Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book my viewing trip to Costa del Sol?
We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance to allow ample time for scheduling viewings and making travel arrangements. This ensures better availability for both properties and your preferred travel dates in 2026.
What documents do I need to arrange viewings from the UK?
For initial viewing arrangements, your passport is sufficient. However, for making an offer post-viewing, you'll need proof of funds, NIE number, and potentially mortgage pre-approval documentation.
Can VestaLinks arrange viewings without me being present?
While we facilitate remote arrangements, we strongly advise being present for viewings. If absolutely necessary, we can arrange virtual viewings or empowered third-party viewings, but in-person inspection is recommended for significant decisions.
What are the typical costs associated with a viewing trip?
Costs include flights, accommodation, local transport, and daily expenses. Budget approximately €300-€600 per day, excluding flights. Property viewing itself is free, but associated travel costs are borne by the buyer.
How many properties can I realistically view in one day?
A realistic number is 3-5 properties per day. This allows sufficient time for viewing, discussion, travel between locations, and avoids buyer fatigue, ensuring you can make informed decisions.
What happens if I find a property I like during the viewing?
If you decide to make an offer, our team will guide you through the negotiation process, advise on the deposit, and assist with the initial legal steps. We ensure a transparent and secure transaction.
Does VestaLinks offer virtual tours?
Yes, many properties listed on our platform offer virtual tours. We can arrange these as a preliminary step or for buyers who cannot travel. However, an in-person visit is crucial before finalising a purchase in 2026.
