WHO WE ARE

Who we are

We are a Costa del Sol estate agency working a single stretch of coast: Torremolinos — Playamar, La Carihuela, El Bajondillo, Montemar — plus Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, Estepona and Málaga capital.

We work with families buying their first home, with landlords selling or renting their property, and with national and international investors generating yield in one of Europe most consistent property markets.

Our value proposition combines three pillars. First, local depth: we know every street, every development, every municipal regulatory peculiarity and the verifiable comparables for each area.

Second, integrated services under a single bilingual point of contact: we cover the full cycle from search and due diligence to post-purchase management and exit strategy, so you do not have to coordinate four or five different intermediaries.

Third, technical honesty: we work with verifiable figures, not aspirational estimates, and we communicate risks with the same clarity we communicate opportunities.

We are not an international franchise with a recognisable brand and fragmented attention. We are a local premium agency with personalised attention where the client deals directly with the senior team who knows the operation end-to-end.

Our reputation is built one instruction at a time: the client who comes back for a second property, the sale that completes on the timeline we quoted, and the referral that follows it.

THE WAY WE WORK
We are not a franchise with a recognisable brand and fragmented attention. We are a local agency where you deal directly with the senior team who knows your operation end to end.

THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK

The Spanish rules that shape every Costa del Sol purchase

Spanish property law changes every few years, and each change moves the tax, the timeline or the paperwork a non-resident owner has to file. Buying from the UK or Ireland means inheriting all of it at once.

This is the framework we work under across Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, Estepona and Málaga capital, and the part of the job we explain before you commit to anything.

10RULES WE APPLY
2026FRAMEWORK IN FORCE
  1. 2008-2013

    The deep correction in Spanish coastal property. Comparables from those years still explain the price floor in certain developments — and why an optimistic valuation does not survive a serious negotiation.

  2. 2013

    Law 8/2013 makes the Energy Performance Certificate compulsory to advertise a property and to complete at the notary, with fines of €300 to €6,000 for doing either without one.

  3. 2016

    Decree 28/2016 regulates holiday lets (VFT) in Andalucía: regional register, licence number displayed in every listing, identification plaque and minimum standards for the property.

  4. 2019

    Royal Decree-Law 7/2019 returns the LAU tenancy to a compulsory five-year term (seven where the landlord is a company) and caps the extra security a landlord may ask for beyond the fianza.

  5. 2021

    Brexit takes effect. A UK non-resident landlord moves from 19% to 24% on gross rental income under Modelo 210 and loses the right to deduct costs — the single biggest change to net yield on this coast in a decade.

  6. 2022

    The Catastro reference value (Law 11/2021) becomes the minimum base for transfer tax. ITP stops being calculated on the agreed price alone, so the figure has to be checked before you sign the arras deposit.

  7. 2023

    Law 12/2023, the housing act: new rules on rent increases and agency fees charged to the landlord rather than the tenant in long-term lettings.

  8. 2024

    Decree 31/2024 revisits the Andalusian holiday-let regime, tightening the standards a VFT property must meet and letting the owners community restrict the activity in the building.

  9. 2025

    Law 1/2025 ends the golden visa route through property investment. Buyers who were purchasing to obtain residency now need a different visa route and, usually, a different ownership structure.

  10. 2026

    The framework as it stands at this review: Decree 31/2024 for holiday lets, the five-year LAU term for long lets, and the Catastro reference value on every purchase. Every figure we publish carries the date it was checked.

HOW WE WORK

How we work: a transparent process step by step

Every client follows a documented process with fixed timelines, clear deliverables and a single bilingual point of contact. No surprises, no fine print.

  1. 01

    Initial briefing with no cost or commitment

    First meeting wherever suits you: at the property itself, at an agreed spot in the area we cover, or by bilingual Spanish-English video call if you are still in the UK or Ireland.

    We listen: what you want, what concerns you, what you tried before, what budget and horizon you have. No cost, no commitment, no commercial pressure. If your need does not fit our services, we tell you honestly.

  2. 02

    Analysis and proposal with verifiable figures

    We deliver within 5-7 working days a personalised analysis of your case with verifiable figures (not aspirational estimates): updated comparables from your area, price/yield scenarios, strategy recommendations and an operational plan for the first year.

