1-10 Your First Spain Property Brief in Five Decisions

Give your Personal Shopper a clear picture of the life you want to build.

Before saving another Spanish listing, describe an ordinary week in your future home. Will you be there for two summer visits, several months each year, or everyday life? That answer changes what a useful property search should deliver.

Make five decisions first

Write down your intended use, preferred setting, comfortable total budget, essential features, and target timing. Separate requirements from preferences: step-free access may be essential; a guest room used twice a year may be negotiable. If two people are buying together, each should identify one feature they cannot compromise on.

Translate the brief into a property test

A home office means more than a spare bedroom. Ask about usable workspace, reliable connectivity, and a layout that lets someone take a call while guests are visiting. A second home also needs a practical plan for the months you are away. These are questions to resolve during selection, not after collecting the keys.

See the difference in a real example

The Playetas house in Oropesa del Mar is listed with an office and a separate lower-floor living area. It is a useful example for buyers considering guests and workspace, but those features alone do not establish suitability. Your Personal Shopper should connect each feature to your brief and flag what still needs checking.
