A Trusted Partner in Spanish Real Estate Transactions
The Costa del Sol is one of Europe’s most sought-after residential regions, where a sunny climate, contemporary architecture, and an international lifestyle come together. With more than 300 days of sunshine each year, the region offers the opportunity to enjoy outdoor living almost all year round.
For property buyers, it is important not only to appreciate the beauty of the area but also to understand how the market functions. In recent years, the Costa del Sol real estate market has been rapidly developing and strongly focused on new-build projects, with demand exceeding supply and quality properties selling quickly. This creates solid conditions both for purchasing a home and for long-term investment.
We help you find a property that matches your goals, whether it is a beachfront apartment, a villa with mountain views, or a thoughtfully designed new development. Popular areas such as Marbella, Estepona, Mijas, and Sotogrande each offer their own unique character, and our role is to help you make an informed and confident choice.
In addition to finding the right property, we provide personalised support in English throughout the entire process – from initial advice and area orientation to the completion of the notarial transaction. With excellent access to international schools, modern healthcare, and Málaga Airport, the Costa del Sol is an attractive and secure choice for many international buyers.

Marko: I am extremely satisfied with Reelika’s services! She is very pleasant and easy to communicate with, positive, thorough, and fast, and she always goes one step further than expected. What I personally appreciated most, however, was that she is not only a real estate agent but also almost like a guide – sharing highly valuable additional insights about different areas in great detail. From restaurants, entertainment, cultural and sports facilities, and events to all kinds of small but important details, including local development plans and future prospects – this extra information helped me navigate a foreign country much more confidently and reach clarity much faster about where I wanted to buy my home. Thank you, Reelika!25 November 2025
Stages of the Property Purchase
Buying property in Spain may initially seem complex, as the process differs from common practices in Estonia. In cooperation with trusted local partner agencies, we provide guidance in Estonian from the initial consultation through to receiving the keys, and, if desired, also after the purchase process is complete.
Consultation and Needs Assessment
During the consultation, we clarify your goals, expectations, and possibilities regarding the purchase of property on the Costa del Sol. We discuss your budget, timeline, preferred areas, and whether you are looking for a home for permanent living, a holiday property, or an investment.
Property Viewings and Initial Selection
Before presenting specific properties, we conduct a thorough market review and identify areas and price levels that align with the client’s goals. Based on this analysis, we shortlist properties that meet expectations in terms of quality, location, and budget. This results in a carefully considered and well-founded initial selection, providing a solid basis for further decision-making.
Viewings and Final Selection
During the viewings, we present the selected properties on site. We help assess each property’s strengths, layout, location, and how well it aligns with your goals.
Legal Due Diligence
Once a selection has been made, a reservation agreement is signed to confirm that the property is reserved and removed from the market. The agreed price and terms are fixed at this stage. The reservation fee is typically between €3,000 and €10,000 and is later deducted from the final purchase price.
Before signing the preliminary agreement, our legal partner carries out a thorough review of the property, including ownership rights, any outstanding debts or encumbrances, building permits and occupancy licences, compliance of the project with local regulations, homeowners’ association terms, as well as applicable taxes and fees.
Preliminary Agreement (Private Purchase Contract)
After the legal due diligence has been completed, a preliminary agreement is signed with the seller.
At this stage, the purchase terms are confirmed and the first instalment is paid, typically 10% of the purchase price. In the case of new developments, the construction timeline and payment schedule are also agreed upon.
Notarial Completion and Transfer of Ownership
The notary verifies the accuracy of the documentation, registers the transaction in the official registry, and ensures that ownership is transferred to the buyer without hidden risks. After completion, the keys are handed over.
