Worth a look
N° 01
Casa Blanca
€385,000
Los Cristianos  ·  2 bed · 78 m²
Nathan's takeGood bones, south-facing, ten minutes from Playa de las Vistas. Community €95/month, no pending derrama. I think €365,000 gets it if we move this month — the seller is leaving for Madrid in May.
N° 02
Finca El Cardón
€495,000
La Orotava  ·  3 bed · 142 m² · 300 m² garden
Nathan's takeBeautiful terrace, quiet road. Roof needs roughly €20,000 of work the seller isn't disclosing — I walked it with my builder last Tuesday. A yes at €465k, a no at €495.

N° 03
Mirador 12
€420,000
Costa Adeje  ·  2 bed · 94 m² · pool
Nathan's takeNice views but the community is charging €280/month and has approved a derrama for the facade — another €14,000 per owner in November. Overpriced by fifty thousand. Pass.
New this week
N° 04
Puerto House
€620,000
Puerto de la Cruz  ·  4 bed · 186 m² · sea view
Nathan's takeQuiet street, recently renovated, mortgage-able for non-residents at 60% through Sabadell. My favourite listing this month. It'll be gone in six weeks.

About
p. 12
A word from the agent

I'm Nathan. I'm Dutch, I live in La Orotava, and I represent buyers because the Spanish market runs on opacity that nobody else seems willing to fix.

I moved here in 2019 with my partner, bought a townhouse in La Orotava, and spent eighteen months learning the hard way how the Spanish property system actually works — from the notary in Santa Cruz who corrected my NIE paperwork twice, to the agency that quietly charged me a five percent commission I was never told about.

Now I represent buyers only. I show you the commission I'm paid. I tell you when a listing is overpriced. I come with you to the ayuntamiento. If that sounds unremarkable, it's because it should be — and because almost no agency on the island does it.
