A buyer’s agent in Spain who works for you alone, from the first viewing to the keys.
Villa Alicante · Costa Blanca
01
We never represent sellers. As your buyers advocate in Spain, our only obligation is to you: maximising your outcome, not a commission that grows with the price you pay. Our fee is set on the asking price before we negotiate, so every euro off the price is yours.

Of the asking price, minimum €7,500
homes from about €300,000
02
Working relationships with local agents, notaries and banks: the access an independent property consultant builds over years and an outside buyer cannot assemble alone. We work with an on-the-ground team across the Spanish markets we cover: IEAF-certified real estate credit informers (Informador en Crédito Inmobiliario, ICI®) and local specialists, 4+ years in Spanish real estate.

Markets we cover
03
We introduce your lawyer and arrange your mortgage in-house, coordinated with the NIE and the notary, so taxes, fees and the legal check are clear before you sign rather than after.

Everything international buyers need to know: taxes, NIE, mortgages, common traps.
Or work out your own numbers first: estimate your purchase costs.
No. We regularly represent buyers who complete entirely remotely. We handle viewings via video, coordinate power of attorney for signing, and manage the full process on your behalf.
Yes. The search is optional, and the fee is the same either way: 2% of the asking price, with a minimum of €7,500. If you have already chosen a property, we start with due diligence, then run the offer, negotiation, contracts and notary for you. If you want help finding one, we search the whole market, off-market listings included.
2% of the asking price, with a minimum of €7,500 and no IVA on top. The fee is fixed on the asking price the day we make your offer, so every euro we negotiate off the price stays with you. It pays for our own work: the search if you want one, the shortlists, the negotiation, and running the purchase for you from abroad. If you need a Spanish mortgage, our in-house team arranges it with your bank at no extra charge. You pay it in three parts. A €2,500 opening fee when you sign with us starts the work on your purchase; it is non-refundable and comes off the fee, not on top of it. The balance is split in two: half at the arras signing, once your lawyer has cleared the property, and half at the signing of the Escritura. Your lawyer, NIE and notary bill you directly, and you see their quote in writing before you instruct them. You can use the lawyers we work with, who are used to buyers living abroad, or bring your own. Taxes (ITP or IVA) and the Land Registry fee are set by the authorities and paid separately. We usually work on homes from about €300,000; below that, ask us.
The listing agent is contracted by the seller: their commission grows with the price you pay. We hold no listings and take nothing from the sale side. Our fee is 2% of the asking price (minimum €7,500), fixed before negotiation begins, so every euro we negotiate off the price is yours. Most of it is paid only once you sign arras on a home, which is why your own lawyer, not us, clears the property first.
Around 2–3 months end to end if we search for you, of which 30–60 days usually run from offer to keys. If you have already found the property, count on the 30–60 days alone. NIE registration and mortgage approval are the longest steps, so we run them in parallel.
Yes. Non-EU buyers face no restrictions on residential purchases. You'll need an NIE number, which we help you obtain early, before or during the search if we run one.
No. Spain abolished its real-estate Golden Visa in April 2025 (Ley Orgánica 1/2025). Non-EU buyers now typically secure residency through the Non-Lucrative Visa or the Digital Nomad Visa.
Yes, with extra diligence. We vet developer track records, review stage-payment schedules, verify bank guarantees, and inspect builds at key milestones.
