Who we are

Fall for the coast. We'll find the expert.

We help Northern Europeans fall for the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca, show them beautiful homes honestly, and when they are ready, introduce them to a local expert who speaks their language.

Who we are

A guide and a matchmaker, never the agency

Ashworth & Drake is a discovery brand for the Spanish coast, not an estate agency. We hold no listings of our own and take no commission on a sale. Our work is to help you fall for the right town, show you homes framed honestly, and introduce you to a vetted local expert when you are ready. Because we are paid for the introduction and never the sale, we can tell you the quiet part: the real trade-offs, the fair price, the street that fills up in August.

Why you can trust us

On your side, by design

No listings of our own

We hold nothing we need you to buy, so we can point you toward the right home, wherever it happens to be.

No commission on the sale

We are paid to make the right introduction, not to close you on a house, so we can be honest about a home and its price.

One introduction, in your language

When you are ready, we hand you to a vetted local expert who knows the town and speaks your language. Not a call centre, not ten agents at once.

How it works

Five steps, and you are never on your own

From your first message to the keys in your hand, here is how we introduce you and stay close.

Step 01 / 05

Tell us the brief

Share what you are looking for: the budget, the bedrooms, and the kind of life you want on the coast.

How we help

How we help you find the coast, and the home

Fall for the coast first

We start with the life, not the listing: the towns, the food, the seasons, the feel of a place lived mostly outside. The home comes after the daydream.

Beautiful homes, honestly framed

We curate fewer homes and show them better, with real prices and the real trade-offs. The slice of sea view is a slice, and we say so.

Plain-language know-how

Buying in Spain without the guesswork: the NIE, the taxes, the process and the traps, explained before you need them.

The right introduction

When you are ready, one introduction to a vetted local expert who knows the town and speaks your language. Never a hard sell.

Where we look

From the Costa del Sol to the Costa Blanca

Costa del Sol

Marbella mornings, Estepona's old town, the drive down to Sotogrande. Sun almost every day and an international life already in full swing.

Costa Blanca

Jávea's coves, a long lunch in Moraira, the road up to Altea. Quieter and greener, and just as easy to fall for.

The honest part

We are not an estate agency, we are the introduction.

We learn what you want, match you with a local expert we trust, and stay by your side. No pressure, no obligation.
