Free Property Valuation — Marbella, Benahavís & Estepona
Free Property Valuation — Marbella, Benahavís & Estepona
Whether you are selling, buying, applying for a mortgage, or simply curious what your Costa del Sol property is worth — an accurate valuation is the starting point. We provide free, independent property valuations based on comparable sales data, current market conditions, and deep local knowledge of every neighbourhood from La Zagaleta to the New Golden Mile.
What Our Valuation Includes
- Comparable sales analysis: recent transactions in the same urbanisation and surrounding area, adjusted for size, condition, and features
- Current market context: demand levels, average days on market, asking-to-completion price ratios in your specific micro-location
- Property condition assessment: build quality, renovation status, energy efficiency, and how these affect market value
- Rental yield estimate: projected gross rental income if you were to let the property short-term or long-term
Why Valuations Matter
For sellers
Overpricing is the most common mistake sellers make on the Costa del Sol. A property priced 10% above market sits unsold for months, then sells below market after multiple price reductions. A realistic starting price based on actual comparable sales generates more interest and typically achieves a better result.
For buyers
Before making an offer, you need to know whether the asking price is fair. Our valuation tells you what similar properties have actually sold for — not what they were listed at. This gives you the data to negotiate from a position of strength. As your buyer advisor, we use this analysis to guide every offer we make.
For mortgage applications
Spanish banks commission their own official valuation (tasación) for mortgage purposes. Our informal valuation gives you an early indication of what the bank valuation is likely to come back at — so you know before committing whether the mortgage will cover what you expect.
How We Value Properties
Portal listing prices are unreliable. Properties are frequently listed at 15-20% above what they will actually sell for. We use actual completion prices from the Land Registry, cross-referenced with our network of agents who share recent transaction data. We know that a 4-bed villa in Nueva Andalucía sold for €2.3M last month, not the €2.7M it was listed at.
Local knowledge matters enormously. Two villas on the same street can have a 20% price difference based on orientation, views, road noise, or community management quality. We know which urbanisations command premiums and which ones are softening.
Market Context 2026

- Benahavís: La Zagaleta €4K-8K/m². La Quinta €2.5K-4K/m². Lowest tax rate, strict planning = value preservation.
- Estepona: New Golden Mile €2K-3.5K/m². Fastest appreciation on the coast. New builds selling out pre-completion.
FAQ
Is the valuation really free?
Yes. No obligation, no commitment. We provide valuations as part of our advisory service and to build relationships with property owners on the coast.
Is this the same as a bank valuation?
No. Our valuation is an informal market assessment. A bank tasación is a formal, regulated valuation required for mortgages, costing €300-500. Our valuation gives you a reliable indication before you commit to the formal process.
How quickly can you provide a valuation?
For properties we know well (most urbanisations in Marbella, Benahavís and Estepona), we can provide an initial assessment within 24-48 hours. For unusual or very high-value properties, we may need 3-5 days to gather comparable data.
