Real Estate Due Diligence

The Protective Shield
Full Risk Analysis

Finding a beautiful property is not enough. My job is to discard those with hidden problems before you invest a single euro. I perform an exhaustive audit of every property that interests you.

Land Registry Verification

I check the "nota simple" to confirm the seller is the legitimate owner, that there are no hidden liens (mortgages, seizures, easements), and that the square footage matches the listing.

  • Legal ownership of the property
  • Status of liens and mortgages
  • Square footage consistency

Urban Planning Audit

I verify that the property complies with local urban planning regulations, that all constructions are legalized, and that you can carry out the renovations you have in mind without legal issues.

  • First occupation licenses
  • Valid occupancy certificate
  • Feasibility of future renovations

Structural Technical Inspection

I coordinate a professional technical inspection to detect structural problems, dampness, obsolete installations, or any defect that could generate unexpected costs after purchase.

  • Foundation and structural condition
  • Electrical and plumbing installations
  • Dampness and structural pathology detection

Financial and Tax Analysis

I provide a full breakdown of all associated costs: purchase taxes, notary fees, registration, annual maintenance, and tax obligations for non-residents.

  • VAT (IVA) or Transfer Tax (ITP) depending on property type
  • Notary and land registry fees
  • Maintenance and community fees

Result: A complete due diligence report that allows you to make a purchase decision with total security, knowing exactly what you are acquiring and what the real costs will be.

Market Intelligence

I Don't Guess Prices.
I Calculate Them with Real Data.

The price you see on a real estate portal is what the seller WANTS to get, not what the market is actually paying. I work with closed sales data, not asking prices.

My valuation system combines Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), real-time market intelligence, and deep knowledge of Malaga's premium areas to determine the true value of each property.

Real example:

A villa in Sierra Blanca listed at €4.2M may have a real market value of €3.6M based on recent comparable sales. That €600,000 difference is what I negotiate for you.

How I Value a Property

My 4-step valuation methodology to determine the real market price

1

Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)

I identify similar properties sold in the last 6-12 months in the same area: same sqm, bedrooms, finish quality, and location.

2

Real Closing Price

I access real sales data (not asking prices) through my professional network and notary records to know exactly what was actually paid.

3

Property-Specific Adjustments

I apply adjustments based on views, orientation, condition, plot size, pool, home automation, energy certification, and the exclusivity of the urbanization.

4

Market Trends

I incorporate current Costa del Sol luxury market trends: supply vs. demand, average time on market, and price evolution in that specific area.

The Result: Your Negotiating Power

With this data in hand, I know exactly what the fair market price is. This allows me to negotiate from a position of strength, with solid arguments backed by real data.

It is not an opinion. It is market intelligence that protects your investment.

Data vs. Opinions

Why real estate portal prices do not reflect real market value

Information Source Portal Prices Real Data Valuation
Price origin Seller's expectation Real closed sales
Reliability Low (overpriced) High (market price)
Negotiating power None (no data) High (solid arguments)
Typical difference 10-25% overprice Real adjusted price

Without Data Analysis

You find a villa in Nueva Andalucía for €2.8M. It seems like a reasonable price because similar ones are listed at €2.9M-€3.2M.

Result: You pay €2.8M for a property worth €2.3M. You lose €500,000 from day one.

With Market Intelligence

I analyze 23 comparable sales from the last 9 months. The real market price is €2.35M. I negotiate based on this data.

Result: You close the purchase at €2.45M. You save €350,000 and buy at market value to protect your investment.

Shielded Negotiation

I strategically use the weaknesses detected during the audit to build a solid negotiating position. Every technical defect, legal discrepancy, or market overvaluation becomes an argument to reduce the price.

Data-Driven Negotiation Strategy:

1

Documentation of defects as leverage

Use of technical reports on dampness, obsolete systems, or required repairs to justify a reduction.

2

Presentation of Comparative Market Analysis

Proving with real closed sales data that the asking price is overvalued.

3

Identifying the seller's timing

Analyzing time on market, urgency of sale, and personal situation to adjust tactics.

4

Phased negotiation with foundations

Every counter-offer is backed by irrefutable technical, legal, or market arguments.

Typical success case:

Villa listed at €3.2M. My audit detects: pending first occupation license (-€150K), basement dampness (-€80K), market overvaluation (-€250K). Justified initial offer: €2.72M. Final closing: €2.85M.

Real savings: €350,000 (10.9% of the initial price)

Result: Signed deposit agreement (Arras) + Agreed notary date + Documented terms.
