About Us

Thinking About Buying in the Costa del Sol?

Whether it’s a holiday home, something more permanent, or even building the home of your dreams in Spain, that’s where Sol Spanish Estates are here to help. In fact, it’s our passion.

We’ve been helping people to buy in the Costa del Sol since 2003. We know that it’s all about getting the proper advice and guidance right from the outset on every aspect of buying in Spain and that’s where Sol Spanish Estates are absolutely unique.

Sol Spanish Estates

Sol Spanish Estates was founded Mike Begg who has worked in the finance industry for 45 years. Mike held senior banking positions, before founding one of Scotland’s leading mortgage brokers away back in 2000. In 2011 he then established Beat the Banks which have now recovered  more than £50 million for victims of financial mis-selling both in the UK and now in Spain.
 
Mike is married to Clara, a former Spanish lawyer. They stay in the Costa del Sol with their daughter Eva, who was born in Dundee. Mike has owned property in the Costa del Sol for over 20 years and can offer unique guidance for anyone who’s thinking of buying anywhere from Malaga to Marbella and from Marbella south to the likes Estepona and Puerta La Duquesa.

Comprehensive Guidance for Your Spanish Property Journey

Sol Spanish Estates work with a small number of trusted local agents who have operated locally for a number of years and know the marketplace inside out, but it’s what else we can advise on that makes Sol Spanish Estates completely different

We can present you with the best solution to fund your purchase, be it in the UK, Spain, or a combination of both. We work closely with mortgage brokers in the UK and in Spain.
We work closely with fully English-speaking local lawyers who have practiced locally for years.
If you are looking to move permanently to Spain we can offer advice on everything from obtaining the Non-Lucrative Visa to schooling options.

Living locally, we know exactly where to buy and even more importantly, where not to buy.

We can give you a complete insight into what it’s like to live in the Costa del Sol and the places you simply have to see. The Costa del Sol is steeped in history all the way back to the Roman times with the likes of Madrid, Seville and Cordoba all within easy of reach of Malaga thanks to Spain’s network of high-speed trains.
We work with a number of local and trusted businesses to cater for absolutely all your needs.
We can even point you in the right direction when it comes to Taxation in Andalucia and Investment and Inheritance Planning.
