Your New Build Journey | Sunshine Homes

Why every price looks different

The FROM price problem

Search any portal and the same development will appear at a dozen different prices, with a dozen different photos, under a dozen different agents. It is enough to make any sensible buyer assume something is being hidden. Nothing is. You are simply seeing the same development advertised by many agents, each leading with the cheapest available unit, the famous "from" price.

That "from" figure is almost always the smallest ground floor apartment in the earliest phase. The home you actually want, a top floor with a larger terrace, a corner plot, a penthouse, a unit with a sea view, sits well above it. None of that is visible from a portal headline. So buyers compare a "from" price here against a "from" price there and end up comparing nothing at all.

The fix is not more browsing. It is talking to one team who can put the real, unit level numbers in front of you, which is exactly where our process leads. Once you see the full price list, the mystery disappears.

The pathway

Your journey, stage by stage

You reach out

You send an enquiry

It starts the moment you enquire, whether through our website, a portal listing, or one of our Facebook ads. Often that enquiry is about one specific new build that has caught your eye, and that is completely natural. It is a great starting point.

From our side, that enquiry is not a click to be processed. It is the beginning of a relationship. The property you asked about tells us a great deal already, the style of home and the budget you are working to, so we treat it as the first line of your story rather than the whole of it.

What this stage is really about

That first enquiry is a clue, not a commitment. The exact unit may sell, but what it tells us about your taste and budget is gold, and it shapes everything we do next.

We listen

We open your file and try to call

Next we open a file for you based on what you enquired about, and we will try to call. This is the most important part to understand, so we will say it plainly. This call is not to sell you that house. It is to listen and understand what you actually need, because with new build the right information depends entirely on who you are.

Are you relocating, in which case you may need guidance on residency and visas. Are you buying a holiday home that needs to be easy to lock up and leave. Are you an investor, where rental licensing and phase pricing matter most. Or do you need a mortgage, where your finance position must be understood before we point you at anything. Each of these needs a very different conversation, and with new build the timescales and completion dates make that even more true.

Why the call matters more with new build

A resale home exists today. A new build may complete in 2027. If we do not know your timescale, we cannot tell you whether a development even fits, let alone which phase or which unit.

If we have not spoken yet

The missed call, and why it stalls you

We will be honest with you. Our pick up rates are low. People are busy, numbers look unfamiliar, and a call from Spain is easy to let ring out. We completely understand. But it does leave us in a difficult position, and it leaves you with less than you deserve.

If we have not managed to speak, we will still send you general information, brochures, area guides, and developments that broadly match your enquiry. The trouble is, without a conversation, it may or may not be what you need. We might send you investor focused stock when you are relocating, or completed homes when you are two years out. New build makes this gap wider, because the single most important question, when do you actually want to be living there, is the one we cannot answer for you.

So this is our gentle plea. If you see a Spanish number, or a WhatsApp from us, please pick up or reply. Ten minutes on the phone saves you months of looking at the wrong homes.

The cost of staying silent

Without a brief, we are guessing. With one, we can show you exactly the right developments, phases and units, and tell you precisely what is and is not available for your timeline.

The real work begins

We build your full brief and show you real numbers

Once we have spoken and built a full brief, what type of home, what budget, relocation or holiday or investment, and crucially your timescale, the real work begins. The pace is set entirely by when you want to buy. For a longer term buyer it is a light touch, we stay gently in touch and keep you informed without ever pressuring you. For someone closer to travelling, it moves quickly.

At this point we send a selection of developments that match your brief, and you tell us which ones interest you. This is where the Sunshine Homes difference really shows. Rather than leaving you with a vague "from" price, we provide unit level detail on the developments you like. You see every individual home in the phase, its exact price, its size, its floor, and you can download the floorplans yourself. No mystery. You know the exact cost of everything.

The mindset that serves you best

Trust the timing. Falling for one specific unit too early only leads to disappointment when it sells. The right moment to commit to a real home is coming, and we will tell you when it arrives.

