The luxury real estate market is changing, and if anyone knows how to navigate it, it’s Brian from Sandtons. At the heart of this boutique real estate firm, Brian brings decades of experience, personal connections, and a passion for delivering exceptional service. Sandtons isn’t just another real estate agency in Spain - it’s your gateway to exclusive living.
The property market, like everything in life, runs in cycles—booms followed by lulls, and then often a fresh upswing. After several consecutive years of robust growth on the Costa del Sol, with high demand fuelling strong price rises, some are now asking: are we approaching a bubble?
Buying a property or getting a visa might seem like a long process, but that's not the case in Spain. Since 2008, the property market has transformed in every aspect. Buyers will find great opportunities to settle or invest in Spain. However, EU and non-EU nationals must fulfill certain conditions to purchase or rent a house.
Recent headlines about proposed property tax changes in Spain have created quite a stir in the international property market. As CEO of Sandtons Property, with three decades of experience in Spain's property sector, I'd like to provide some clarity and context to help you understand what's really happening.
In my three decades of real estate experience, I've never witnessed such a profound transformation in new development as we're seeing on the Costa del Sol in 2025. We're not just observing changes in design and amenities – we're witnessing a complete reimagining of what 'home' means in the modern era. Today's developments aren't simply places to live; they're comprehensive lifestyle environments that reflect how people want to live, work, and thrive in the post-pandemic world.
After three decades of selling properties internationally, I've witnessed countless market cycles, but I've never seen anything quite like our current landscape here on the Costa del Sol. As founder of Sandtons, where we specialise in luxury properties for foreign buyers, I've had a front-row seat to the remarkable transformation of Spain's second-home market.
Laying between the glamorous Marbella and the understated Sotogrande, Finca Cortesin and the surrounding Casares Costa represent the pinnacle of Mediterranean luxury living. This extraordinary region offers more than just a destination—it promises a transformative lifestyle that seamlessly blends natural beauty, world-class amenities, and rich cultural heritage.
