Here Are the 5 Key Steps You Shouldn’t Skip

1. Do Your Homework

Before making a commitment, take time to deeply explore Costa del Sol—its lifestyle, climate, neighborhoods, infrastructure, and safety. Understanding the region’s culture and real estate market is crucial to finding the right fit for you. Our team will be your trusted resource throughout your research.

2. Define Your Budget

Set a realistic budget based on your current financial situation. Don’t just focus on the property’s price—be sure to factor in taxes, community fees, ongoing maintenance costs, and legal expenses. We’ll help you understand all the numbers upfront, so there are no surprises down the road.

3. Work With Local Professionals

Having experienced professionals on your side can make all the difference. A local real estate advisor or lawyer with expertise in Spanish property law is essential. The AMA team in Marbella will guide you through legal requirements, ownership rights, and the whole process, ensuring everything is handled correctly.

4. Visit the Property in Person

Whenever possible, travel to see the property for yourself. There’s no better way to get a feel for the location, check the condition of the home, and see if it truly matches your lifestyle goals. We’ll schedule viewings, accompany you during visits, and help you evaluate every aspect of the property and its surroundings.

5. Understand Tax Implications

Taxes can differ depending on your country of residence and your plans in Spain. From property taxes to capital gains, it’s vital to understand the financial responsibilities that come with your purchase. We’ll connect you with expert tax advisors so you’re fully informed and prepared to make sound decisions.
