YOUR PROPERTY ADVISOR ON THE COSTA DEL SOL
We don't start with the property.
We start with you.
Buying a property in Spain is a big decision. Sydboende helps you understand what you’re looking for, find the right options, and make better-informed decisions along the way.
HOW IT WORKS
Your advisor throughout the property purchase
Sydboende is here for you as the buyer—with a focus on finding the right property for you.
We start by understanding your needs, lifestyle, and circumstances. From there, we help you find relevant options and guide you through the process of dealing with estate agents and other parties. With Sydboende, you get a Swedish, personal contact on the ground on the Costa del Sol—before, during, and after the property viewing.
From dream to decision
A property purchase on the Costa del Sol doesn’t start with a viewing. It starts with understanding what’s right for you.
Get to know you
We start with your needs, your lifestyle, your budget, and how you want to use the property.
Find the right options
We help you navigate relevant properties and connect with the right estate agent.
Look beyond the brochure
If needed, we accompany you to the viewing and help you notice things that aren’t always apparent in the presentation.
Financing
Based on your circumstances, we can help you find a financing solution that suits you.
Make the decision
We help you identify which questions to ask and what may need to be investigated before you move forward.
As a buyer, you pay nothing for Sydboende’s services. Our compensation comes from a share of the estate agent’s commission paid by the seller when a transaction is completed. Sydboende is not tied to any specific estate agent. This allows us to work with different agents and focus on your needs, preferences, and circumstances.
FINANCING
Financing advice
Buying a property in Spain often involves different financing options and processes than those we are used to in Sweden.
Within Sydboende, we have over 25 years of experience in banking and finance, both in the Swedish and international markets. We understand how Spanish banks operate and what financing options may be available when purchasing a property in Spain.
Based on your circumstances, we can discuss different options and help you find a financing solution that suits you.

Johan Forsström
Founder of Sydboende and the business concept
The company was founded after Johan purchased a holiday home by the Mediterranean.
His analysis of the buying process was that the purchase itself was simple and smooth—but there was a lot to take care of afterwards before the holiday life could truly begin.
Johan explains:
– We had no local support, and the first three to four trips after the purchase were spent solving a number of practical issues, as well as clearing up various misunderstandings—mainly due to language barriers etc.
There wasn’t much of a holiday, but unfortunately quite a few sleepless nights.
It also ended up being more expensive than we had anticipated, as several unexpected fees popped up here and there.
That’s when I identified a clear customer need.
Namely, a service provider who offers a transparent, Swedish-speaking and fully managed purchase process.
Hence our slogan: “Turn your dream into reality.”
