Our positioning

We work for buyers, not sellers

In Spain, almost everyone in the property market represents the seller. We are the exception: a buyer-side personal shopper whose only client is you.

Your mandate, not the seller's

Every listing agent you meet in Spain works for the seller. That is their client and their job. We are retained by buyers only, so your goals set the brief and we answer to no one else.

Access beyond the portals

We access new builds directly from developers, resales from agencies across Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca, and off-market properties that never reach the portals. That covers 99.9% of what is on the market.

Negotiation on your side

We negotiate price, terms and conditions with the seller or developer, starting from comparable sales in the same zone rather than from the asking price. We have no conflict of interest and no incentive to close above market value.

Independent due diligence

We verify title, permits, debts and legal status before you commit rather than after. Our job is to protect your decision, so we have every reason to tell you if something is wrong.

The process

How Directimo helps

01

Share your brief

Tell your personal shopper what you're looking for: location, budget, lifestyle, investment goals. We'll pressure-test it against the market and refine it together, so the search starts from something realistic. Everything stays confidential.

02

We search 99.9% of the market

We look at developers, agencies and off-market stock, then shortlist only the properties that match your brief and come with full documentation.

03

Visit and negotiate

We accompany you on viewings, ask the questions that protect your interest, and negotiate price and terms directly with sellers.

04

Close with confidence

We run independent due diligence on title, permits and legal status, coordinate with your lawyer, and stand by you through signing at the notary.

Due diligence

What we check

Nine-point verification, carried out by your personal shopper and coordinated with your lawyer, before you commit to a purchase.

  1. Title search & ownership history

    We verify clean, unencumbered title and confirm the seller has full legal authority to sell.

  2. Building permits & licences

    We confirm the property has valid building permits, first occupation licence and all required certifications.

  3. Debts & encumbrances

    We check for outstanding mortgages, charges, embargoes and community fee arrears that would transfer to the buyer.

  4. Urban planning status

    We verify the property's urban classification and confirm there are no pending infraction files or compulsory orders.

  5. Community fees & charges

    We review community statutes, current fee levels and any planned capital expenditure that would affect the buyer.

  6. Structural & technical inspection

    On request, we arrange an independent technical survey by an external specialist (separate paid service) to find defects before you commit.

  7. Price benchmarking vs. market

    We compare the asking price against closed transactions in the same zone and segment to validate or challenge the ask.

  8. Developer track record (new builds)

    For off-plan purchases we review the developer's financial standing, delivery history and bank guarantees protecting your deposit.

  9. Contract & notarial review

    We coordinate with your lawyer to review all contracts before signing and attend the notary closing in your interest.

What we offer

Services for buyers

Every service is buyer-side only, designed around your goals rather than a seller's listing.

Property search

Your personal shopper runs a full-market search across portals, developers and off-market stock, filtered to your exact brief.

Zone intelligence

In-depth zone reports covering price trends, infrastructure, lifestyle factors and comparable transactions.

New developments

Direct access to developer price lists, floor plans and availability, including pre-launch allocations that never reach the portals.

Price negotiation

Buyer-side negotiation on price, terms, furnishings and deposit structure, with no conflict of interest.

Due diligence

Nine-point verification covering title, permits, debts, planning status and structural condition, before you commit.

Closing coordination

Your personal shopper coordinates with your lawyer, the seller's side and the notary through to the day of signing, and helps you get purchase-ready with your NIE and a Spanish bank account.

Settling in

After completion, we connect you with trusted partners for utilities, insurance, renovations, furnishing and schools, plus the lifestyle side: healthcare, getting around, and local leisure, sport and community. Your personal shopper coordinates the handover so the first months in your new home run smoothly.

Rental & property management

Through vetted local partners, we help you set up your property for rental: tourist licence, key handling, cleaning, guest management and monthly reporting. Your personal shopper introduces the partner and stays your point of contact.
