First Visit Experience
Three days in the Costa del Sol, with Franco as your guide. Drive the zones, see what your budget actually buys, and sit down with a trusted lawyer and tax advisor before you commit to anything. You leave with a written recommendation, and a clear read on what to do next. It's arranged on a first call, once Franco understands what you're looking for.

Months of research, dozens of listings, endless Street View. None of it tells you what a place actually feels like. This is the point where all of that turns into something concrete.
If you've done an Advisory Session, its €450 fee is credited against this visit when you book within 90 days. If you haven't, you can still book directly.
How The Visit Is Built
The first two days are shaped entirely around you: Franco selects and sequences the zones, properties and lifestyle moments that matter most to your situation. The third is a different kind of day.
01 · Always Included
Driving through and stopping in the areas that matter to you: the type of resident, the lifestyle, the proximity to what you care about. An intuition for the coast no amount of online research can replicate.
02 · Always Included
Two properties, matching what you're looking for: enough to make the numbers real, without turning the visit into a property search.
03 · Always Included
Lunch at a local restaurant, a walk through a morning market, a coffee in the village square. The moments that answer the real question: could I actually live here?
Day Three · Always Included
Lawyer meeting
Forty-five minutes with one of SELECTHO's trusted English-speaking lawyers. Ask anything directly, buying process to contracts. Included in your fee.
Tax advisor / gestor
Residency, non-resident tax status, and anything specific to your nationality, explained in plain English. Included in your fee.
Also available, if it's relevant to you
Golf course visit
One or two courses and their surrounding communities, if golf is part of the picture for you.
School visit
One or two international schools relevant to your family: British, German, Scandinavian or international curriculum.
The First Visit Dossier
A curated Dossier built from everything seen and discussed, delivered within 48 hours of your last day: the kind you forward to a partner or family before deciding what's next.
What was visited, what stood out, and Franco's primary recommendation. Written last, placed first.
Character and lifestyle of each area, who it's right for, price range, and Franco's honest take for your specific situation, illustrated with the properties you saw as real-world reference points.
The clearest section of the report. One zone that fits best, sharpened criteria for the search ahead, and one clear next step. If the honest answer is that the Costa del Sol isn't the right fit, Franco will say that too.
A written recap of the Day Three conversation with the lawyer and tax advisor, plus concrete next steps: NIE, legal representation, mortgage options, and anything specific to your situation, laid out in plain English.
Concrete actions for the next 2–4 weeks, in order. If one of the properties you saw is the one, Property Advisory is what turns that into an offer: negotiation, legal and closing, handled end to end.
The Dossier: Franco's honest read, yours to act on.
The Price
The full three days with Franco, the agenda preparation, transport throughout, the lawyer and tax advisor meetings, and the Dossier: all included. Flights and accommodation are on you.
