About MONTARA
A different way to buy in Spain.
MONTARA is an advisory, not a listings site. We exist to hold the whole picture of a purchase — the search, the people, the paperwork and the progress — for buyers who are doing this from another country.
Philosophy
If it were printed as a magazine, it should still be credible.
Property in this part of Spain is sold by people who know it well and present it badly. International buyers then do the joining-up themselves: one agent to view, another to advise, a lawyer found through a search engine, and a currency transfer arranged in a hurry.
We think the experience should be as considered as the property. That means a shortlist with reasons attached, a viewing organised properly, and a purchase you can see the shape of from the first week.
Why we exist
Three problems, one advisory.
Fragmentation
Nobody holds the whole purchase. Buyers become the project manager for the most expensive thing they have ever bought.
Presentation
Genuinely good homes are routinely presented badly, which distorts the market and wastes buyers' trips.
Distance
Buying from another country makes every small delay feel like a risk. Visibility fixes most of that.
Local network
People on the ground.
Viewings and valuations come from local partners in Mojácar, Vera and Garrucha who live and work on this coast. We are not a call centre with a Spanish postcode.

International buyer focus
Built for buying from another country.
Most of our buyers are in the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium and Northern Europe. That shapes everything: the way we explain the process, the way we run remote viewings, and the way we keep a purchase visible when you are not in the country.
Language matters here. The detail of a Spanish purchase is hard enough in your first language; we make sure it is explained properly in yours.
Technology
Technology should be felt through the experience.
Not through claims about it. The portal exists so that a purchase from another country stops being a series of unanswered emails.
