Who runs this website

Before You Buy Property (beforeyoubuyproperty.com) is run by Oleg Chupryna, a private individual living on the Costa del Sol. You can read more on the About page.

What the website is for

An information guide to buying, building and new-build homes on the Costa del Sol, for foreign buyers. We do not sell property and we are not an estate agency, a law firm or a tax adviser. Nothing is sold or paid for on this website. If you ask about a paid service, such as a check before you sign or a snagging inspection, we answer by email, and any terms are agreed with you in writing before work starts.

Information on this website

We check facts against the sources listed on each page and show when they were last verified, but laws, rates and developments change, and errors can happen. Information on this website is not legal, tax or financial advice. Calculators give estimates only. Always check with an independent lawyer before you sign anything or pay any money.

What we write is not for sale. If anything on the website is ever paid for, it is clearly labelled as sponsored, and the label says who paid.

Intellectual property

Texts, photos, illustrations and design on this website belong to the website owner unless another author is credited. Renders and photos supplied by others are credited where they appear. You may quote short parts with a link to the page; please ask before copying more.

We link to official sources and other websites for information. We are not responsible for their content.

Applicable law

This website is governed by Spanish law. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the consumer law and the courts of the place where you live.

Your data

How we handle personal data is explained in the privacy policy, and what we store on your device in the cookie policy.
