Private investigation services in Spain

Four areas of work, one standard of evidence: gathered lawfully, documented properly, and signed by a licensed Spanish detective so it can actually be used. You deal with us in English throughout.

It's --:-- in Spain — an investigator is available now.

Personal

When the problem is someone close to you

The cases people bring reluctantly, and usually after weeks of trying to resolve them alone. The common thread is that suspicion is not proof, and acting on suspicion tends to make things worse rather than clearer.


Infidelity investigations

Observation carried out lawfully in public space and recorded in a signed report. Not phone access, which in Spain is a criminal offence.

Cohabitation investigations

Establishing whether two people are living together — frequently the decisive fact in a maintenance dispute, and one that must be documented over time.

Child custody investigations

Documenting circumstances relevant to a custody or contact matter, to the evidential standard proceedings require.

Missing persons and welfare checks

Tracing a relative who stopped answering, confirming an elderly person living alone is well, or locating someone an estate cannot be settled without.

Property

When the problem is a building

Owning property in a country you do not live in creates a specific set of exposures. Almost all of them are cheaper to check than to fix.


Squatter (okupa) eviction support

Documenting who is inside, when they entered and whether the property was a dwelling — the facts your lawyer needs before filing a desahucio.

Rental scam checks

Confirming a property, an agent and a landlord are real before a deposit leaves your account. The cheapest work we do.

Property due diligence

Ownership, charges and encumbrances verified at the Registro de la Propiedad, plus what the documents alone will not tell you.

Tenant screening

Establishing who you are actually letting to, before a problem becomes a court process.

Corporate

When the problem is a business matter

Instructed by employers, insurers and companies where a decision has to be defensible as well as correct.


Sick-leave fraud

Documenting activity inconsistent with a declared incapacity, lawfully and proportionately, so the resulting decision withstands challenge.

Debtor tracing

Locating debtors and establishing what they hold in Spain, so enforcement is aimed at something real.

Employee background checks

Verifying qualifications, employment history and declarations — before the appointment, not after the incident.

Bug sweeping (TSCM)

Technical sweeps of premises and vehicles where there is reason to suspect surveillance.

Legal & financial

When the problem is money or an estate

Much of this work is instructed by solicitors and notaries rather than directly. Instructing as a law firm


Inheritance investigations

Heir tracing and asset searches, for estates that have stopped because nobody can find the beneficiaries or nobody can find what the deceased held.

Fraud and scam investigations

Identifying who is actually behind a fraud and what they hold in Spain. We locate and document; recovery is a legal step, not an investigative one.

Process serving

Serving documents on a party in Spain, with a signed record of when, where and on whom — including where the subject is avoiding it.

Surveillance

The underlying discipline behind most of the above: lawful observation, documented to a standard that survives challenge.

What every instruction has in common


01

A legitimacy check first

We verify there is a lawful basis before accepting tracing or surveillance work. If there is not, we say so and stop — and we do not charge for reaching that conclusion.

02

A licensed signature

Every report is signed by a detective holding TIP nº 6496. Without that licence a report is not admissible in Spain, whatever it contains.

03

A quote before anything starts

From €1,200 plus VAT, priced per case rather than by the hour, so there is no open meter and no surprise invoice.

04

Everything in English

From the first call to the finished report, with the Spanish system explained rather than assumed.

Confidential · No obligation · No cost

Not sure which one you need?

Most people aren't, and it doesn't matter. Describe what has happened and we'll tell you what can lawfully be established, what it would take, and whether it is likely to get you where you need to be.
