Why buy your Sotogrande property with CVP Properties?
We are not the biggest agency in Sotogrande. We are the most attentive — and for an international buyer navigating an unfamiliar market, that makes all the difference.
We Know Every Property
CVP Properties specialises specifically in San Roque Club and Sotogrande Alto. We know every community, every building and most of the owners — which means we can tell you honestly what represents value and what to avoid.
Fully Bilingual
Amanda handles all English-speaking clients. Camilo handles Spanish. You always communicate in your own language — no friction, no translation issues, no miscommunication at any stage of your purchase.
You Work Directly with the Founders
When you call CVP Properties, you speak directly with Camilo or Amanda — not a junior agent. The people who know your requirements personally are the same people accompanying your viewings and negotiating on your behalf.
Perfect for International Buyers
We have guided dozens of international buyers through the Sotogrande purchase process — from NIE number to notarised completion. We understand every step and can support buyers who are managing the process remotely.
Honest, Not Pushy
We will tell you honestly if a property is overpriced, if an area has issues or if a better option is coming. Our reputation is built on clients who trust us — not on closing as many deals as quickly as possible.
We Manage It All After Purchase Too
Once you own your Sotogrande property, CVP Properties can manage it completely — cleaning, pool, garden, maintenance and key holding. One relationship, for the full lifecycle of your property.

What does it cost to buy in Sotogrande?
Beyond the purchase price, buyers in Andalusia should budget 10–13% in taxes and fees. Here is a clear breakdown of every cost you need to plan for.
Transfer Tax (ITP)
Paid on resale properties in Andalusia. Applied to the purchase price.
VAT (New Builds)
New build properties pay 10% VAT instead of ITP. Plus 1.5% stamp duty.
Notary & Registry
Notary fees, land registry inscription and associated costs.
Legal Fees
Your independent lawyer’s fee — essential and non-negotiable for every purchase.
Budget 10–13% on top of the purchase price to cover all taxes and fees. These costs are fixed — they cannot be negotiated — so it is essential to factor them in from the start.
Frequently asked questions from buyers
Honest answers to the questions we hear most often from international buyers considering property in Sotogrande.
No. Non-residents can freely purchase property in Spain. You will need an NIE number (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) — your Spanish tax identification number — which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in your home country or at a police station in Spain. Our team can guide you through this process.
From offer acceptance to completion, a typical purchase in Sotogrande takes between 6 and 12 weeks. Cash purchases can be faster. The main stages are: reservation agreement and deposit (1–3% to secure the property), private purchase contract and 10% deposit, and final completion at the notary. Your lawyer manages this timeline on your behalf.
Yes, though non-residents typically have access to lower loan-to-value ratios than residents — usually up to 60–70% of the property value. Several Spanish banks offer non-resident mortgages and we can connect you with a trusted mortgage broker who specialises in international buyers in this area.
Yes — hiring an independent lawyer is essential and non-negotiable. Your lawyer must be completely independent from both the agent and the seller. They will conduct full due diligence on the property, verify there are no outstanding debts or charges, check planning permissions and protect your interests throughout. We work with several highly regarded multilingual lawyers in the Sotogrande area and are happy to make introductions.
No. Many of our buyers are based in the UK, Ireland or Northern Europe and manage the entire process remotely. With a Spanish lawyer and a power of attorney in place, your lawyer can represent you at the notary on completion day. We support remote buyers throughout and keep you informed at every stage.
We focus specifically on San Roque Club and Sotogrande Alto — two of the most sought-after addresses in the area. This focused approach means we have deep knowledge of what is available, what represents genuine value and what to avoid. We are not a general listing platform — every property we represent has been personally reviewed by our team.
Gibraltar Airport is approximately 30 minutes by car — making it extremely convenient for British and European buyers who want easy UK connections. Málaga International Airport is approximately 75 minutes away with connections to destinations worldwide.
The area’s flagship school is Sotogrande International School (SIS), which offers the International Baccalaureate programme from ages 3 to 18 in English, catering to both day and boarding students. It is one of Spain’s most respected international schools and a major reason why international families choose Sotogrande. Spanish state and private schools are also available in nearby San Roque and surrounding towns.
