About us

A French-Andalusian couple, and one simple idea

To help you live out your plans on the Costa del Sol without the stress and without the nasty surprises. Because here, we want everything to be… izi.

Administration & support

Born in France, I've lived in Andalusia since I was 17. Over the years I've come to know Spanish administration inside out, along with all the small details that decide whether a move goes smoothly… or doesn't.

Bilingual and immersed in the local culture for a long time now, what I enjoy most is sparing you the traps and the scams that newcomers so often run into.

  • French & Spanish
  • NIE & empadronamiento
  • Translations
  • Banking & insurance
  • Rental contracts

Property & building work

Andalusian through and through, and a hands-on man in the building trade. Buying, putting a project together, renovation, maintenance: I know the best trades around here and the estate agencies you can work with calmly.

My job is to make sure your project is in good hands, from the first brushstroke to the finishing touches — and that nobody takes advantage of the fact that you don't speak Spanish yet.

What we believe

Our four rules, and we don't bend them

We work for you, not for the seller

We take no commission from an agency, a developer or a bank. You're our only client, so your interest is our only criterion. If a property is overpriced, we'll say so.

You never sign without understanding

Every important document is translated and explained before you sign. If one sentence is still unclear, we go over it again. As many times as it takes.

We tell you when you don't need us

Some procedures are simple and you can handle them yourself. We'd rather say so and keep your trust than bill you for thin air.

We stay on after the move

Once the keys are in your hand, life carries on: building work, surprises, upkeep. The same contact is still reachable, and already knows your file.

“A question? A plan? Just fancy talking about your future life in the sun? Write to us — we'll be glad to answer.”

Our patch

Málaga and the whole Costa del Sol

We're based in Málaga and we work along the entire coast. In practice that means we can be there for a viewing, an appointment or a site meeting without it turning into an expedition.

  • Málaga, Rincón de la Victoria, Vélez-Málaga and Nerja to the east
  • Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola and Mijas in the middle
  • Marbella and Estepona to the west
  • For a project elsewhere in Andalusia, just ask — we'll give you a straight answer

First conversation is free

Shall we grab a coffee — or a call — whenever suits you?

The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Tell us about your plans and we'll tell you honestly what's ahead, in what order, and what we can take off your hands.
