Gail..As an American it was hugely important for us to find an English speaking attorney who would calmly walk us through the whole process. We had some legal difficulties transferring funds from the United States and it was causing us acute timeline anxieties, so much so that we almost called off the purchase until we found Hugo online.. From the start he was incredibly warm, attentive and professional, he was able to put all the right people in contact for the sale to finally go through on time and without a hitch.. We were so grateful and will most certainly be using his services again, he has quickly become a valued personal friend to us both.. We will happily recommend him to anybody ...Gail and Eddie

Hugo is a gem! I have relied on Hugo for over 17 years with a difficult house purchase and obtaining residency, amongst other services. He is not just a great lawyer but he's a real good coach and a calming influence. I also regard him as a great friend. I can recommend without hesitation.

I cannot recommend Hugo highly enough. He helped me with buying my first property here in Spain. As an Irish person I needed someone who not only knew all about purchasing property but could speak English. Hugo was great at keeping me in the loop and communicating what was happening during the signing for the property. When an unexpected discrepancy was found in the contract on the day which we had not been told about, he argued very well in my favor and secured a great outcome. He offers excellent legal support and I'll have no trouble recommending him in the future.

I highly recommend to work with Hugo. We are so happy that we found him, thanks to the reviews here, he got our attention very quickly. Every step was perfect and he was on top of everything. It is really important to have someone like Hugo that takes control, but also makes sure to assist and keep you informed during every stage.

We contacted Hugo in a stressful and time sensitive situation where we’d already signed a reservation contract on a property and the clock was ticking to complete our due diligence but our previous lawyer had become unresponsive.Hugo jumped into action immediately, asking to be introduced to our agent, the sellers agent and our architect. He was proactive and decisive in informing us on which documents we needed to start requesting. He kept us informed and up to date on the conversations he’d been having with the involved parties.From the first moment, Hugo conveys a sense of calm, respect, trustworthiness, diligence and professionalism. This was apparent to the other parties involved also. It is clear that Hugo enjoys and cares about his work and cares about your satisfaction as a client.We’re very happy with the choice we made to retain Hugo’s services to help us purchase our property and we would absolutely recommend him.

Hugo helped me complete a property purchase which was not so straightforward, but I felt confident and reassured throughout the whole process.As you can imagine It’s not easy buying a property 🏡 in another country, there’s many pitfalls and unknowns but Hugo was always quick to answer any questions or fears which is exactly what I needed during this long process. I can highly recommend him to anyone that needs a property lawyer you won’t be disappointed. 😀

Hugo Navarrete - EsquireIn the past, I have dealt with many European professionals. As an American citizen, the issue, really, is the lack of promptness. You never really know what they are doing, if they are working on your case. You have to do this carousel of inquiries to find the status of your case. Communication which needs to be essential is non-existent.Our fellow Esquire Hugo Navarrete, has none of the aforementioned qualities.A good man, who takes care of business. Most recommended.

I had problems with my tenants in my rental apartment, so I was looking for a property lawyer in Barcelona and discovered Hugo 's profile. I asked some highly specific questions and I can tell he is quite knowledgable in this field. He is direct, precise, professional and more than anything, approachable. Highly recommended.

We recently bought a property in Sitges and needed a lawyer. My husband found Hugo recommended on the British Consulate website. We were living in Germany and found Hugo very responsive via email in the run up to coming over here. He very diligently and expertly dealt with the very complicated paperwork and accompanied us to both of our appointments with the notary. We consistently felt that Hugo was on our side and working very hard in our best interests, through some complicated negotiations with the notary. We trusted him completely to do what was best for us, and to know the exact details of the laws. Moreover, Hugo gives a very personal service; he is kind and open, and even wowed our sons with his magic tricks! He shared our special first afternoon in our new house with us, something we will always remember. We could not have completed the house purchase without him, and feel very lucky that we found him. Thank you, Hugo!

When leaving our prior rental apartment, our landlord tried to mandate we pay a penalty that the rental agent told us at contract signing was not applicable to us. This resulted in a contractual dispute which required legal expertise; this is how we ended working with Hugo. His help was exactly what we needed, and he was very effective at negotiating with the landlord’s legal team to resolve our issue. Ultimately, it was a favorable outcome for us, and this is primarily due to Hugo’s efforts. We would highly recommend him to any that could need similar legal support.

After a bad experience with a well-known lawyer buffet, we found Hugo on Google. We've read all reviews and decided to hire him to help us purchase our first flat in Barcelona. We can't tell how fortunate we were.He guided us through the whole purchase process. He is not only an outstanding lawyer but an excellent person. I can't recommend him highly enough.With his support, buying a flat in Barcelona was a stressless experience! He became our point person for legal advice.

