You listed your property months ago. You had high hopes. But now… silence. No calls. No visits. Just that sinking feeling that your listing’s gone stale. And the worst part?

After working with over a hundred buyers and sellers in southern Granada this year so far and along the Costa Tropical, we’ve noticed some patterns. The things that help a sale go smoothly. The mistakes that slow it down. And the details that make buyers fall in love—or walk away. It’s never just about price

If you’ve ever thought, “Let’s just get it listed and see what happens,” this one’s for you. Because selling without a plan doesn’t just reduce your chances of success — it can cost you thousands.

A quiet change in Brussels could soon have a very loud impact on Spanish homeowners. From 2030, properties with the lowest energy ratings (F or G) may no longer be legally sold or rented. By 2033, the minimum requirement rises to a D rating. For buyers, this means greater confidence in running costs. For sellers, especially those with

Most sellers assume autumn is a safer bet when listing their home. Cooler weather, buyers returning from holiday, and a sense of getting things done before Christmas. Makes sense, right?  But in our experience across the Costa Tropical and southern Granada, autumn isn’t always the golden window people expect it to be.  In fact, it can cost
