The three most important factors are: professional photography, prepared documentation, and the property’s visual first impression. Buyers on the Costa del Sol are predominantly international and make their initial selection based on photos and the listing — if the images don’t capture attention and the price is significantly above market level, viewings will not follow.

Before the photo session, it’s worth making small improvements that don’t require major investment — fresh paint, a well-kept garden and terrace, a clean pool, and tidy interiors. A large share of buyers on the Costa del Sol prioritise outdoor space and views — the terrace, balcony, and surroundings must be presented at their best. The kitchen and bathroom are the areas buyers assess most critically — even minor updates can significantly influence the overall impression. Documentation is equally important: if the nota simple, energy certificate, and tax receipts are ready before listing, there will be no delays when a serious buyer appears.
