Hello 

I have just bought an apartment in Benalmedina and like you I scouted through the internet and find a few that I wanted to see when I came over.  

I found that many Agents are offering the same properties as well as the ones you may select. However most have access to the same properties on line so you have to insist on seeing where each of them want to take you before agreeing to go out with them.

After a few mishaps however I used a Company called Estates in the Sun who were pretty good there. The guy that took me round was called Drew and can be contacted on [email protected] . Drew was very helpful and even found a very good Solicitor to do all the legal stuff as well.

Hope this helps

Maria 

Thank you I'll contact him

Good Afternoon

We are new to this forum (having been lurking for a couple of weeks) and would like to introduce ourselves. 

We are a pair of old age perishers who have finally given up on the UK weather and we have decided to move to the Estepona area to spend some time in the sun 

 We are looking for an apartment or town house with 2 bedroom & 2 bathrooms and have set a budget of 120,000 Euros due to a number of factors inc Brexit, but we would increase this for the right property

We have made contact with a couple of agents via the net and frankly we are not impressed. Perhaps I should say that in a past business life we were property agents and developers in the Costa Brava for twenty years so although we have been out of the business for many years we do have some insight and knowledge. 

My reason for posting here is that I'd like to connect with a good professional agent who can take our instructions and source properties for us.

We are returning to the area in March and will wish to view then.

If you think you can help us please pm me and I'll send you a full spec of what we are looking for.


Good morning Sir.

I have a few properties in Estepona that may be of your interest plus I work with most of the agents in La Costa del Sol, which gives me the chance to offer clients every single property in the coast. How would it be the best way for me to send you the info of the properties?

Hi Jade 

Here is the spec I said I'f send you 

We are a retired couple who have finally given up on the UK weather and have decided to spend at least 6 months of the year in the Estepona area.

I'm 69 years of age and my wife is 66 so we want to keep the investment we make to around 100,000 -120,00 Euros maximum, (less would be better) due to our age and also the uncertainty of the Brexit situation.

We have a reasonable knowledge of the area as we holiday there a couple of times each year but our knowledge of living in the area etc. is basic so we are looking for a professional agent to help us find a property in the right area for long term living .  


Here are our basic property specs


Property Specifications

Area. Estepona,  Casares Playa, Bahai  , Dequesa, New Golden Mile, (other areas considered.)

Property Apartment

2 Bedrooms 2 Bathrooms, Minimum 90sqm living area.

Large terrace with open aspect view of garden, golf course, mountain or sea. We have no interest in properties that look directly out onto other buildings

Garage / Parking space, If possible storage room.

If apartment is above ground floor a lift would be an advantage .

For Town houses the same spec as above with but with a roof solarium.

We are interested in new, repo and resale. Like everybody we are looking for the perfect property at a bargain price, however we are realistic. Although we would prefer a property we could move into we won't dismiss properties that need some work doing if the position and price is right

We are returning to the area on the 14th March until 30th March with the sole intention of looking at property and we are drawing up a shortlist before we arrive.

Here are some links we have found for properties in our price range, of course this selection is based just on internet descriptions, your observations would be appreciated

Of course these properties have only been viewed from the net any personal knowledge you have on them or similar properties would be appreciated.


Look forward to hearing from you



Best regards

Try Nick Horobin from Essential Properties who might be able to help.

He found us a property recently in Benamargossa but we are sure they have an office down your way.

David & Rob.   Good luck..
