One of you may have a job offer here, the other may work remotely, or you are both starting fresh. I find a home that fits two routines and two budgets for space, and I handle the viewings, the negotiation and the first paperwork with you.

A commute for one, a quiet room with good internet for the other. Most listings tell you neither, and the photos are often years old.
If one of you starts a job in Valencia on a set date, you need a lease before then. Most flats only appear about a month ahead, and the good ones go in days.
A contract that has not started yet, or income from abroad, makes landlords hesitate. You need a file that answers their questions before they ask.
If one of you has an EU passport and the other does not, the paperwork splits into two paths. Getting the order wrong costs months.
On the strategy call we agree on areas, budget and the non-negotiables for each of you: commute, workspace, terrace, noise, pets.
Portals, agencies and private landlords, checked against your brief. I flag the fibre coverage, the second bedroom that is really a box room and the bars downstairs.
Up to five viewings with you, or on video on your behalf if you are still abroad. You see what I see, in real time.
Job offer letter, foreign payslips or freelance income, presented so a landlord can say yes quickly. Then I negotiate rent, deposit and conditions.
I check ownership in the land registry before you pay any reservation, explain the key clauses in plain English and do the check-in and inventory with you.
Utilities and internet in your name, then padrón, bank account and health card as extras if you want them. Visas and residence I leave to an immigration lawyer.
Most couples moving from abroad choose the Complete Search, because it covers the viewings and the signing. If one of you is already in Valencia and can do the viewings, Essential Search costs less.
I find and filter the options. You do the viewings.
I find it, view it, negotiate it and hand you the keys.
Pay with peace of mind. If you're not happy after our strategy call, the first working session once you've paid, I refund 100% of what you've paid. No excuses, no small print.
Both of you if you can. Dates, budget, work situations and what each of you needs from the home.
You sign the engagement letter, we fix areas and must-haves, and I put together your solvency file.
Shortlists with notes, viewings in person or on video, and a progress report on day 25 of the search month.
Negotiation, ownership check, contract review, check-in and utilities. Then the paperwork you have added.
A starting point. Every street is different, and I check yours at the hour that matters.
Cafés, restaurants and the market on your doorstep. Lively, central and noisy at weekends, so the street and floor matter.
Old-town lanes, character flats and walks to everything. Lifts and soundproofing vary a lot from building to building.
A village feel near the universities, a relaxed mixed crowd and more modest rents, with metro and tram.
Beach life and colourful fishermen's houses on the tram line. It changes street by street.
Elegant, calm and central, near the Colón market and the Viveros gardens. Larger flats and higher rents.
A real neighbourhood with a square, local shops and the metro. More space for the money, quieter at night.

When two people move, the home has to work for both routines. I listen to each of you on the first call and keep both lists in front of me at every viewing.
Complete Search is €1,500 + VAT (€1,815). Essential Search is €900 + VAT (€1,089). You pay 50% when you sign the engagement letter and 50% when you sign the lease. If no lease is signed, there is no second payment.
The search runs for up to one month, with a progress report on day 25. If we need more time, an extension of 15 days costs €300 + VAT. Starting about six weeks before your move works best.
Yes. I view on live video on your behalf, check ownership before you pay anything and go through the contract with you. Many couples sign before they arrive.
Yes. A signed offer letter strengthens your file a lot, even before the job starts. I present it together with any other income so the landlord sees the full picture.
I do not handle visas, residence cards or the NIE. There are specific routes for partners of EU citizens, and an immigration lawyer is the right person for your case. I refer you to one and plan the home search around their timeline.
No. Both of you can sign as tenants. What landlords look at is solvency, so I prepare a file that presents your combined situation clearly.
Yes. Everything with me is in English or Spanish, and I translate the key clauses of the contract for you.
You get a full refund. If the plan does not convince you after that first working call, you do not pay for it.
Tell me your dates and what each of you needs from the home. In 20 minutes we will have a plan.
