Buying remotely from Saudi Arabia
Much of the initial search can be conducted while the client remains in Saudi Arabia. We provide carefully selected options, remote viewings, photographic and video documentation, comparative reports and coordination with the client’s appointed legal and financial advisers in Spain.
When an in-person visit is planned, we organise a focused viewing programme based on previously agreed criteria.
A home considered around your family
Every family uses a home differently. We consider privacy, reception spaces, bedroom distribution, circulation, outdoor areas, security, staff accommodation where required, proximity to airports and services, and the way the property will be occupied throughout the year.
These requirements are discussed privately and incorporated into the search brief without assumptions.
Your independent property adviser in Spain
We represent international buyers looking for a home, second residence or property investment in Spain. We combine a whole-market search, architectural insight and personal coordination before, during and after the purchase.
Based in Madrid, operating throughout Spain and professionally experienced in Saudi Arabia, we provide one trusted point of contact so that you can make decisions with greater clarity, confidence and peace of mind.
INDEPENDENCE
We work for you, not for the seller
A traditional estate agency markets the properties in its portfolio and normally acts on behalf of the owner. ALARIFE Property Advisory begins from the other side of the transaction: first we understand your requirements, then we search for the right property through agencies, developers, owners and professional contacts.
Our role is to help you compare alternatives, understand both their strengths and limitations, and negotiate from the buyer’s perspective. If any third-party remuneration arises in a transaction, it will be disclosed transparently.
THREE CORE SERVICES
Property search and purchase
We define the brief, research the market, conduct preliminary viewings, prepare a reasoned shortlist and coordinate the transaction through to key handover.
International property transactions require early coordination of identification documents, Spanish administrative requirements, banking arrangements and evidence concerning the origin of funds. We help the client organise the process with their appointed Spanish lawyer, tax adviser and bank.
Alarife does not provide legal, tax or financial advice, but ensures that the appropriate independent professionals are involved at the right stage.
Architectural insight
We consider layout, orientation, visible condition, renovation potential, lighting and suitability for the buyer’s way of life before a decision is made.
Property Care
Our involvement can continue after completion. We supervise the home while it is unoccupied, coordinate suppliers and prepare the property before each arrival.
Your home in Spain, cared for while you are away
Many international owners use their Spanish residence during specific periods of the year. Between visits, Alarife can coordinate scheduled inspections, maintenance, secure access, garden and pool services, incident reporting and preparation of the home before the family arrives.
Remote security and connected systems
We can coordinate qualified providers for the installation of remotely accessible cameras, video entry systems, alarms and connected sensors. Access credentials remain under the owner’s control, and all installations must comply with Spanish privacy, security and owners’ association requirements.
Discretion and confidentiality
We understand that privacy may be essential when searching for or acquiring property. Client identities, family requirements, budgets and transaction details are treated confidentially and shared only with the professionals whose involvement has been authorised.
We do not publish client names, photographs, properties or testimonials without explicit permission.

SAUDI BUYERS
A trusted connection between the Saudi Arabia and Spain
Buying from abroad requires far more than receiving property links. It requires availability, discretion, clear information and someone able to represent your priorities in Spain. Our professional experience in Saudi Arabia gives us a direct understanding of the value placed on personal relationships, privacy, family needs and long-term trust.
We assist buyers from Saudi Arabia and, progressively, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Communication is available in English and Spanish, with essential materials and professional language support in Arabic.
DESTINATIONS
A different Spain for every way of life
Madrid as a European base. Marbella for the sea, golf and privacy. Valencia and the Costa Blanca for Mediterranean quality and value. Barcelona and Catalonia for international city life and coastline. Northern Spain for nature, milder summers and space. We help you choose not only a property, but the location that best suits you and your family.
TRUST
Technical experience and personal attention
Diego Ocaña is an architect and Senior Lighting Designer with more than thirty years of international experience and professional activity in Saudi Arabia since 2019. His background allows him to look beyond a property’s sales presentation and to coordinate the professionals involved with sound judgement.
