This page covers privacy, terms of engagement, and cookies. It is written in plain language because at our tier the relationship between principal and adviser is too important for legalese. If anything here is unclear, write — we will answer the same way.
Privacy.
When you contact Royal Estates — through the inquiry form, the mandate page, an email, or a meeting — we hold the information you give us in order to do the work. Name, contact details, the specification of your brief, and, where the engagement progresses, the source-of-funds and KYC documentation required by law.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. We do not put you on a mailing list. We do not market to your inbox. If we use a third-party tool — a notary, a tax counsel, an escrow agent, a bank — to complete a mandate, only the data necessary for that party to do their work is shared, under the standing confidentiality terms of European practice.
You may, at any time, ask us to show you what we hold, correct it, or delete it. Write to office@royalestates.luxe with the request. We respond within twenty-four hours and complete the action within thirty days (the limit set by GDPR; usually faster).
For mandates that move forward, we retain the engagement file for the period required by AML legislation in the relevant jurisdiction — typically five to seven years from the close of the transaction. After that, the file is destroyed.
Terms of engagement.
Royal Estates acts as a private adviser. Each engagement is formalised in a short written mandate before substantive work begins. The mandate names the principal, the scope (acquisition or disposition), the geography, the budget range, the fee, and the exclusivity terms. Nothing on this website constitutes a binding offer — every transaction is conditional on the mandate document, the principal's own counsel, and the closing instruments under the applicable jurisdiction.
Property descriptions on the public catalog are correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of writing. Final particulars — exact measurements, encumbrances, title status, urbanistic position — are confirmed during due diligence with the principal's counsel. Renderings and architectural visuals on this site, where present, are illustrative.
We do not provide tax, immigration, or legal advice. Where an engagement requires any of these, we coordinate with the principal's standing counsel, or introduce one we trust. The principal retains the counsel directly; we do not stand in the middle of that relationship.
AML and source-of-funds.
Every mandate is screened to AML5 standards. Source-of-funds documentation is required before structuring begins on any transaction we advise. For crypto-funded acquisitions, conversion and reporting are handled by named legal partners under regulated escrow, with full audit trail.
If a source-of-funds answer is unsatisfactory, we decline. We do not negotiate this.
Cookies.
This site uses a small number of strictly necessary cookies — for example, to remember whether you have dismissed a notice, or to render the page correctly on the device you are using. We do not run advertising trackers, behavioural pixels, or third-party analytics that follow you off the site. We do not need to know which other websites you visit.
If we add a measurement tool in future (Plausible-style, privacy-respecting, no cookies, IP-anonymised), we will note it here.
Jurisdiction.
Royal Estates operates from Marbella, Spain. The website and any engagement entered through it are governed by Spanish and European law. Each individual transaction is conducted under the law of the jurisdiction in which the property sits, with notaries and counsel licensed in that jurisdiction.
