Your personal expert on the ground.
Buying in a new country can feel like navigating a maze. I become your fully managed solution — saving you hundreds of hours of research and disappointment, and standing beside you from the first call to the keys.
Every agent on this coast works for the seller. So do I — that’s why you don’t pay me.
I’m paid from the seller’s side of the commission, like every agent here. The difference is what I do with my day: I work for you. I came out as a foreign buyer myself, so I know exactly where the fear lives — and how to take it out of the process.
You gain a confident, informed partner who ensures absolute clarity at every step of your purchasing journey.
Start it from the UKEverything I handle — first call to keys, and beyond.
Five phases, one person across all of them. This is the full service, written out plainly, so you know exactly what a fully managed purchase includes — right through to the internet being on when you arrive.
Discovery & strategy
The beginning — what you actually want, and what it costs.
- Consultation & needs mappingA detailed discovery session to define lifestyle requirements, target areas, property specifications, budget and financing parameters.
- Broad market sourcingActively scanning the open market, shared agent databases and industry contacts to find matching homes — never limiting you to in-house stock.
- Property pre-screeningReviewing listings, specs, building details and neighbourhood locations in advance, to filter out mismatches before you book a single visit.
- Market valuation analysisComparing recent sales and local pricing trends on target homes, so you make well-informed offers.
Coordination & showings
Seeing the right homes — in person or by video.

- Remote viewing supportVideo-call walkthroughs and on-the-ground neighbourhood context when you can’t attend in person.
- Objective property assessmentCandid, unbiased feedback on layout, light, noise and condition — plus high-level renovation ideas before bringing in qualified trades for exact quotes.
Offer, negotiation & transaction
Protecting your money through the deal.
- Strategic negotiationStructuring offers and negotiating price, terms, deposit schedules and fixtures to protect your financial interests.
- Legal & technical coordinationLiaising directly with your lawyer and mortgage broker on document flow, title checks, cadastral verification and financing milestones.

Michael walked every room before we did, then handled the NIE, the bank — even the furniture. We bought our flat in Benalmádena from our kitchen table.
