Agreeing the Brief

What makes The Property Finders different from estate agents? It starts with the brief. Not just how many bedrooms and what's the budget? We need to know everything to match your criteria to properties in every respect. (00m:23s)

What's on Your List?

What’s on your list of requirements? Our search process starts with understanding everything about your goals, lifestyle, and vision for your property in Spain—before we even begin reviewing areas or properties. A tailored search starts with understanding you. (00m:32s)

Getting the Builders In

Location perfect but not the property. Not keen on getting the builders in? If you're not sure you can manage a renovation long distance this video is for you. Yes, you can do it with the right professionals we help connect you to. On-site Zoom meetings make all the difference! (00m:54s)

Noisy Neighbours

Would you buy a house next to a kindergarten or school? In Spain, outdoor noise is a major consideration. Most kindergartens operate from private houses and even larger schools can be hard to spot if you’re unfamiliar with the area or you’re viewing during the holidays or when school is out for the day. We hide nothing. (00m:56s)

Orientation - Spain in Winter

One of the first questions we ask our clients is how important is the winter climate? The image above was taken on Feb 6, 2024 at 17:30hrs. There are very few places anywhere in the Mediterranean where it's possible to eat outside in full sun late in the afternoon in early February in a T-shirt. We will identify the microclimate zones where you can. (00m:54s)

Orientation - Which Way is Best?

Most overseas buyers know everywhere in Spain is great in summer but many don't really understand the winter variables. 73% of foreign buyers choose the Med coast—don’t assume it’s all the same! This video explains how orientation of both coastlines and properties dramatically affects winter temperatures—even along Spain’s Mediterranean coasts. Compass at the ready!. (00m:53s)

Orientation - The Temperature Variables

Many foreign buyers are drawn to Spain for its climate, but did you know winter temperatures can vary by up to 10ºC depending on location and orientation on the Mediterranean coasts and by even more if you head inland. On an east facing coast, or in an east facing property the sun can be starting to disappear behind you just as the temperature is getting going.(01:11s)

Orientation - Other Issues

It's not just orientation that matters - we check for many other factors. Tall trees, neighbouring properties on higher ground can throw shade on to your garden, terraces and pool. If you are not in full sun when the sun it at it's warmest in the afternoon, it will be too cold to sit outside. Let us help you get it right. (01m:04s)

Private Sales - Always Worth Looking

When I’m doing external checks I’m always on the lookout for Se Vende For Sale signs, they are quite common in Spain. Estate agents aren\t welcome but sellers are delighted to deal direct with property finders like us. Dealing direct with a seller can result in a lower price for our clients so I go hunting at the start of a search. Can’t guarantee success but will always try.(00m:41s)

Sea Views in the Med - Not Always Easy

73%, of all property buyers in Spain head straight for the Mediterranean coasts. And topping a lot of wish lists is a perfect sea view. But finding that dream panoramic, unobstructed view can be harder than you think. Our series of shorts breaks down why the ultimate sea view can be elusive. (00m:32s)

A Sea View - would you compromise?

Many buyers start their search convinced that an amazing, unobstructed Mediterranean sea view is essential. But as the property search unfolds, priorities can shift and other factors often lead buyers to compromise — from budget realities and location trade-offs to lifestyle preferences and practical needs. Would you compromise? (00m:25s)

Sea View Difficulties

The reality is that much of Spain's coasts are flat restricting the most desirable open and panoramic sea views to those lucky enough to be in the frontline. With a few exceptions hilly areas are several kilometres inland, no good if you also want easy access to a beach. It's a conundrum and it changes priorities for many buyers.. (00m:51s)

Sea Views - How Close to the Water?

Still dreaming of a sea view in Spain? Looking for a property with a panoramic sea view and walking distance to the beach? That combo can be tricky — but not impossible. There are a few rare coastal spots with elevated land just behind the water's edge or cliffs with breathtaking Mediterranean views and beach access — even private steps into the sea in some exceptional cases! We know where to look. (00m:50s)

Sea Views away from the Coasts

If you can’t find what you want close to the beach, it might be time to look inland so ask yourselves how far you'd be prepared to go. Spain’s rugged terrain means breathtaking Mediterranean views can often be found 5–10km from the coast, in elevated locations nestled in the Sierras. But a car will be essential. (01m:01s)

Sea Views - Changed Minds

Many property buyers in Spain start their search insisting on a sea view but for some, that priority shifts. Why? A changing buyer profile is part of the story. Today’s overseas buyers are often younger, working professionals with school or university-aged children, planning a permanent move or mid-term relocation. Practical needs like schools, commutes, and year-round living often take priority over that dream view. (00m:34s)

Sea Views - Make Sure It's Forever

Got the view? Make sure it's a forever view. Nothing worse than buying a property with a stunning sea view only to lose it a few years later. It does happen. The Property Finders do the due diligence before you buy, so no nasty surprises later. (00m:36s)

Surveys in Spain

Many overseas buyers in Spain skip the structural survey. Estate agents don't suggest one in case problems emerge and disrupt the sale. Buying agents want everything disclosed, any offer should always be subject to survey. If you’re buying property in Spain, watch this first. (01m:01s)

Reasons for a Survey

In this video, we share key reasons why every overseas buyer should consider one. Age of the property is relevant and additional building work since originally built. Perhaps the best one is peace of mind. Get a survey, you won't regret it. (00m:57s)

The Detective Work

Estate don't flag up road noise, barking dogs, loud neighbours, empty plots that may become construction zones, overlooked gardens and pools, enticing images work better. In contrast, property finders flag everything up. The good and the bad. We are property detectives. (00m:40s)

Where? Never Heard Of It

Over the years clients of The Property Finders have bought properties in a location they had never visited or, in some cases, never even heard of until we suggested it as a very good match for their criteria. We cover whole regions so can compare and contrast the locations that will work best for you, unlike estate agents who only list in their 'patch'. (00m:26s)

Comparing Locations

Estate agents would never suggest a location not on their 'patch'. Property finders don't have patches, we cover whole regions so can compare and contrast the locations that work best for you, based on the discussions at the start of the search process. And you don't have to choose one area for your search, we are happy to search across multiple locations. (00m:31s)

Where Before What - Location 1st, Property 2nd

It's so easy to get caught up looking at enticing images online, moving on to make appointments to view in a location you know slightly after a few holidays but not in depth. Knowing somewhere as a tourist cannot compare with our in-depth local knowledge of a whole region. Get the location right and everything else falls into place. It's always 'where' first and then the 'what'. (00m:27s)
