About us
A family property business, with a Spanish branch on the Costa del Azahar.
Dutch property know-how, a trusted local network and our own new-build experience, brought together in one point of contact for foreign buyers.
Two branches, one discipline
In the Netherlands, Van der Meulen Vastgoed B.V. has been active in buying, developing and letting property for more than ten years. Reviewing contracts, negotiating, managing builders and delivering projects: that is the day-to-day work.
Van der Meulen Foris B.V. is the Spanish branch of that family business, led by Dennis van der Meulen, who has lived and worked on the Costa del Azahar for years. The same discipline and long-term thinking, applied to the Spanish new-build market.
Why Foris exists
We went through the Spanish new-build process ourselves (notarial powers of attorney, sworn translations, modelo 036, bank guarantee, instalments across two countries) through our own companies. Our conclusion: it shouldn't have to be this difficult for any buyer.
With Foris we make those three ingredients (Dutch property know-how, a trusted network of gestores, notaries and lawyers, and hands-on experience with Spanish new builds) available to foreign buyers. No estate agency chain, no call centre, no commission hunting.
What such a process looks like, step by step: Our experience.
What that means in practice
- 01
In Dutch, at every level
We explain every Spanish document in clear Dutch. No Google Translate, no confusion at the notary.
- 02
On the ground in Castellón
A viewing, site visit or notary appointment is arranged locally. You don't need to fly over for it.
- 03
A family business mindset
Short lines of communication. The same people you speak to at the first call go with you to the notary.
- 04
Independent
We receive no commission from sellers, developers, builders or banks. Our only client is you.
- 05
Clear agreements
A written quote upfront. No success fees, no hidden margins, no surprises afterwards.
What we promise
- 01We'll be honest with you, even if that means you shouldn't buy this house.
- 02We're clear about agreements: upfront, in writing, nothing added afterwards.
- 03We only do work we would want to receive ourselves.
- 04What we can't do, we don't do. We'll refer you to someone who can.
Shall we talk?
A first call is free, takes 30 minutes and can be by video call or phone, whichever suits you best.
