About Purcell Properties

Purcell Properties is an estate agency in Sotogrande, founded by Ronan Purcell, an Irish agent who made the Costa del Sol his home. We know that buying property abroad can feel overwhelming: thousands of listings, dozens of portals, and no clear sense of where to start. That's where we come in.

At Purcell Properties, we take a different approach. Rather than pointing you towards a database and wishing you luck, we sit down, listen to what matters to you, and do the legwork ourselves. Every property we put in front of you has been selected specifically for you, matched to your brief, your budget, and the way you actually want to live. Whether you're looking at high-end resales along the coast or off-plan developments in sought-after locations, we'll give you clear, honest comparisons so you can buy with confidence.

We began our careers in the Irish property market before spending several years working across the UAE. Today we're based in the heart of Sotogrande, and we cover the full Costa del Sol coastline from Málaga to San Roque. For buyers coming from Ireland that matters: we know how a purchase works at home, so we can explain exactly where Spain differs, from the NIE number to the notary. We chose to make Spain home ourselves, so we understand the journey you're on. We've made it too.

Our service is personal by design. From the moment you get in touch, you'll deal with us directly. No call centres, no generic mailouts. We work one-to-one with every client, from your first viewing through to the day you collect your keys. We handle the introductions to trusted local solicitors, financial advisors, and anyone else you need along the way.

We sell homes as well as find them. If you own a property in Sotogrande or elsewhere on the coast, we will value it honestly, market it properly and deal with buyers on your behalf. Several of our clients have sold without leaving Ireland.

What our clients tell us they value most is simple: we listen. We'd rather show you five properties that genuinely fit than fifty that don't. After our initial consultation, we'll send you a curated shortlist based on what you've told us, and we'll refine it based on your honest feedback until we get it right.

And our relationship doesn't end at completion. Settling into a new home in a new country comes with its own questions, from setting up utilities and finding reliable tradespeople to navigating local admin. We stay on hand after you've moved in, offering the same personal support and trusted introductions that got you to the finish line in the first place.

Buying a home on the Costa del Sol should be one of the most exciting things you ever do. Our job is to keep it that way: straightforward, enjoyable, and focused entirely on you.
