Luxury real estate from €1,000,000 on the Costa del Sol

Villas and penthouses in the top tier. A large portion of these properties are not listed on any portal. The purchasing process here is different: discreet, within a small circle, and with its own tax implications. We work in this segment by appointment and on a named basis.

How this segment works differently

Different properties, different sellers, different agreements.

Villas and penthouses, no standard floor plans

Private plot, private pool, private driveway

Front-line sea views or panoramic vistas

Tailor-made materials, installations, and finishes

Few properties, few buyers, longer lead times

Specific tax considerations for purchase and ownership

Off-market

What buying off-market means

A large portion of this inventory is never advertised. Sellers do not want a sign at the gate, a stream of visitors, or an asking price on the internet. That inventory is handled through a closed circle of lawyers, architects, and developers. We are part of that circle.

FAQ

Answers to the questions that frequently arise in this segment.

What are the additional costs?

For existing properties, you should factor in approximately 10-15% on top of the purchase price for transfer tax, notary fees, registration, and legal assistance. For new builds, VAT applies instead of transfer tax. In this segment, surveys and tax structuring are often added. We provide a full breakdown of all costs in advance.

How do I find off-market properties?

Through a network of lawyers, architects, private bankers, and developers. We see properties before they hit the market. Some never do. We select based on your criteria and only show you what fits. No lists, no noise.

What taxes are associated with ownership?

In addition to the annual IBI, as a non-resident, you must file a tax return for your Spanish property. Above a certain threshold, wealth tax also applies. If you rent out the property, tax is levied on the net rental income. Rates and thresholds vary by region and situation. Our tax specialist will calculate your specific case before you buy.

Is a property survey necessary?

At this price point, it is essential. An independent architect will inspect the build quality, installations, and the legality of every extension and outbuilding. Anything not registered does not exist legally. It is better to know that before you make an offer.

How is my purchase kept discreet?

As discreet as you wish. We arrange viewings by appointment, away from the crowds. Your name is only disclosed to the seller once you make an offer. We work under a non-disclosure agreement, and you will have a single point of contact within our team.

Client testimonials

I am very happy with my purchase and extremely satisfied with the highly personal and professional guidance from René and the team at Cooiman Capital.

I got in touch with René Cooiman via Instagram regarding The Palms At Estepona project. After a personal online meeting, I was incredibly enthusiastic about this fantastic project! René provided a clear explanation of the entire project and offered excellent guidance. As a result, I decided to purchase a beautiful apartment! The sales event in Schiedam was also meticulously organised by his entire team. Everything was very personal and customer-focused!

René and his team provided us with excellent support during the purchase of our apartment in Spain. The team is highly committed, takes all your requirements into account, and dedicates plenty of time to finding exactly what you are looking for. We spent a day in Spain visiting selected projects, and this day was also perfectly organised. They gave presentations and took us to the construction sites, giving us a clear picture of everything. In our opinion, they are an expert and efficient team – highly recommended!
