Why international buyers choose Costa Blanca Advisors
Buying property in Spain as a foreign investor involves more than choosing the right location. Spanish purchase taxes, notarial procedures, NIE applications, non-resident mortgage qualification rules, urban classification, energy certificates and rental licensing all change the underlying economics of any deal. Our team works exclusively on the buyer side and integrates real estate, legal, mortgage and renovation expertise so every investment is stress-tested before any contract is signed.
We never accept commissions from sellers, developers or banks. Our fees are paid directly by the client and published in writing before any work begins. This eliminates the conflicts of interest typical of dual-agency Spanish models where the same firm advises both seller and buyer.
Our office is in Alicante (Carrer Antonio de Trueba 5, 03012 Alicante). Our team is bilingual (English, German, Dutch, French and Russian) and covers ten of the most international Costa Blanca cities: Calpe, Moraira, Jávea, Dénia, Altea, Benissa, El Campello, Alicante, Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa.
