Your guide to property and life on the Costa del Sol

Everything you need to know before you move

The Costa del Sol can feel overwhelming when you’re looking from the outside. Prices vary wildly between areas. The legal process is different to what you’re used to. And Google is full of agency websites trying to sell you something. That’s why we built Link2Property — a genuinely independent resource for buyers, renters, and people planning their move to one of Europe’s most sought-after coastlines.

Buying

From your first search to signing at the notary. We cover what things actually cost, how the Spanish purchase process works, which areas suit which buyers, and the taxes and fees no one warns you about.

Renting

Long-term or short-term, Marbella or Estepona — we break down the rental market honestly. Average prices, tenant rights in Andalusia, what to watch out for in a lease, and where to look beyond the big portals.

Relocating

Moving to Spain is more than finding a flat. We cover NIE numbers, residency visas, cost of living, schools, healthcare, and what life is really like on the Costa del Sol once the holiday feeling fades.
Area Guides

Find the right spot for you

The Costa del Sol isn’t one place — it’s dozens of very different towns, each with its own character, price range, and pace of life. Link2Property area guides cut through the estate agent descriptions and tell you what each place is really like to live in.
