Editorial Policy
How we create, review, and maintain the content on Property Find — and why you can trust it.
Our Editorial Mission
Property Find exists to help international buyers make informed decisions about buying property on the Costa del Sol. Our editorial mission is simple: publish content that is accurate, practical, and trustworthy — content we would give to our own clients before they signed anything.
We do not publish content to rank in search engines or to generate leads. We publish content because buyers have genuine questions and deserve genuine answers, backed by real expertise.
Editorial Principles
Accuracy First
Every factual claim, price indication, legal requirement, and process description is checked against current Spanish legislation and verified transactional experience. We do not publish guesses or estimates that could mislead buyers.
Expert Authorship
All content on Property Find is written or reviewed by Olga Gorshkova, a licensed real estate professional with 15+ years on the Costa del Sol. We do not publish AI-generated content without human expert review.
Regular Updates
Spanish property law, tax rates, and market conditions change. We review all content at least annually, or whenever significant legislative changes occur. Each piece carries a "Last reviewed" date.
Clear Disclosures
Where content has commercial relevance (e.g. featured developments, affiliate links), this is disclosed. Our editorial judgements are never influenced by developer fees or promotional arrangements.
