If you are looking for an estate agent on the Costa del Sol for foreign buyers, at EVS Property Group we guide you through the whole purchase, remotely if needed: search, NIE, bank account, non-resident mortgage, power of attorney, independent lawyer and signing before the notary. We work in Spanish, English and Russian from our office in Benalmádena, and the buyer pays no commission to the agency: the sale fees are paid by the seller.
What is it like to buy a home on the Costa del Sol with EVS?
- Search: we set your total budget, area and type of home, and show you properties from our own portfolio and the Resales-Online MLS network, over 10,000 properties.
- Viewings: we go with you to see the homes; if you cannot come, the whole purchase can be done remotely.
- Offer and reservation: we negotiate the price and prepare the reservation and deposit contract with your lawyer.
- Paperwork: we coordinate the NIE, opening the bank account and, if you need one, the non-resident mortgage.
- Legal checks: an independent lawyer checks charges, permits and debts on the property.
- Signing: before the notary, in person or with a power of attorney if you cannot travel.
- After the purchase: utility transfers and, if you want to let it, rental management.

FAQ
Can I buy a home on the Costa del Sol without travelling to Spain?
Yes. With a power of attorney the person you appoint can sign for you, and we coordinate the whole purchase remotely. Many buyers still prefer to see the home in person before reserving.
Does EVS charge the buyer a commission?
No. In a sale, the agency fees are paid by the seller.
Do I need a lawyer if I buy with EVS?
It is not compulsory, but we recommend it: an independent lawyer checks the property and contracts on your behalf. We can put you in touch with one if you do not have one.
Do you help with a non-resident mortgage?
Yes, we coordinate the application with the banks. Non-residents are usually lent around 60–70% of the value.
What do I need to get started?
Your budget, the areas you like and the type of home. With that we prepare a first shortlist and a cost estimate.
