Everything you want to know

We search and view properties for you. Based on your wishes, we look for suitable properties along the entire Costa Blanca, make a selection, plan the viewings and come along with you.

Properties from our own Get Real Selection and the entire portfolio of our partner Clees & Vogel. From apartments to villas, new builds and resale.

These are properties we list ourselves, separate from the Clees & Vogel portfolio. You recognise them by the Get Real Selection label.

Not ourselves: we focus on searching and viewing. For the legal and practical side of the purchase, we work closely with Costa Assist. They guide you through the legal checks, the purchase contract and the notary, and arrange things like your NIE number, residencia and taxes.

Yes, through our partner Costa Assist. The Costa Assist team guides you through the whole buying process: the legal checks, the reservation, the purchase contract (arras), the notary, the handover of the keys and transferring gas, water and electricity to your name. They also help with your NIE number, residencia, tax matters, importing your car and a rental licence.

Yes. The NIE is the identification number for foreigners in Spain. You need it to buy a property, open a bank account and connect utilities. You apply for it in Spain or through a Spanish consulate. Our partner Costa Assist can arrange it for you.

For resale properties in the Valencia region you pay transfer tax (ITP): 9% since 1 June 2026, and 11% above €1 million. For new builds you pay 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.4% stamp duty (AJD). On top of that come the notary, registration and the cost of legal support. As a rough guide, allow 11 to 14% on top of the purchase price, and have it calculated for your situation, for example by Costa Assist.

Usually you first reserve the property, then sign a purchase contract (contrato de arras), typically with a 10% deposit. The property is transferred at the notary. For resale properties this often takes six to twelve weeks. For new builds you pay in instalments until completion.

Yes. Even if you live in the Netherlands or elsewhere, you can buy a property in Spain. You need an NIE number and usually a Spanish bank account. If you cannot be there, someone with a power of attorney can sign on your behalf. Costa Assist can help you with this.

Before you sign a purchase contract, it is checked whether the property is legally in order, for example whether it is free of debts and properly registered. Our partner Costa Assist guides you through these legal checks and the rest of the buying process up to the notary.

We schedule a number of properties in advance, in a logical order. We view them together, discuss what you thought after each property and take time in between to see the area.

That depends on the distances, but usually three to five. Better to view a few good properties calmly than ten in a hurry.

The construction and maintenance, the location, the sun, noise, the neighbourhood and the amenities. As a Register Taxateur (registered valuer) in the Netherlands, Arnoud has a critical eye, and we tell you what we see.

Yes. Do you want to sell your property on the Costa Blanca? We take care of the entire sale, and besides our website and international portals we also list your property on Funda, so Dutch buyers see it straight away.

Funda is the largest property platform in the Netherlands. Many Dutch people who want to buy in Spain start their search there. Most Spanish estate agents cannot advertise on Funda, but we can.

Together we set a realistic asking price, arrange professional photos and a video tour, and list your property on Funda, our website and international portals. Then we handle the viewings and negotiations and guide you up to the notary. For the paperwork we work together with Costa Assist.

Yes. We are in contact with interested buyers and accompany the viewings, in Dutch or English.

Yes. We communicate in Dutch or English, whichever you prefer.

Costa Assist supports Dutch people who buy a property in Spain or move to Spain, with offices in Benitachell and Rotterdam. We work closely with Costa Assist for the legal and practical guidance of your purchase, from the legal checks to the handover of the keys.

Clees & Vogel has been established on the Costa Blanca for years and has a large portfolio. We may show you their properties and join you on viewings.
