Buying a home on the Costa del Sol

When you buy a property in Spain through a real estate agent, it is a little different from what you are used to from your country. In Sweden, for example, real estate agents have been a state-regulated profession since 1984, and to be registered as a real estate agent a university education is required. In Spain, the title real estate agent is not protected, which means that pretty much anyone without experience and knowledge can use that title.

This is where Bostad Costa del Sol comes into the picture. For 12 years, our owner Sven F. Källström has run the agency Alamo Costa del Sol Real Estate and during his 36 years in Spain has acquired a great collective knowledge and has all the important contacts to be able to guide you through the buying process and fulfill your dream of a accommodation on the Costa del Sol. Together we sort out some important issues to achieve an effective result. Where on the Costa del Sol do you want to live, what type of home are you looking for and how much will it cost?

Let us become your personal broker and advisor for those who are looking to buy a home on the Costa del Sol. Of course, we also make sure that you get an English-speaking lawyer by your side in the buying process and that you obtain all the necessary insurance through an English-speaking insurance company. If you want financing for your property purchase with a mortgage loan, you can get in touch with a Spanish bank with English-speaking staff. If the home you want to buy needs renovation or rebuilding, we will put you in touch with a Swedish construction company that can also apply for ROT deduction.
