Advisory
How we work.
We represent buyers — exclusively, and on one side of the table only. Our role is to provide perspective, access, and judgement, so decisions are made with confidence and without pressure.
One advisor. One side of the table.
You pay no buyer fee. We are remunerated from the selling side, as with any introducing agency — the difference is who we work for. Because our fee is the same whichever property you buy, our only interest is that you buy the right one, at the right price, or not at all.
We sell no developments of our own and hold no inventory. Every property we put in front of you is there on its merits, not its margin.
We work under an exclusive Buyer Advisory & Search Mandate. It commits us to a defined search — sourcing on- and off-market, structural due diligence, and advisor-led negotiation — and commits you to a single advisor. That exclusivity is the condition under which off-market access, pricing intelligence, and real negotiating leverage become possible.
Extended search mandates may carry an engagement retainer, agreed in advance and credited in full at completion.
01 · Exclusive Buyer Representation
For those acquiring a property in Marbella.
Buyer representation is bilateral from the first conversation. We learn what matters — purpose, scale, timeline, fiscal context, family circumstance — before we begin sourcing.
We work both on-market and off. Many of the properties we consider with our clients never appear on a portal. The selection that emerges from our process is shorter than what a portal search would produce, and considerably more relevant.
Due diligence is structural: planning compliance, fiscal exposure, urbanisation governance, surface discrepancies between Nota Simple and Catastro, energy performance, community charges, and material defects. We coordinate the lawyers, fiscalistas, and architects required to complete this work.
Negotiation is conducted by the advisor, not the client. We protect privacy and we protect leverage.

02 · Investment Structuring
For buyer clients and family offices deploying capital.
Property in Spain is taxed by acquisition vehicle. Buying personally, through a Spanish SL, through a holding structure, or through a foreign vehicle has materially different consequences for transfer tax (ITP versus IVA + AJD), corporate income tax, wealth tax exposure, succession, and exit treatment.
Our investment structuring engagements address these questions before, not after, the acquisition. We work alongside the client’s existing tax counsel; where they have none, we coordinate with experienced Spanish fiscalistas in our network.
For Costa del Sol developments we additionally model gross development value, build cost benchmarks, finance structure, and sales and marketing assumptions — and we coordinate the build through to exit.

03 · Development Coordination
For buyer clients building, repositioning, or developing on the Costa del Sol.
Development here rewards preparation and punishes assumption. We coordinate the full arc — plot analysis, buildability and planning parameters, architect selection, licence strategy, build cost benchmarking, and finance structure — from anteproyecto to licence, build, and exit.
We act as the client’s representative, not the contractor’s. Budgets are benchmarked, timelines are pressure-tested, and every decision is framed against the exit: keep, sell, or hold.
Our coordination fee is transparent and agreed in advance.
Areas covered
Plot & planning analysis
Architect & team selection
Licence strategy
Build cost benchmarking · €/m² by specification
Finance structure
Sales & exit modelling
On a very selective basis, we also represent our buyer clients and their referrals when they decide to sell — the same discretion, the same single-advisor relationship, on the other side of the table.
