Andalucía Country Houses & Architects - Specialists in Country Homes, Architecture & Property Legalisation
Buying a property in rural Andalucía is unlike buying a typical home on the coast. Every country property has its own history, planning background and legal considerations.
At Andalucía Country Houses, we combine experienced estate agency services with in-house architectural and planning expertise, giving our clients a level of advice that very few agencies can offer.
Whether you are searching for a country estate, village house, boutique hotel, tourist complex, equestrian property or restoration project, we help you make informed decisions with confidence.
Find the right property. Understand what you're buying. Purchase with confidence.
Just wanted to thank you again for having found Mike and Claire to buy my old finca.
They are making a real go of it and are the perfect couple to do this.
It is good all round for everyone and you made it possible through determined and consistent work.
Thank you!
I hope you are well and thriving.
Best wishes,
Phil

When you are looking for a proactive, honest and friendly estate agent don’t look any further. We are newbies on the property market in Spain and fell in love with a small townhouse in Montejaque. The whole process was seamlessly and professionally guided by Karen. If it wasn’t for her efforts the deal could have been in danger of falling to pieces.
But for her calm demeanor and very hands on approach, we realized our dream.
Nothing we asked her was any trouble and gave us a quick response on any subject!
Wholeheartedly thanks for everything Karen! We very much appreciate the kind and honest words during the various stages of negotiating and closure.
A warm greeting from André and Klara, The Netherlands
