At my place in the sun, we revolutionise the way you buy property in the Costa del Sol market by offering independent buyer representation, working exclusively in your best interests rather than those of sellers. Our approach combines extensive local knowledge with a tailored six-stage process, guiding you from lifestyle profiling and financial transparency to market sourcing, guided viewings, and effective price negotiation. We are not here to 'sell' to you; our mission is to protect you, connect you with trusted multilingual professionals, and manage your post-purchase aftercare and property management needs.

The process begins with a deep understanding of your specific requirements within the Costa del Sol market. Beyond the property itself, the focus is on your lifestyle and budget, while considering essential community elements like proximity to schools, sporting facilities, and local shops. This ensures the location is a great match and highlights the importance of independent buyer representation.
To avoid any 'post-commitment' shock, we will advise you of the costs you can expect to incur. This includes both the initial purchase expenses and recurring long-term commitments such as city taxes and community charges. Our commitment to independent buyer representation ensures you are fully informed before you make your commitment.
Leveraging our extensive knowledge of the Costa del Sol market, we curate a long list of potential properties. You then review this list and provide feedback to help create a refined shortlist of preferred properties that align with your specific criteria.
Each shortlisted property undergoes a final verification against your needs. For viewings, you are picked up at your hotel and provided with escorted in-person tours—including a look at the surrounding neighborhood. We advise all our clients to visit in person; however, where this is not possible, we can provide 'live feed' video tours (additional charge) if you cannot make it to the coast. Our independent buyer representation ensures that you have full support throughout the process.
Once your preferred property in the Costa del Sol market is chosen, our assistance ensures the focus shifts to securing the best price through professional negotiation. Additionally, we can connect you with a trusted network of multilingual lawyers and mortgage lenders to manage the legal and financial requirements, providing independent buyer representation throughout the process.
The service continues after the sale, offering everything from furniture packages to full property management, including gardening, pool care, and key holding. my place in the sun focuses on independent buyer representation in the Costa del Sol market, ensuring your interests are prioritised.
The service fee is a flat £500 / €575, payable only upon the successful completion of your purchase or PPC in the case of an 'off plan' purchase.