    If your decision is to proceed, we sign the mandate with fixed pricing.

  3. 03

    Coordinated execution under a single point of contact

    We coordinate all necessary layers (search, due diligence, surveyor valuation, legal and tax advisory, financing, refurbishment if applicable, post-purchase management) under a single bilingual senior advisor. Less friction, coherent decisions, faster execution.

  4. 04

    Transparent reporting with supporting documentation

    Monthly or quarterly report depending on the operation: gross income, detailed expenses with invoices attached, taxation paid, occupancy if applicable, realised yield, updated comparables. No over-billing, no hidden commissions, no fine print. You can access your dossier at any time.

  5. 05

    Post-completion follow-up and exit when the time comes

    We do not disappear after closing the operation. We accompany you through the post-completion cycle with continuous advisory, annual strategy review and exit strategy planned from entry.

    When the time comes to sell, refinance or transfer generationally, we coordinate the full operation including the post-Brexit refund of the 3% withheld by the buyer to non-resident sellers on final Modelo 210.

WHY US

Why choose us instead of a large international franchise?

Large international franchises (Lucas Fox, Engel & Völkers, Knight Frank, Savills, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices) are legitimate operations with their own advantages. There are, however, operational differences that matter to the real client.

  • Local depth versus brand-name reach

    International franchises bring recognisable brand and global office networks.

    • We bring undivided focus on one stretch of coast, granular knowledge of every street, every owners community and every municipal regulatory peculiarity.
    • For complex operations (judicial appraisal, technical due diligence, value-add with planning permits, post-Brexit tax structuring) local depth matters more than brand-name reach.
  • Integrated services versus multiple intermediaries

    In international franchises you typically coordinate with the agency for the search, an external lawyer for due diligence, an external surveyor for technical valuation, an external tax adviser for Modelo 210, an external property management firm for post-purchase, and yet another agency for eventual sale.

    • We cover the six layers under a single bilingual point of contact, which reduces friction, ensures coherence and accelerates decisions.
  • Direct senior attention versus internal hand-offs

    In large organisations, the client typically enters through a junior advisor who collects briefing and hands off to a senior advisor, who in turn delegates execution to a back-office team.

    • Three voices, three levels, three opportunities for miscoordination.
    • With us, the client deals directly with the senior advisor responsible for the operation end-to-end.
    • Particularly relevant for non-resident clients who cannot easily come in person to clarify hand-offs in person.
  • Honest technical disclosure versus brochure pitch

    Our communication is technical and honest: we tell you the 24% on gross rental income with no deductions that you will pay as UK post-Brexit non-resident, the 11-13% acquisition costs you will add to the price, the 30-40% of gross rent that operating expenses can consume in VFT, the cyclical risks of each strategy, the regulatory uncertainty in declared tense zones.

    • Competition figures tend toward aspirational brochure pitching. Ours tend toward a verifiable spreadsheet.
CASE STUDIES

Case studies

Three recent real operations that exemplify our methodology (data anonymised to protect client privacy).

Judicial property appraisal for divorce proceedings in Torremolinos

Client in divorce proceedings with a community property in La Carihuela. They needed a court-admissible appraisal report for a hearing at the Torremolinos first-instance court with a tight deadline.

We delivered a judicial appraisal report within 7 working days including site visit, verifiable comparables, market analysis and a quantitative conclusion signed by a qualified surveyor.

The report was accepted without objection by the opposing party and supported the marital property liquidation agreement.

Property appraiser service

Full rental management for UK non-resident landlord post-Brexit

British landlord with a two-bedroom flat in Los Boliches Fuengirola who had been self-managing for two years with poor results and constant tenant problems.

We took on the full rental management mandate: tenant turnover with rigorous selection, registered contract, full rent collection and incident management, post-Brexit tax advisory with quarterly Modelo 210 at 24% on gross with no deductions.

The landlord went from 4 hours per month of management to 0.5 hours per month, and from constant problems to a single bilingual point of contact. Commission 8% on gross rent with transparent monthly reporting.

Long-term rental management service

Value-add refurbishment + resale in Málaga Soho

Professional investor with €280,000 own capital seeking a value-add opportunity in Málaga capital. We presented an inheritance property in Soho (3 bedrooms, 95 m², original 1980s condition) at €220,000 off-market.

