Welcome to El Soto De Marbella Property

In 2014, we purchased an apartment in La Floresta Sur, Spain. That same year, we were introduced to the Cossins family — a highly driven and professional real estate team primarily operating in the Elviria/La Mairena region.

As local residents themselves, the Cossins have in-depth knowledge of the area and excellent awareness of market opportunities and developments. This expertise proved invaluable in 2018, when they helped us acquire a beautiful penthouse in El Soto that hadn’t even hit the market yet. Thanks to their swift and expert guidance, the purchase was completed within hours.

Later that same year, El Soto de Marbella Properties successfully sold our La Floresta Sur apartment quickly and at the right price — once again demonstrating their efficiency and market insight. Between 2014 and 2018, we bought and sold two additional apartments in El Soto through the assistance of Paul and Claire Cossins. Ultimately, the penthouse was also sold through Paul Cossins.

Throughout all of our dealings, we experienced a high level of professionalism, expertise, and a smooth legal process. If you're searching for a property in Andalusia, El Soto de Marbella Properties is a standout agency — trustworthy, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with.

El Soto itself is a hidden gem: surrounded by unspoiled, UNESCO-protected nature, with stunning views, a golf course, clubhouse, and a vibrant, youthful community. We have since relocated to Marbella city, but we still love coming back to visit El Soto. A truly special place — and an agency we wholeheartedly recommend.

Having made the decision to purchase in Spain we contacted Paul Cossins on recommendation and have certainly not been disappointed with the service provided by El Soto de Marbella Property.

Paul accompanied us on a number of viewings and assisted us with his expert advice and professional opinions outlining the pros and cons of each apartment, at no time did we feel pressured or obligated to make a purchase despite Paul giving up his valuable time. Having found the right apartment at El Soto Paul once again gave us the benefit of his expertise and local knowledge seamlessly guiding us through the purchasing process in quick time.

Having purchased the apartment we’ve also made use of the Property Management Service provided by the company which has been a godsend in making small alterations, cleaning and general maintenance whilst we’re back in the UK. We’re now the proud and happy owners at El Soto and would have no hesitation in recommending Paul Cossins to anyone thinking of following the same path.

We bought through Paul and El Soto De Marbella Property in October 2024. Since then Claire and her team have been fantastic with everything we have needed.  We have recently renovated and furnished our property and Claire liaised and organised with all parties on our behalf and it has all gone without issue, Claire other services in maintaining the property means we can arrive and enjoy it without any hassle. Great service and great people to deal with at all times.

We were looking to purchase a vacation home in Spain. Being nervous about buying a home from the United States we were recommended Paul Cossins with El Soto de Marbella Properties. Paul was available at very short notice and spent the day showing me around and FaceTiming with my husband. We were impressed with the properties and Paul’s knowledge of the area and all it has to offer. With Paul’s expertise the entire process of buying an home went smoothly and also made us feel very comfortable. We have recommended his company to many friends looking to buy properties. This is a superb company.

Excellent firm to deal with…. We purchased our penthouse in April 2023 from El Soto de Marbella properties. From day one they have been excellent, organising viewings as well as solicitors and notaries. The process was very efficient and surprisingly very quick. We have just recently sold our property and purchased a new one, off plan and again we used El Soto de Marbella for our sale process and it could not have been easier. Mr Paul Cossins is extremely knowledgeable of the costa del sol area can also offer contacts for Legal assistance and also any home improvements you also may want to make. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Dear Paul,

I would like to express my profound gratitude to you for all the services you have provided me with, beginning with the day you showed me the apartment and the complex. Indeed, I must say, you are blessed with a keen professionalism and a most human approach to the matters at hand. I must also thank you wholeheartedly for the wonderful work you do to maintain El Soto, with all it has to offer, in the best of conditions: the whole complex, including the golf course, the social club, the green areas, and the all other common spaces are simply sparkling clean and a pleasure to see. Thank you indeed for making my retirement in El Soto a dream come true.

El Soto de Marbella Property were involved in the initial purchase of our property at El Soto de Marbella. The introduction to the development from the Director was both welcoming & highly professional. They displayed a indepth knowledge of regional, political and cultural information pertaining to Andalusia, which is a necessity to any potential client who is relocating to the Costa del Sol.

The after-sales services from El Soto de Marbella Property has been outstanding and still continues to this very day. From all the properties we had viewed throughout the Costas, El Soto de Marbella had the highest potential for a warm & friendly community. This was also a prediction from Mr Paul Cossins the Director and his foresight could not have been more accurate.

My wife and I owe a debt of gratitude to El Soto de Marbella Property for assisting us in making the perfect choice for our home in the sun.

Having decided to purchase a property in the Elviria area I was put in touch with Paul of Dream Location Espana.

Paul was the most helpful person I have ever encountered in the business. He showed our family several properties that met our needs, provided clear and accurate information and then having selected one, worked very close with us on all aspects from liaising with the selling bank and funding, through to getting utilities connected.

What was exceptional is that when moving in Paul was on hand to smooth the whole process and make it all flow and is always around to help. I would recommend talking to Paul if you’re looking for some clear and friendly help in finding a property.

We were absolutely delighted with the service provided by Paul at Dream Location España in the purchase of our apartment in El Soto de Marbella.

After meeting with Paul, it was clear we would get extremely personal and attentive service. Paul was very conscientious to all our needs throughout the process. We felt really taken care of and everything went though very smoothly. What’s more, we got a fantastic price for an apartment not listed with any other agents!

Three years on we are still delighted and would not hesitate to recommend Paul to family and friends.

My wife and I were looking for an apartment here on Costa Del Sol in late summer of 2011.

More by accident we were made aware that there might be a place here in El Soto which we would find interesting. Thus we were introduced to Paul Cossins, who with very short notice found time to show us the apartment. Very friendly and obliging to all our questions and wishes. And for those questions which he was not able to answer straight away, he found the information and forwarded them to us as soon as possible.

We felt that we were in good hands, and that everything was presented not excluding anything. All in all a very professional and competent handling of the purchase which we ended up with.

In Spring 2009 my wife and I decided to buy another property. A holiday home in Cornwall or Marbella Spain. We planned a break in Marbella during July – August to view 6 properties a day a total of 30 – 36. We contacted six property companies to organise viewings. We sent a long list of what we were looking for in a priority order. Paul Cossins from El Soto De Marbella Properties, was easily the most professional, providing viewings of exactly what we had specified, he explained the benefits and even some of the negatives of each viewing. Which was surprising and refreshing. Paul did not come over as a pushy salesman, just a very helpful person, he is extremely knowledgeable of the whole area. Paul never tried to "sell" any property to us, he just provided us with lot’s of information which helped us make our own decision. Some of the other companies' sales people were definitely "Salesmen" which was uncomfortable and disconcerting. We would not hesitate to recommend Paul and El Soto De Marbella Property to any family member or friend who were thinking of buying a property in the Marbella area. Without doubt, a lovely company 100/100...

Thank you to El Soto De Marbella Property.

After owning an apartment at El Soto for ten years we decided to move on and see the world. Paul Cossins at El Soto De Marbella Property is the expert on El Soto, so for us he was the only choice. He did a great job! We were in no hurry to sell, we wanted our price, and we got it. Paul found us a buyer, handled the whole thing and did the deal for us. A great job Paul, thank you very much. When selling a property it's important to get it right, so you need an expert. We got one! We're looking forward to coming back, as visitors. Thanks again.

Highly recommended, excellent service especially in La Mairena and the surrounding area
