would not hesitate to use Virginia for any future matters

 

14.E. Mendez ( Immigration Law 2020)

I have received extraordinary and dedicated attention that has allowed me to complete the procedures related to residence in Spain in record time. I highly recommend Virginia for being a great professional.

16.MG USA (  Inmigration Law- Real Estate Law)

“In 2017 I retained the legal services of Virginia Ramos in the purchase of a property in Spain and for securing Spanish residency for myself and my wife.
The company has exceeded my expectations in performing these services, attending to every aspect of each process in an efficient and timely manner. At all times, Virginia provided a dedicated personal service and she was always available to make an immediate response to our questions and concerns. The expert legal services of this company have been instrumental in securing our smooth and stress free relocation from the US to Spain. I would recommend Virginia Ramos to anyone who needs a good lawyer. ”

17.R. H Ireland ( Real Estate Law and investors 2016)
“I have known Virginia for about 3 years now, and utilized her legal services in different occasions. Virginia is a very capable and sincere solicitor who is accurate and up to date with the laws in Spain. If you are buying a property in Spain, she can assist you with all legal matters during the purchase, as well as post purchase matters such as taking care of council tax and non-resident tax. In my opinion Virginia Ramos is the best lawyer in Spain. I am very happy to have her as my lawyer/solicitor, and highly recommend her.”

18.Mick & Connie H. ( Real Estate Law)2015

We have used this company for both the buying and selling of our property in Spain. Very friendly, conscientious, guided us through the process with such professionalism and patience. Nothing was too much trouble, both in person and through email contact. Highly recommended

19 Dr. Steinberg ( Real Estate Law 2013)

Virginia Ramos Martos was my lawyer in dealing with the sale of my
apartment in June 2013. I found her to be a most pleasant person to deal
with. She was always easily accessible and extremely efficient in dealing
with the various problems involved in the sale.
I do not like giving recommendations but,in this case, I have no hesitation
in recommending Virginia Ramos.

20.R.H United Kingdom ( Inheritance in Spain 2010)

Some years ago, I needed the assistance of a Spanish solicitor to help me in the complex matter of revoking my late father’s Spanish Will.  By chance and good fortune I came across Ms. Ramos. Unfortunately, due to the extreme slowness of the Spanish legal system, my case is yet to be resolved.  However, a cross-border inheritance matter requires much in-depth study and careful consideration.  Ms. Ramos has been meticulous in her handling of my case.  I find her very professional and always quick to respond to my many questions and for me personally, she has gone ‘the extra mile’ in order to achieve a positive result which I feel confident we will, in due course.  I would be happy to recommend Ms. Ramos to resolve any legal problems you may have.’

21.O. Chaudhry UK ( Immigration Law) 2010 

I do highly recommend Ms. Ramos as a legal representative for Spanish laws that are so complex. She made all the legalities easy and completed on time. She simply knew the entire process intimately of the complex Spanish system of laws and immigration. Her work ethics were very professional covering all necessary details. Thank you for all your help in Spain.”
