Los Dolses & the southern Costa Blanca
Move to the Costa Blanca with trusted local support
Practical help for people moving from the UK or Belgium to Los Dolses, Orihuela Costa and the southern Costa Blanca — from your first "could we actually do this?" conversation through to settling in.
Why people talk to us first
A genuine connection to Los Dolses, not a call-centre script
Move to Costa Blanca was started around a real family connection to Los Dolses and years of relationships with local tradespeople, agents and professionals along the southern Costa Blanca. We're not a nationwide portal that happens to list Spain — this is a deliberately narrow, local focus.
Honest about what we are
We plan, research and introduce. We do not provide legal, tax, immigration, mortgage or financial advice ourselves — and we'll tell you plainly when you need a qualified professional instead of us.
Local relationships, built over time
Our contacts in and around Los Dolses and Orihuela Costa have been built through direct family ties to the area, not a directory of paid listings.
One area, done properly
We focus on the southern Costa Blanca — Los Dolses, Villamartín, Orihuela Costa, La Zenia and neighbouring towns — rather than spreading thin across all of Spain.
How it works
A simple, low-pressure process
Most people start with more questions than answers. Our process is built to bring clarity before you commit to anything.

What to expect from us
We're a new service, so rather than quote clients we don't have yet, here's plainly what we aim to deliver on every call — and we'll update this section with real client feedback once we have it.
No pressure, ever
Every call is planning-first. We're not paid on commission to rush you toward a property or a decision.
Straight answers
If something is outside what we do, or needs a qualified professional, we say so directly rather than guessing.
Local, not generic
Guidance shaped around Los Dolses and the southern Costa Blanca specifically, not a one-size-fits-all Spain script.
FAQ
Questions people ask before that first call
Are you Spanish lawyers, estate agents or financial advisers?
No. Move to Costa Blanca is an independent relocation-planning and introductions service. We are not Spanish lawyers, tax advisers, estate agents, immigration advisers, mortgage brokers or financial advisers. Where regulated or personalised advice is needed — residency, tax, conveyancing, mortgages — we introduce you to appropriately qualified local professionals rather than advising you ourselves.
Do you have an office in Spain?
We work with trusted local contacts in and around Los Dolses and Orihuela Costa built through a genuine family connection to the area, and we coordinate planning calls, research and introductions remotely. We're upfront that this is a planning and introductions service rather than a staffed local branch office.
Is this only for people buying property?
No. We help with renting, buying, and the many people who sensibly rent for a period before deciding where to buy. Our first conversation is about your situation and timeline, not a sales pitch for a purchase.
I'm coming from Belgium, not the UK — is this still for me?
Yes. We run separate guidance tracks for UK movers (who face post-Brexit visa and residency paperwork) and Belgian and other EU movers (whose starting point as an EU citizen is different). See our dedicated pages for each route.
How much does it cost to talk to you?
The initial move-planning call is free. If you'd like ongoing help with research, introductions or coordination beyond that call, we'll always explain any cost clearly before you commit to anything.
What areas do you cover?
Our focus is the southern Costa Blanca: Los Dolses, Villamartín, Orihuela Costa, La Zenia, Playa Flamenca, Cabo Roig, Campoamor, Punta Prima, Torrevieja, San Miguel de Salinas, Ciudad Quesada and Rojales. We don't claim coverage of all of Spain — this is a deliberately local, specialist focus.
Ready to talk through your move?
A free, no-obligation planning call is the best way to see whether the southern Costa Blanca — and Los Dolses in particular — is the right fit for your family.
