Great weather, good connections and a wide range of properties make it very attractive - but the buying process is not the same as in your home country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a short, practical overview of how the process usually works - and what to think about at each step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>1. get your budget and total cost clear<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to decide&nbsp;<strong>how much you can and want to spend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Spain, the&nbsp;<strong>total buying cost is usually 10-13% on top of the purchase price<\/strong>. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Taxes<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notary and registry fees<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legal fees<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Possible bank\/mortgage costs<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your budget covers&nbsp;<strong>price + 10-13%<\/strong>&nbsp;so there are no surprises later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>2. decide how you will use the property<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start looking, be clear on your main purpose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Holiday home?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full-time living?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rental investment?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A mix of the above?<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This affects what you should prioritise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Location (beach, town centre, quiet residential area)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to schools, medical services and transport<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type of property (apartment, townhouse, villa)<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At JMA Prime Estate, we always start with a short needs analysis so we don't waste time on the wrong properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>3. choose the right area on Costa del Sol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Costa del Sol is a long coastline with many different towns and neighbourhoods. A few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fuengirola<\/strong>\u00a0- very good transport (train to the airport), busy all year, lots of services.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mijas Costa \/ La Cala<\/strong>\u00a0- beachside, many modern developments, popular with international families.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Marbella<\/strong>\u00a0- more exclusive image, higher price levels in many areas.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Benalm\u00e1dena<\/strong>\u00a0- hillside views, mix of traditional Spanish and international areas.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A good approach is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shortlist 2-3 areas that fit your lifestyle.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit them at different times of day if possible.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then focus your property search inside those areas.<br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>4 Build the right team: agent, lawyer and (if needed) bank<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep the process safe and simple, you normally need three key partners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Your main agent<br><\/strong><ol><li>Understands your needs<br><\/li><\/ol><ol><li>Coordinates viewings (even with other agencies via shared listing systems)<br><\/li><\/ol>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Guides you from first contact to handing over the keys<br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>An independent lawyer<br><\/strong><ol><li>Works only for you as the buyer<br><\/li><\/ol><ol><li>Checks all documents, debts, licences and contracts<br><\/li><\/ol>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Manages payments, tax and registration correctly<br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A bank (if you need financing)<br><\/strong><ol><li>Gives you an indication of how much you can borrow<br><\/li><\/ol>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Explains conditions, interest and extra costs<br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>On Costa del Sol, many agencies share the same database of properties. That means you don't need 10 agents - you need one good one who represents you and uses the network in a smart way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>5 From offer to completion - the key steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you find the right property, the journey usually looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Offer &amp; negotiation<br><\/strong>\u00a0You submit an offer via your agent. If the seller accepts or counters, your agent helps you find an agreement.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reservation<br><\/strong>\u00a0A short reservation document is signed and you pay a\u00a0<strong>reservation fee<\/strong>\u00a0(often 6,000-10,000 \u20ac depending on price level and agreement). The property is taken off the market for a set period.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Legal checks (due diligence)<br><\/strong>\u00a0Your lawyer checks ownership, debts, licences, planning issues and all key documents. If problems appear, they advise you and negotiate solutions - or recommend walking away.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Private purchase contract<br><\/strong>\u00a0Once everything is clear, a more detailed contract is signed. You normally pay\u00a0<strong>up to 10% of the purchase price<\/strong>\u00a0(including the reservation already paid).<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Completion at the notary<br><\/strong>\u00a0The final deed is signed, the remaining amount is paid, and you receive the keys. Your lawyer handles taxes and registration in your name.<br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>6 Think beyond the purchase: management and rentals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many international buyers focus only on the purchase - but the real question is:&nbsp;<strong>What happens after?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Important points to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who will hold the keys and check the property when you're away?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Who can help with cleaning, small repairs and deliveries?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will you rent the property out?