I was struggling to get an answer to a simple but quite specific question about taxes when purchasing a property in Barcelona. Many lawyers made me wait for 1+ months for what was a matter of 3 minutes max. Thank god I found Hugo. I was hoping for a timely paid consultation with him but he simply responded to my email with the answer I was looking for! Just this shows that Hugo is a professional that does not look to take advantage of clients but is actually eager to help and do quality work. Thanks!

Testimonial for Hugo Navarette 19/07/2022My name is Abbie Nisbet- although better known as Abi Fantastic- An English Artist now living in Spain!I have recently been though the whole process of buying my new home in Premia de Mar, on the coast just upfrom Barcelona. I thought and heard from other people that the whole experience of buying property in Spaincan be a very stressful, taxing and a very frustrating thing. Thanks to Hugo this was not the case!Hugo came from a recommendation from a good friend of mine who has used his services in the past- so Iknew from the beginning I was going to be in safe hands. From the first time we met, Hugo’s attitude andpersona was relaxed as well as very professional. Just what I needed!I am now 33 and this is my first time stepping on the property ladder, so all a bit daunting. The money alsocame from the loss of my Father- my best friend in the world, which made the whole thing a very emotionaljourney for me. Hugo was aware of this and I remember the first contract I signed, Hugo was there with me,which made me feel reassured I was signing the right thing- as my Spanish is not the best. I was so elated andhappy after that first meeting with him and he even said how proud my Father would be of me! Very kindindeed. The property is perfect for me- with a lovely big roof terrace I will be building my new Art Studio on.When Hugo came to see the property for the first time, he was so excited for me and could see exactly thepotential I could see, which again made me feel very reassured!Of course, at this point I was thinking things were going a bit too smoothly- even though I believed my Fatherwas watching over me- making this dream of mine come true! So, as I mentioned I had the money there readyand waiting to transfer and pay off the previous owner's mortgage as well as giving him a nice lump sum! - Butthis caused a bit of a stir with the estate agents and especially the Notary. They questioned where my moneyhad come from and just seemed like all round difficult people to deal with. This made me very nervousespecially with the communication barrier. Hugo was there with me every step of the way... to keep me calm,translate wherever necessary and help guide me through the process. When it actually came to sitting aroundthe table with the previous owner and transferring the money... my hands were shaking and just wantedeverything to go as smoothly as possible. Of course, it did not. There was a massive delay with my moneygetting across and there seemed to be no proof coming through that the payment had been made. The Notarywas NOT happy and was saying she may even refuse the sale all together. Hugo was the man of the hour. Hekept me calm, he kept the Notary calm(ish) and suggested we all go for lunch to take some time and comeback and see if the money had cleared. I was getting a flight out of Spain the next day so it really had to be thatday! Thankfully the money did clear but still with no receipt. With thanks so Hugo the Notary let us exchange, Iwas allowed to take my new keys and promise the Notary I would go straight to my bank in the morningbefore heading to the airport to get them to send over the official receipt and proof of payment. This reallywas all thanks to Hugo’s calm persuasion! I would have been very lost in this moment without him!Since then, Hugo has kindly helped me with the final bits.... organising the last fees and payments... and I canhonestly say I now have a new lovely friend in him after all of this!I will be highly recommending him to any family and friends who may need his lovely calm, professionalexpertise in the future!BIG THANKS Hugo!My sincerest gratitude..... Abi Fantastic

Hugo managed the conveyancing of my flat in Poble Sec in Barcelona. He also managed the original purchase of the property and I had no doubt I wanted Hugo to complete the legal part of the sale. There were some tricky issues with the sale but Hugo managed each step efficiently and creatively, advising about the Cedula de Habitibilidad and liaising with the buyer's lawyer throughout the process. As I live in Germany Hugo acted for me using powers of attorney which meant I did not have to come to Barcelona. This was a great help. Hugo is the ultimate professional. He has a deep knowledge of the legal system and advises you at every stage what is required and where you are with the process.

Hugo gave me a second opinion on my current case and I got answers and solutions, which I wasn’t given in 18 months! Apart from Hugo being very knowledgeable, he is easy to talk to (regardless of the seriousness of the topic) and his heart is in the right place. I am very pleased I came across him and I definitely 100% recommend his services. 5 stars are nearly not enough! Thank you Hugo!

If you are purchasing a place in Barcelona then you need Hugo by your side - I'd give him 6/5 if I could. I absolutely cannot recommend his services more - as an expat living and buying in a language I'm less than perfect in, having Hugo there to make sure everything was done correctly as well as giving sound advice was exactly what we needed.

Hugo was extremely quick and efficient when helping me with a legal issue regarding a residence in Barcelona. He dealt with my problem with great professionalism and he pursued my claim with great importance and acclaim. Hugo speaks in fluent English, therefore he was able to assist me with great precision and efficiency. He made me feel confident and respected as a client and I would highly recommend him to others. An all round great professional!
