After-Sales Service in Marbella
Our support doesn’t end when you receive the keys.
Completing the purchase is the beginning of ownership. Chestertons Marbella remains available after completion to help you settle into your property and connect you directly with the in-house expertise required to prepare, maintain, improve or transform your new home.

Direct access to in-house specialist companies
From property setup to complete renovation
AFTER COMPLETION
From Purchase To A Smooth Handover
Once the transaction is completed, practical questions begin. Keys need to be handed over, access arranged, services coordinated and the property prepared for its new owner.
Chestertons Marbella remains a local point of contact during this transition. Where a requirement falls outside real estate brokerage, we can bring in the appropriate in-house specialist or relevant professional rather than leaving the buyer to start again independently.
The objective is a simple one: make the move from acquisition into ownership as smooth as possible.

THE FIRST STAGE OF OWNERSHIP
What Happens After You Buy?
The needs differ from one property to another, but the first months of ownership often follow a similar pattern.
01
Handover
Keys, access and the practical transition from seller to new owner.
02
Prepare
Cleaning, maintenance, technical checks, finishing work and preparation before arrival.
03
Personalise
Interior changes, furniture, carpentry, smart-home requirements or design improvements.
04
Settle In
Move from the initial setup period into ongoing ownership and long-term property care.
GETTING THE PROPERTY READY
Making Your New Property Ready For You
A property rarely needs nothing after completion. Some buyers require only cleaning and a few finishing touches. Others want technical upgrades, bespoke joinery, interior changes or a complete redesign before moving in.
Because these disciplines already exist within our group, buyers can move directly from the transaction into the practical work required to make the property ready.
This is particularly useful for international owners who do not want to assemble and coordinate a new network of independent contractors immediately after purchase.
IN-HOUSE SUPPORT
Specialist Expertise For What Comes After The Purchase
The after-sales relationship gives buyers direct access to the wider group when the property requires specialist attention.
Architecture & Interior Design
Architecture, space planning, interior design, materials, lighting, furniture and complete redesign projects.
New Build, Renovation & Construction
Complete renovations, structural works, extensions and larger construction projects when the property needs more than finishing touches.
Technical Installations & Smart Home Systems
Electrical installations, plumbing, climate systems, home automation and energy-efficiency solutions.
Painting & High-End Finishes
Painting, decorative finishing and specialist surface work for properties that require refreshing or upgrading after purchase.
Bespoke Carpentry & Joinery
Custom furniture, panelling, doors, kitchens, flooring, staircases, pergolas and other bespoke timber solutions.
IF THE PROPERTY NEEDS WORK
Bought The Right Property, But It Isn’t Yet The Right Home?
Not every post-purchase requirement needs to become a renovation project. We can help identify the right level of intervention and connect it to the right team.
Small Improvements
Painting, technical adjustments, maintenance, joinery, surface care and finishing work that prepares or improves the property without changing it fundamentally.
Maintain → Repair → Finish → Improve
Design & Interiors
Layout refinement, interior design, material changes, furniture, lighting and bespoke elements through Lijomi.
Plan → Design → Specify → Complete
Complete Transformation
Full renovation, structural changes, extensions or substantial construction works delivered through our in-house design and construction structure.
Assess → Design → Build → Handover
BEFORE YOU MOVE IN
Planning Works Before Completion?
For buyers who already know during the acquisition that the property will require renovation, redesign or technical works, our in-house teams can begin assessing the project before completion where appropriate. This can reduce the delay between receiving the keys and starting the next stage.
A LOCAL RELATIONSHIP
Questions Do Not Stop At The Notary
Buying a property abroad often creates practical questions after the transaction has completed. The right contractor, an issue with the home, an improvement you want to make or simply knowing who to speak to locally can all become important.
Our relationship with clients does not disappear at completion. Chestertons Marbella remains a local point of contact and can direct property-related needs to the right expertise within the group.
This continuity is especially valuable for owners who are not permanently based in Marbella.
