Dear All, we are looking to buy an apartment in Fuengirola and would like to know its market value (in order not to get ripped off!), What type of professional could make an honest estimate beside realtors (who are mainly interested in their gain)?
Many thanks for any help or advice you could give us. Cheers!

Agreed you can use Idealista map and find most properties for sale link https://www.idealista.com/venta-viviendas/fuengirola/centro-ciudad/ This can give an idea across the board, but most will be overpriced a huge surplus of property., You can't really value a property like UK where the market is solid, something like 2 million empty homes in Spain. Buying normally a case of bartering, perhaps start 10% below ask price, most agents use hard sell tactics commission is high 5%
If you are buying an older property you should always ask the selling agent for the ITE and the CEE (energy certificate) as 'the law requires them to be available when the property is being marketed and not just presented when the sale is being formalised at the Notary'. The age a property needing this varies, For example, Mijas requires the first inspection for properties as young as 25 years, Estepona is 30 years and every 10 years thereafter, whilst Marbella, located in between those Town Halls, is only after 50 years and every 10 years thereafter.
