Buyer guide

Buying property in Marbella

A practical overview for international buyers preparing to search, compare locations and purchase a home on the Costa del Sol.

Define your property brief

Begin with the intended use of the property, preferred locations, budget, number of bedrooms and essential lifestyle requirements. Separate genuine priorities from useful extras such as sea views, walking distance to amenities, a private pool or golf access. A clear brief makes the search more focused while leaving enough flexibility to compare suitable alternatives.

Compare locations for daily life

Marbella and the western Costa del Sol contain very different neighbourhoods. Consider travel times, schools, shops, medical services, beach access, nightlife, community facilities and how the area feels throughout the year. We can help you compare locations before arranging a practical viewing schedule.

Plan the complete purchase budget

Allow for more than the advertised price. Depending on the property and transaction, the total can include applicable taxes, legal work, notary and registration expenses, financing, surveys, furnishing and future community charges. Independent legal and financial advisers should confirm the figures that apply to your circumstances.

From viewings to completion

Once the shortlist is agreed, we can coordinate private visits or video viewings and help compare the properties on a consistent basis. Before reserving or signing, buyers should use an independent lawyer to verify the property and documentation. We remain available to coordinate with the appointed professionals through the purchase process.

Frequently asked questions

Property purchase questions

Can non-residents buy property in Spain?

International and non-resident buyers commonly purchase property in Spain. Administrative, tax and financing requirements vary, so obtain independent legal and tax advice for your personal circumstances.

What additional purchase costs should I allow for?

Costs depend on the property and transaction. They can include taxes, legal fees, notary and registration expenses, financing costs and other professional services. Your independent advisers should provide a personalised estimate before you commit.

Should I use an independent lawyer?

Independent legal advice is strongly recommended. The appointed lawyer can verify ownership and documentation, review contracts, explain obligations and coordinate the legal steps of the purchase on your behalf.

Can I arrange a mortgage in Spain?

Financing may be available to resident and non-resident buyers, subject to the lender’s criteria and the property valuation. Speak with qualified lenders or mortgage advisers early so your budget and timeline are realistic.

Can you organise remote or video viewings?

Where practical, we can arrange live video viewings and provide additional property material. Before committing remotely, ensure the property, documentation, contract and payment instructions are independently verified.
