The most important question to ask ourselves is: how well do I know the legal conditions in this country? For most Poles, they are likely quite complicated. This is not surprising, as even when buying a house in Poland, we have to spend a lot of time to fully understand all the intricacies of contracts or loans. However, this is not an obstacle, but rather a sign to do thorough research and use the help of trusted specialists. The real estate agency International Investment Marbella has over 20 years of experience in its sector. The experts know all the ins and outs of investing in property in Spain – especially on the Costa del Sol.

They will also advise whether it is more beneficial to seek financing from Polish or Spanish banks. You don’t need to know the language, as bilingual advisors will handle everything.
