Buying a home on the Costa del Sol, with someone on your side

A holiday home by the sea, or the place you plan to live. We work for you from the first shortlist to the keys, and on every property you know who we work for, with a lawyer and a tax adviser on the team from day one.

Two kinds of buyers, one priority

A home for the holidays. A beach apartment or villa you will enjoy for weeks at a time, and that is easy to look after when you are away.

A home to live in. You are moving here, now or in a few years, and need the right area, schools, services and a sensible budget.

Either way, the priority is the same: the right property at the right price, legally sound, with no surprises after you sign.

The seller has an agent. Now so do you.

On the Costa del Sol, almost every agent works for the seller and is paid to close the sale. As your buyer’s agent, we work for you. You see every property that fits your brief, including those listed by other agencies, and before each viewing you know exactly what we will earn if you buy it.

How we help you buy

  • Strategy and budget. Which areas fit your plans, what your budget really buys, and the total cost including taxes and fees.
  • Search and shortlist. Listings from all agencies and off-market opportunities, filtered so you only view what makes sense.
  • Negotiation. We negotiate price and conditions on your behalf, with market data behind every offer.
  • Legal and technical checks. Title, debts, licences, community fees and the condition of the building, checked before you commit.
  • Tax and financing. Purchase taxes, ownership structure and mortgage options explained clearly, with trusted mortgage partners if you need one.
  • Completion and after. NIE, bank account, notary, utilities and, if you wish, someone to look after the property when you are away.

Your buying questions,
answered

Do you only show your own listings?

No. We search the whole market, including properties listed by other agencies and off-market homes.

We agree a fixed scope and fee in writing before we start, and you always know in advance what we earn on each property.

Yes. Most of our clients do. We run viewings by video and can act for you with a power of attorney.

Not necessarily. If you need one, we work with trusted mortgage advisers and coordinate the bank’s valuation and timing.
