Who is it for? You're still getting your bearings. You want to understand the market before committing to anything.

For anyone who isn't yet sure whether this is the right moment, the right area, or whether we are the right people. Coaching and sharing knowledge, not estate agency.

What's included

  • A 90-minute intake meeting (video call or in person in Castellón)
  • A personal, tailored area guide (PDF): neighbourhoods, price ranges, infrastructure, what to avoid
  • A step-by-step plan with the right order for NIE / bank account / modelo 036
  • Warm introductions to our gestor, lawyer and bank, no cold calling

Paperwork · Available now

NIE, CIF, bank, modelo 036

Who is it for? You've already started a purchase and don't want to sort out the paperwork yourself, or you've just bought and want to make sure your records are in order.

You've already bought, or are about to complete, and you're bogged down in paperwork. We coordinate with our gestor, translate, arrange appointments and make sure the right documents are in the right place at the right time.

What's included

  • Preparing and guiding your NIE application (Spanish consulate or in Spain)
  • Opening a Spanish bank account, with Dutch-language support on compliance questions
  • Modelo 036 / 030, for private individuals and Dutch B.V. companies alike

Supervision · Available now

New-build supervision & handover

Request a quote →

Who is it for? You've bought a new build from Metrovacesa, AEDAS, Avanza Urbana, ARQURA or a similar developer and want independent supervision alongside the seller.

Bought a new build but living in the Netherlands? We are your eyes on the building site. No seller's interest, no builder's interest, just honest reporting.

What's included

  • Site visits with a photo report and a short explanation in Dutch
  • Checking the bank guarantee (aval bancario) and instalments against the contract
  • Handover inspection (snagging) with a checklist of defects
  • Coordinating repairs with the builder on your behalf
  • Attending the handover if you can't

Concierge · Available now

Concierge: key holding and home management

Who is it for? You don't live in Spain full-time and don't want to work out from the other side of Europe who needs to sort out the boiler this time.

Keep your home running smoothly while you're in the Netherlands. Three levels, depending on how hands-off you want to be.

What's included

  • Light: key holding, a monthly visual check, annual utilities statement
  • Standard: all of the above + a fortnightly check, handling post, alarm response

  • Offer and negotiation strategy
  • Legal check of the contract by a Spanish lawyer (included)
  • NIE and CIF (modelo 030 / 036): arranged, not just explained

Focus

New builds on the Costa del Azahar

Often called off-plan internationally: buying before completion.

There is a huge amount of building going on between Vinaròs and Burriana right now. In 2025 alone, Metrovacesa, AEDAS, Avanza Urbana and ARQURA put more than 1,250 new homes in the pipeline, growth of almost 26% in one year. Great for choice, but buying a new build has its own risks that most buyers underestimate.

Four instalments, a building licence, a bank guarantee, completion, snagging, registration: any of them can go wrong, and all of them are neatly set out in a Spanish contract you probably won't read. As a family business with broad property experience in the Netherlands and Spain, especially on the Costa del Azahar, we know these processes from the inside and know exactly where the sharp edges are.

Already bought a new build? Ask us about New-build supervision, which we can already do now.

Frequently asked questions

What clients want to know beforehand

Why isn't full purchase guidance available yet?
By law, we may only actively search and negotiate on behalf of a buyer once we are registered in the RAICV, the mandatory property register of the Comunitat Valenciana since October 2022. Our registration (including 200 hours of training, insurance and a caución, a financial guarantee) is in preparation; we will submit the application at the end of 2026. We would rather do this properly than quickly.
How long does a purchase take from start to keys?
For a resale property: usually 3 months. For a new build (off-plan): 9 to 18 months, depending on the construction stage. The NIE / CIF / bank account process alone easily takes 4 to 8 weeks, so we start that first, in parallel with the search.
Do you also work outside the Costa del Azahar?
Our sweet spot is the coast from Vinaròs to Burriana. We also take on occasional projects in Valencia city or towards Tarragona, but there we are slower and know fewer people. An honest answer upfront.
Do you also provide tax and legal advice?
We are not lawyers or tax advisers, and we wouldn't be allowed to act as such. We work on a regular basis with a Spanish lawyer and a gestor; their work is included in our guidance. For specific tax planning (modelo 720, wealth tax, IRPF) we refer you to our gestor.
How do I know you're really independent?
We receive no commission, kickbacks or gifts from sellers, developers, builders, banks or notaries. Our only client, and our only source of income, is you. This is stated in your engagement letter, and we will display our RAICV licence and insurance prominently on the site once they are in place.

Not sure which service fits?

Start with a no-obligation call. It costs you nothing and takes 30 minutes. Afterwards we'll both know whether we're a good fit.
