Livin'Valencia - Renovation management

From Newcomers to Neighbors: The Start of Livin’Valencia

When we first arrived in Valencia in 2011, we were full of excitement, and a little overwhelmed. We had to learn everything step by step: navigating the rental market in fast Spanish, setting up padrón and NIE appointments, comparing schools, buying our first home, and surviving our first renovation that really tested our patience and budget.

What began as a personal journey of trial and error slowly became something more. Friends started asking us for advice, then friends of friends. We realized that the experience we had lived, both the challenges and the lessons, could make the path clearer for others.

That’s how Livin’Valencia was born: not from theory, but from real life.

An Independent Way of Working

From the beginning, we wanted to be different. No commissions from sellers. No hidden agendas. Just one simple promise: we work for you, and only you, on a clear fixed fee. That independence means we can scan the full market, highlight risks as well as opportunities, and help you make decisions with confidence.

Behind us stands a network of trusted professionals – lawyers, mortgage brokers, architects, and more – but we remain fully independent. Our role is to be your steady point of reference, translating complexity into clarity and ensuring each step is fact-checked before you move forward.

  • Clear updates instead of noise.
