About Nexo Estates

Which regions is Nexo Estates active in?+

We're active in the finest towns on the Costa del Sol, including Estepona, Marbella, Puerto Banús, New Golden Mile, Mijas, Málaga, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Manilva, and Sotogrande.

Do you speak English?+

Yes. Nexo Estates was founded by Sem Grijpink and guides English-speaking buyers, sellers, and investors in their own language, from the first conversation to well after completion.

Do you only work with Dutch buyers?+

We mainly focus on English and Dutch-speaking buyers, sellers, and investors who want guidance in their own language for property on the Costa del Sol.

Buying on the Costa del Sol

What does it cost to buy a property in Spain?+

Expect additional costs of roughly 9 to 10% of the purchase price for resale property, and roughly 13 to 14% for new build. This consists of taxes, notary, land registry, and legal fees. See the full breakdown on our buying guidance page.

Do I need an NIE number to buy?+

Yes. Without an NIE number (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) you can't buy a property in Spain, open a bank account, or pay tax. We can arrange the application for you.

Can I get a mortgage as a foreign buyer?+

Yes, Spanish banks typically finance up to 70% of the purchase price for non-residents. Calculate your indicative monthly payment on our Mortgage check page.

Is your buying guidance free?+

Our buying guidance is free for you as a buyer: we're compensated by the selling party. For selling and rental guidance we always discuss the terms up front, so you know where you stand.

Selling & renting

How do you determine the asking price for my property?+

Based on recent, comparable transactions in your area, so you get a realistic, market-based asking price.

Can I rent out my property?+

In many cases yes, provided you have the right rental licence. We advise on the options, the regulations, and the expected return.

How we work

How quickly do you respond to a request?+

We typically respond within one working day.

Do you stay reachable after completion too?+

Yes. Our guidance doesn't stop at the key handover, afterwards too you can come to us for questions, maintenance, or practical help.
