Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola and Málaga: one adviser who doesn't rotate, and five services under a single engagement.
Who are we, exactly?
A family-run estate agency working one stretch of the Costa del Sol — Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola and Málaga.
We're a family-run estate agency working the Torremolinos stretch of the coast, helping buyers, sellers and investors.
What makes us different isn't size — it's that one bilingual advisor handles your entire journey, supported by an in-house team covering court appraisals, holiday let management, EPC, renovations and Modelo 210.
Personal service: same advisor from first call to notary signing — and, if you hire rental management, for years after. We meet you at the property, anywhere in the area we cover, or on a video call while you are still in the UK. Written engagement letter before any work, no break-up penalties.
Local knowledge, personal attention and integrated legal services on the Costa del Sol.
Why choose us over an international brand?
Five real differences from the global brands and franchise networks — ask us to prove any of them on the first call.
Same advisor end-to-end
Continuity from first call to keys and beyond. International brands rotate your agent by commission tier; we do not.
Integrated legal & technical services
Court appraisal, LAU compliance, Modelo 210, EPC and renovation under one engagement. One contact, no external referrals.
Transparent fees before signing
Written fee schedule before any commitment. Up to 30% lower than international brands for equivalent service.
On the ground where you are buying
We work Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola and Málaga in person — we see the block, the entrance and the street before valuing. Most international brands sit in Marbella; portals never visit the building at all.

Two flagship services with dedicated detail
The two services that set us most apart from the international brands deserve their own breakdown. Here's exactly what each one includes.

A flagship service for civil proceedings: divorces, inheritances, damages, expropriations and contradictory expert reports.

Technical report with evidentiary value in court. Standard 15-21 days, urgent 5-7 days.
Contradictory appraisal against opposing expert
Counters the opposing party's appraisal. Essential when the disputed value exceeds 30% of your position.

How do we work with you?
Four simple steps with one contact. No sales pressure, everything in writing before we start.

Step 1 — Free initial consultation
Discovery call, video call or an in-person meeting at the property — anywhere in the area we cover. No obligation. We listen to your needs, legal status and timeline.
2
Step 2 — Personalised plan in writing within 48-72h
You receive a written plan with services, committed timelines and fixed fees. We review it and only then sign.
3
Step 3 — Coordinated execution, single contact
Your advisor coordinates surveyor, lawyer, EPC technician, renovation team, gestoría and notary. Updates by email, WhatsApp or call.
4
Step 4 — Post-completion follow-up
After completion we stay in touch. If you hire rental management, for years thereafter with monthly statements.
Who do we work with — and in which languages?
We serve clients in English and Spanish with a native bilingual team. Verifiable, not Google Translate.
British and Irish buyers are our largest international segment: post-Brexit specialists handling NIE, Modelo 210, UK-Spain dual taxation, non-resident mortgages and currency exchange via a partner with preferential rates.
We also serve Scandinavian, German, Dutch and French EU buyers (simpler residency, similar fiscal needs) and international investors needing yield analysis and fiscal structuring.
It widens the buyer pool and removes contract misunderstandings that cost real money.

Frequently asked questions
The questions UK and Irish buyers ask before hiring an estate agent on the Costa del Sol. Direct answers.
Are estate agents in Spain reliable?
Most are, but quality varies. Look for AICAT membership, comparables they will actually show you, written fees and certified bilingual staff. We tick all these plus court appraisals and turnkey renovation.
What are the fees for estate agents in Spain?
Typically 3-6% of sale price + 21% VAT. Costa del Sol average 4-5%. Covers valuation, photography, portals, viewings and notary. With us, fees are agreed in writing before the assignment.
Is now a good time to buy on the Costa del Sol?
In 2026 international demand stays strong (UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, Germany) and prices keep rising in prime locations. With a 5+ year horizon, yes.
What is the NIE and do I need one to buy property in Spain?
The NIE is the Spanish tax ID required for any non-Spanish citizen buying property or opening a bank account. Apply via consulate at home or in person in Spain (3-5 weeks). We coordinate it — most UK buyers receive it in 4-6 weeks.
How has Brexit affected buying property in Spain for UK citizens?
Brexit didn't restrict UK buyers — Spain still welcomes non-EU buyers with the same property rights. Changes: 90/180-day rule, Golden Visa (€500k+ grants residency), ETIAS authorisation (€7) effective 2026, dual-taxation on rental income.
What is Modelo 210 and how do I pay non-resident property tax?
Modelo 210 is the Spanish non-resident income tax return. File annually for personal use (1.1-2% of cadastral × 19%) and quarterly if rented. We offer fiscal representation: quarterly and annual so you never miss a deadline.
What is dual taxation between UK and Spain on property?
The UK-Spain Double Taxation Treaty prevents paying tax twice. Rental income: declare in both, pay in Spain first (Modelo 210), UK gives a foreign tax credit on Self Assessment. A bilingual advisor coordinates both filings.
Can I get a Spanish mortgage as a non-resident UK buyer?
Yes. Max LTV 60-70% (vs 80% for residents), terms 25-30 years, fixed or Euribor-linked. You need NIE, income proof, bank statements, credit report and Spanish bank account. We compare offers across banks.
How does management work for holiday rentals?
Includes VFT licence, marketing on Airbnb/Booking, guest screening, cleaning, maintenance and quarterly Modelo 210. Monthly statements, 24/7 emergency contact. Fees 15-22% of rent.
How do I get an energy certificate (CEE) in Spain?
The CEE is mandatory before selling or renting and registered with the Junta de Andalucía. A qualified technician assigns rating A-G based on consumption and emissions. We coordinate it in 48-72 hours including registration, from €90 for flats up to 80 m².
What is the VFT tourist licence and do I need one?
Mandatory licence to rent to holidaymakers in Andalucía. Requirements: ITE, minimum equipment, Tourism Registry. Without VFT you cannot advertise on Airbnb or Booking; fines €18,000-150,000. We handle the full VFT in 30-45 days.
How do you compare with the big international agency brands?
Continuity (same advisor end-to-end vs commission-tier rotation), integrated services (court appraisal, full management, EPC, renovation, legal in one engagement) and fees (up to 30% lower).
