The Costa Property Podcast
The Costa Property Podcast is your first step to making your dream home in Spain, on the Costa Del Sol 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.

#110 How to Plan a Successful Costa del Sol Buying Trip (Avoid the #1 Mistake That Catches Buyers Out)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Costa Property Podcast, Sandra Laurie sits down solo to unpack the single biggest mistake she sees international buyers make on their Costa del Sol buying trip and how to make sure you don't make it yourself.
The team at WL Costa Properties have spent 30+ years combined experience walking international buyers through the Costa del Sol coastline. We know exactly where the trip falls apart, what causes the burnout by day three, and what the buyers who get it right do differently.
You'll hear ⬇️
- Why most buying trips fail before they even begin (and it has nothing to do with the properties)
- The lifestyle-first framework that flips the entire buying process on its head
- Why you should NEVER try to see the full 160km Costa del Sol coastline in one trip
- Sandra's exact 3-location shortlist method and how to choose yours
- Why hiring a car is non-negotiable
- How to pace a buying trip like a local, not a tourist
- The 3 things you MUST do before you book your flights