We ran due diligence in five layers (land registry, cadastre, planning, technical with our in-house surveyor, and community of owners) with no charges or constraints.

We coordinated a full refurbishment with fixed cost of €55,000 and a controlled timeline of 14 weeks. Post-refurbishment marketing was launched with premium positioning.

Sale closed at €348,000 within 11 weeks from end of refurbishment. Return on total cost (purchase + refurbishment + expenses + sales commission) was 22% over a 10-month calendar period.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about us

We answer the most common questions from prospective clients before the first meeting. If your question is not here, contact us directly.

  • We work one stretch of coast and we work all of it, street by street, from our own comparables. Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola and Málaga capital account for our instructions, and that is where our valuations come from.

    For a buyer in the UK or Ireland this matters more than it sounds: the difference between two blocks on the same avenue can be twenty per cent per square metre, and no portal average will tell you which side of the road you are on.

    If we cannot back a figure with a completed sale of the same type nearby, we say so and widen the range instead of guessing.

  • Six differentiating services integrated under a single bilingual point of contact. First, in-house judicial property appraisal (a unique service in the area). Second, full long-term rental management. Third, integrated holiday rental VFT management with licence, channel manager and taxation.

    Fourth, turnkey home renovation coordination. Fifth, express Energy Performance Certificate. Sixth, integrated investor advisory for national and international clients with five-layer pre-purchase due diligence and Spanish SL or individual ownership tax structuring.

  • Active coverage in Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola and Málaga capital. Extension to Mijas, Marbella, Estepona and the rest of Costa del Sol when a project requires it.

    We know the peculiarities of each area: Playamar and La Carihuela in Torremolinos, Puerto Marina in Benalmádena, Los Boliches and Carvajal in Fuengirola, Soho and Teatinos in Málaga capital, and the verifiable yield and comparables ranges of each.

  • Yes, professional Spanish-English bilingual service from first contact through to post-completion follow-up. We do not translate brochures: we speak both languages with technical fluency so that local clients and international clients receive the same level of detail.

    We work daily with clients from the UK (post-Brexit), Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Nordic countries, Germany, the USA, Canada and Latin American countries.

  • Yes. We have an in-house surveyor (perito) integrated into our team with training and experience in court-admissible reports for the first-instance and family courts of Málaga and province. We produce appraisals for divorces, inheritances, mortgage foreclosures, expropriations and asset division.

    Full technical report in 5-10 working days with site visit, verifiable comparables and a signed quantitative conclusion. A unique service in the area: no other agency has an integrated in-house surveyor.

  • We come to you, within the area we cover. We meet at the property or at an agreed point nearby, which is the useful place to be anyway — you want to see the block, the entrance and the street before anyone talks about price.

    A typical viewing trip is two or three days and we build the schedule around your flights, in Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola or Málaga capital.

    If you cannot travel at all, we run the whole purchase by bilingual Spanish-English video call, with notarial power of attorney so your solicitor can sign the escritura on your behalf. Contact routes and hours are on the contact page.

  • Four operational differences that matter. Local depth versus brand-name reach: undivided focus on one stretch of coast versus offices across multiple countries.

    Integrated services versus multiple intermediaries: agency + lawyer + surveyor + tax adviser + property manager + sales agency in franchises versus a single bilingual point of contact with us.

    Direct senior attention versus internal hand-offs between junior, senior and back-office advisers. Honest technical disclosure versus brochure pitch: verifiable figures and risk communication versus glossy commercial positioning.

  • Yes. Five integrated layers. Professional bilingual Spanish-English service.

    Full non-resident tax knowledge (quarterly Modelo 210 at 19% EU/EEA or 24% non-EU post-Brexit, 3% depreciation deduction on construction value when applicable, 3% buyer withholding on non-resident sale refundable at exit, ITP 7% Andalusia versus VAT 10% new build, dual taxation treaty with main jurisdictions including UK and USA).

    Notarial power of attorney representation when the client cannot travel for completion. Quarterly digital reporting with supporting documentation. Spanish SL patrimonial or individual ownership tax structuring optimised by country of residence.

    Specialist post-Brexit advisory for UK landlords (the often-underestimated 50-80% effective tax increase from the loss of EU/EEA status since 1 January 2021).