Feet on the ground

We build your live viewing portfolio

This is the exciting part, and it comes last for good reason. Once you are committed to travelling and your flights are booked, we select real, live, currently available properties for your viewing portfolio. These are not the homes you first enquired about months ago. These are homes genuinely on the market right now.

We compile this portfolio around a week before you travel. Any sooner and many of the homes, especially the most popular new build units, would simply be sold before you landed. That is exactly the frustration we want to spare you. By timing it tightly, what you walk through is real, available, and achievable, so your trip is spent viewing genuine options rather than chasing properties that have already gone.

Why one week before

New build phases move fast. A portfolio built too early is a list of disappointments. A portfolio built a week before you fly is a set of real, achievable homes.

No mystery, no guessing

See the exact price of every home

This is what a "from" price hides, and what we put in front of you instead. When you tell us a development interests you, we give you the full live price list, unit by unit. Here is a real example of the detail you receive.

Unit level price list showing each individual home in a new build phase with its typology, delivery date, downloadable floorplan, price, bedrooms, bathrooms and surface area

Every unit, individually priced, with floorplans you can download yourself.

Look at what you can actually see, rather than a single tempting headline:

Every individual unit, not just the cheapest one used in the advert.
The exact price of each home, so a penthouse, a corner, or a ground floor are clearly different, never blurred into one "from" figure.
Delivery dates and build stage, so you know whether it suits your timescale before you fall in love with it.
Bedrooms, bathrooms and surface area for each home, side by side.
Downloadable floorplans, so you can study the layout in your own time.

We have built a worked example so you can see exactly how this looks for a real development.

Buying new build with us

The Sunshine Homes new build incentives

Here is something that genuinely sets buying through us apart. Sunshine Homes is part of one of the largest developer and collaborating agent networks across the Costa Blanca and Costa Cálida. Because of the volume that network represents, developers offer us terms an individual buyer walking in alone would simply never be offered, and we pass those advantages straight to you.

On most of the developments we work with, buying your new build through us comes with two real gifts:

Gift one

Free conveyancing

The legal side of your purchase handled by trusted independent lawyers, so one of the larger costs of buying in Spain is taken care of for you.

Gift two

A furniture pack voucher

Scaled to the value of your home, so the more your property is worth, the more generous the voucher towards furnishing it beautifully from day one.

And a written offer on any home you like

This is the part buyers value most. On any individual property you are seriously considering, we will produce a clear written offer for you. It sets out the exact price, and exactly what you will receive, the free conveyancing, the furniture pack voucher scaled to your home, and anything else that applies to that development. No verbal promises, no moving numbers. You see the full picture in black and white, so you can decide with total confidence.

Which buyer are you

Four journeys, one pathway

The five stages are the same for everyone, but with new build the information you need depends entirely on why you are buying and when. This is what we are listening for when we speak to you.

The relocator

You are moving permanently

Your priorities are residency, visas and a home you can live in year round. With new build, completion timing has to line up with your move, so we match developments to when you actually intend to arrive, not just to what looks lovely today.

The holiday buyer

You want a place in the sun

You need a home that is easy to lock up, leave and return to. New build suits this beautifully, low maintenance, energy efficient, often with communal pools, but the phase and handover date still matter, so we plan around your real timeline.

The investor

You are buying for return

Rental licensing, yield and the price advantage of buying early in a development are what count. We help you understand which phase and which unit make commercial sense, with exact numbers rather than a headline price.

The mortgage buyer

You need finance in place

With new build, staged payments and completion dates affect how and when your mortgage works. We need to understand your finance position early, so we only show you homes that genuinely fit what you can arrange.

Prices and availability are set by the developer, shown for illustrative purposes only, and subject to change and developer confirmation. Phase pricing, delivery dates and unit availability move frequently with new build and are confirmed at the point of enquiry. Conveyancing and furniture pack gifts apply to qualifying developments purchased through Sunshine Homes and are subject to the terms of the relevant developer. Written offers set out price and inclusions as confirmed by the developer at the time of issue. Sunshine Homes is an independent property broker.
