Do you publish ROI figures?
We do not publish forecasts or single indicators. Market data provided by the client is undated and unsourced and requires confirmation — we mark it visibly and discuss the detail in conversation.

How to read property market data on the Costa del Sol — and what we should not publish without a source.
Where market data comes from.
Property market data in Spain comes from several different sources: notarial records, the land registry, statistical offices and listing portals. Each measures something different, and none is a complete picture of the market.
Registers show transactions that have already completed — so they describe the past. Portals show asking prices rather than transaction prices. The gap between the two can be significant, and confusing them is one of the most common mistakes when comparing markets.
Why we do not publish indicators.
We hold market data provided by the client, including growth figures and estimated annual ROI for individual towns. It is undated, unsourced, and in places conflicts with figures in other client materials.
So we do not publish it as fact or as a forecast. Publishing a single number without a date or source would mislead a buyer — and in the investment segment that is an expensive mistake. We discuss current data in conversation and show where it comes from.
What to check before investing.
Instead of a single indicator, check several things: how supply looks in your chosen location, whether new development is planned nearby, what rental occupancy looks like in and out of season, and the realistic running costs of the property.
Ownership structure also matters — whether the property is bought personally or through a company — along with the tax consequences of letting it. A specialist advises on those points; we coordinate the contact and help organise the questions.
Questions buyers ask.
Where does market data come from?
From differing sources: notarial records, the land registry, statistical offices and listing portals. Each measures something different, so comparing them directly leads to errors.
What is the difference between asking and transaction price?
The asking price is the figure in the listing; the transaction price is what the property actually sold for. The gap can be significant and is a common mistake when assessing a market.
Do you help assess the return on an investment?
We help work out what to check for a specific property and show the sources. Tax and financial advice is provided by qualified partners.
