Independent property reports for foreign buyers on the Costa del Sol.
Foreign buyers often make decisions with incomplete information. The seller's agent represents the sale. Listings rarely show the full risk picture. Pricing can be unclear. Rental returns are often simplified. Documents may be missing. Emotion can move faster than analysis.
The result is a decision made on impression rather than evidence — and a deposit committed before the property is properly understood.
A clear buyer-side report that reviews the property before you commit, so you understand the fair price, comparable evidence, risks, missing documents, rental return, offer range and walk-away point.
Nine concrete outputs, written in plain language, prepared by a buyer-side analyst. Delivered as a clean PDF you can read, share with your lawyer or partner, and act on.
A listing is built to sell. A report is built to decide. One presents the property. The other tells you the price, risk and return — and where to walk away.
The full report is delivered as a typeset PDF. Below is an illustrative preview — the cover and one inside section. Figures shown are sample / illustrative only.
Share the listing link, asking price, location and a short note on your buyer goal.
A clean PDF with the nine outputs — price, risks, documents, return, offer range, walk-away point.
Read alone, with your lawyer, partner or investor. Ask follow-up questions if anything is unclear.
Continue, negotiate within the offer range, or walk away. The decision sits with you, on evidence.
Independence is the entire reason this report exists. Without it, the analysis is no longer analysis.
The Costa del Sol moves fast. Foreign buyers deserve a calm, independent view of the property — before the deposit, before the emotion, before the paperwork moves.
Home Note was created for foreign buyers who want a calm, independent second opinion before committing to property in Spain. Each report is prepared personally, in writing, and signed.
One property. One fixed fee. Buyer-side only, with no commission from the seller.
If the report shows the property is worth pursuing, Home Note can help coordinate the next steps — quietly, and always on the buyer's side. None of this is required to receive the report.
An in-person visit with a buyer-side eye. Notes, photos, and any visible issues documented.
Coordination with a local architect or technical inspector. Findings translated into buyer language.
Review of a live or recorded walkthrough. Visible decision risks flagged on a per-room basis.
Local presence during viewings, negotiation and next-step coordination, on your side.
Short-term vs. long-term rental potential compared, with a clear indication of the more rational route.
Sense-check on counter-offers, drafting language for written terms, and reading the seller side.
Direct introductions to independent lawyers and mortgage contacts. No referral payments.
Where relevant, introductions to trusted long-term or short-term rental operators in the area.
These are optional and not part of the €299 report. They are only relevant after the report is delivered.
Short, written pieces on pricing, documents, rental return and the decision-making questions every foreign buyer on the Costa del Sol should answer before they commit.
Asking prices are starting positions, not values. The honest comparison is against transactions, not other listings.

No. Home Note does not sell the property and is not paid by the seller. No listings, no inventory, no commission from the sale.
No. Home Note does not replace a lawyer. It helps you understand the property decision — price logic, risks, rental assumptions and next steps. Legal questions remain with your lawyer.
Yes. If the property is still worth pursuing, optional next-step support can include inspection coordination, property visit, negotiation support, or introductions to relevant professionals. Each is requested separately, after the report.
The Independent Property Report costs €299 for one property. The fee is fixed and includes all nine outputs.
The property link, asking price, location, your buyer goal (own use, investment, or both) and any documents or photos already available. Nothing more is required to start.
Most reports are delivered within a few working days. If a property requires additional document checks, this is flagged in advance.
That is a successful outcome. A clear "walk-away" finding is part of what the report is for.
Send the property and receive a clear buyer-side view of the price, risks, return, offer range and walk-away point.
