The Costa Property Podcast
Welcome to the Costa Property Podcast!
Your first step to making your dream home in Spain a reality.
We are Warner and Sandra, founders of WL Costa Properties. Eight years ago, we relocated from Ireland to Benalmádena, chasing our dream of owning a home in the sun and living an outdoor Mediterranean lifestyle with our family.
Our business was born from our own relocation journey, inspired by the advice, services, and support we wished had been available to us.
Now, through this podcast, we’re here to help you turn your dream into reality.
Join us each week as we share expert insights from life in spain, property lawyers, real estate agents, and relocation specialists, alongside practical advice and personal stories (with a dash of mindset along the way!)
From navigating Spanish property laws and securing financing to choosing the right location and building your ideal expat lifestyle, we cover it all! Including the highs and lows.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, an investor, a retiree, a digital nomad, or a family seeking a new adventure, this podcast will empower you to confidently make your move to the Costa del Sol.
