Much More Than Finding a Property in Spain
We’re not your typical estate agency, a law firm or simply mortgage brokers.
And perhaps that’s exactly what makes our approach a little different.
We bring together the different stages of buying property in Spain, helping you navigate the process with one dedicated team by your side.
But to explain what we actually do, I’d first like to share a little about how it all started.
Our Experience Goes Far Beyond Finding Properties
If you’ve ever bought a property in Spain, you’ll know that finding the right home is only one part of the journey.
There’s paperwork, banks, mortgages, contracts, taxes, deadlines, notaries, land registries and plenty of other details that all need to come together.
Since 2015, we’ve been buying and managing properties for our own portfolio in Spain. Along the way, we’ve faced all sorts of situations that taught us to look at buying property as one complete process, rather than a collection of separate tasks.
Having spent 15 years living in London, we also know what it’s like to buy property in Spain whilst living abroad. The distance, the paperwork, dealing with banks and trying to organise everything from another country can certainly make things interesting!
Those experiences gave us a much broader understanding of the Spanish property market and, more importantly, how every stage of a purchase connects to the next.
In the property market, you’ll find estate agents, mortgage brokers, solicitors and other professionals who specialise in different parts of the buying process.
But finding a team that brings together practical knowledge of the whole process and personally supports you from beginning to end isn’t quite so common. We’d even go as far as saying our approach is rather unusual, unique! 😄
Unlike many traditional estate agencies, we don’t simply refer you to a mortgage broker, a paperwork specialist or another company every time something needs doing. We handle the different stages of your property purchase ourselves, in-house, with our own team. From NIE applications and mortgage arrangements to property searches, contracts and notary coordination, we’re personally involved throughout the process.
Of course, banks, notaries, valuers and other qualified professionals carry out their own legally required roles. But the organisation, paperwork, communication and follow-up? That’s us, not a collection of outsourced companies.
The difference is that you don’t have to coordinate all of this on your own.
You have one dedicated team following your purchase, familiar with your circumstances, your documents, the agreements you’ve made and everything that still needs to be sorted out.
It’s this bigger-picture approach, built on our own experience as property buyers and investors, that makes the way we work a little different.
So, What Exactly Do We Do?
We take care of the entire property buying process in Spain, from the initial paperwork and property search right through to completion.
And when we say take care of it, we mean it. We prepare forms, check documents, arrange appointments, deal with banks, follow up on applications and coordinate everything in between.
In many cases, all our clients need to do is provide the necessary information, review and sign the documents we prepare, and leave the rest to us.
Whether you’re buying from abroad or already living in Spain, our aim is simple: to take as much of the work and hassle off your shoulders as possible.
Planning Your Purchase
We assess your circumstances, budget and property requirements, work out the practical steps involved and organise a clear plan for your purchase.
NIE Applications
We prepare your NIE application, complete the forms, organise the required documentation and arrange appointments where available, managing the process on your behalf wherever permitted.
Spanish Bank Accounts
We deal directly with the bank, prepare the required paperwork and coordinate the account-opening process, including any additional documentation the bank may request.
Spanish Mortgages
We assess your financing options, put together your mortgage application, prepare and check the documents and liaise directly with the bank throughout the approval process.
Property Search
We actively search for suitable properties, contact estate agents and developers, gather information and shortlist homes that match your budget and requirements.
Property Viewings
We organise viewings, visit properties and provide detailed feedback, photos and videos. We can also attend on your behalf when you’re unable to travel to Spain.
Reservations & Contracts
We coordinate reservations and deposit agreements, prepare or arrange the necessary documentation and follow up on agreed conditions, payments and deadlines.
Property Documentation
We obtain and examine relevant property documents, check for outstanding paperwork and follow up with the parties involved to resolve issues before completion, involving qualified specialists where required.
Mortgage Valuations
When a bank valuation is required, we arrange it with an approved valuation company, coordinate access to the property and follow up until the report is delivered.
Bank Coordination
We handle communication with the bank, respond to documentation requests, monitor deadlines and coordinate the mortgage formalities once financing has been approved.
Notary Arrangements
We liaise with the notary, bank, sellers and other parties, organise the required paperwork, arrange signing appointments and coordinate preparations for completion day.
Completing Your Purchase
We coordinate the final stages of your purchase, follow up on outstanding requirements and help ensure everything is ready for the transfer of ownership and collection of your keys.
What Our Clients Say About Us
Everyone who comes to us has their own story and their own reasons for buying a property in Spain. Some are looking for a fresh start, others dream of a holiday home or a place to invest.
But don’t just take our word for it! Here’s what some of our clients have to say about their experience with us.
Cassiana & Ricardo
MARTIN & DUDA
JHONNY & MAGDALENA
RACHEL & MAURICIO
FABIO & DERLIANE – via POA
CAIO & FERNANDA
NATALIE & DIEGO
BRUNO & MARCIA
JULLIA & VINICIUS
Over the years, we’ve helped hundreds of people from around the world buy their own place in Spain. We’d love to share all their stories, but it’s not always possible!
Some of our clients prefer to keep things private. Others have high-profile careers and would rather stay out of the spotlight. And some simply don’t want their boss finding out they’ve already bought a little place in the Spanish sunshine! 😄
Whatever the reason, we completely understand and respect their privacy. That’s why we’re especially grateful to those who take the time to leave us a review or share their experience.

What’s Not Included?
Our work is focused on taking care of your property purchase in Spain, from beginning to end. To avoid any confusion, here are a few services we don’t provide.
Can I hire you just to obtain an NIE or open a bank account?
We don’t normally offer individual services such as NIE applications, bank account opening or mortgage arrangements on their own.
These are all part of our Complete Property Buying Service, where we manage the different stages of your purchase together.
By handling the process from the start, we know exactly what’s been done, what’s still outstanding and how each step affects the next.
Can you take over a property purchase I’ve already started?
Generally, we prefer to be involved from the beginning rather than taking over a purchase that’s already underway.
When agreements have already been signed or arrangements made by other parties, we may not have a complete picture of the commitments involved.
It’s about keeping the process properly organised and protecting everyone involved.
Do you help with renting properties in Spain?
No, our services are focused on property purchases rather than residential rentals.
Whether you’re buying a permanent home, a holiday property or an investment, that’s where our experience and services are concentrated.
Do you offer relocation services?
We don’t provide general relocation services such as organising removals, finding schools or managing the practical arrangements of moving to another country.
However, if moving to Spain involves buying a property, we can take care of the property purchase side of your plans.
Do you handle visas or Spanish residency applications?
No, visa applications, residency permits, nationality applications and other immigration procedures are not part of our property buying service.
If you need assistance with immigration matters, we can put you in touch with an independent specialist lawyer. Any such service would be arranged separately.
