About us

The founders of NB-ESTATES are Carl Vorsselmans and Freyke Van Looveren. Both made a career switch from the police world to the Spanish real estate world. Carl spent many years as a commissioner with the Special Units and Freyke with the Antwerp Local Police. Under our blogs, you will find articles about this from De Pol (Antwerp Local Police), De Gazet van Antwerpen, Het Nieuwsblad and other media outlets, In addition, our office has a recognition number with the IPI (501511). This is necessary to practise the profession of estate agent on Belgian territory. In Spain this is not regulated, which means that anyone can practice the profession. With us, this way there always remains an important connection with Belgium. In the meantime, we have grown considerably and can help and support you in the most desirable Spanish regions! Our team is young, dynamic and always ready to assist you in the best possible way. Typical is our long-term vision, which translates into a careful and strict selection of real estate opportunities. We will not add any projects to our portfolio that have not been positively screened in terms of bank guarantees, permits, reliability and finish. Our goal is to find your dream home and provide complete guidance from A to Z. This long-term vision is very important to our company. We gain much more from a satisfied customer, than from a quick sale. Achieving your satisfaction is also in our interest; we cannot imagine a better ambassador of our company than a satisfied customer.

Notre offre

Our offer is spread over several regions, allowing us to guide you in a neutral way and show you what really suits you! Together with our professional staff, we ensure that everything is taken care of before, during and after the purchase. And at all times in your native language.

In front of

Before coming on site, we try to meet you at one of our offices, info days or webinars. It is very important for us to know your wishes and expectations.

We also provide you with information on the possibilities, the purchase costs, the buying process, tax obligations and much more. It is also very important to clarify beforehand what budget you want to spend on your dream Spanish home. So inform yourself well in advance with your house bank. That way, we can work specifically on site and you avoid any frustrations afterwards if you are unable to proceed with the purchase of that one particular dream home.

During the day

Having informed you fully and clearly, your arrival will be carefully prepared. On site, we take our time for you. It is important that you carry out a targeted market study with us of the offer and that you get to know the area.

Once you have found your property, we coordinate the entire administrative purchase process. In full transparency and trust, the contracts will be drawn up and we will accompany you to the notary where the transfer of ownership will take place.

After

In Spain, things work a little differently... At the notary, you become the proud owner, but after this, there are still many very important administrative obligations to be fulfilled. Don't worry, we will guide you professionally and you don't have to do anything yourself.

In addition, you can continue to count on us even after your purchase. We will be happy to help you and advise you on practical matters. (such as internet, furniture, rental company, etc.). Our after-sales service is one of our greatest assets.

The Spanish real estate market remains highly attractive to foreign buyers. For many, it involves a second home on the coast or inland, often combined with rental income as an investment.

Entrepreneurs who already own a company frequently ask themselves whether it is possible—and beneficial—to purchase property in Spain through their company.

The answer depends on the purpose of the purchase, how the property will be used, and the fiscal implications in Spain. Below, you will find what you need to consider today.

Non-residents who own assets in Spain, such as a holiday home, bank accounts or investments, now benefit from stronger tax protection. The Spanish Supreme Court has ruled that non-residents are entitled to the same combined income and wealth tax limit as Spanish tax residents.

Until now, this tax cap applied only to residents. As a result, non-residents often paid more tax in identical situations. The new ruling marks an important shift in Spanish tax policy.

This article explains what the decision means, how the sixty per cent rule works, and what impact it may have on anyone who owns property or other assets in Spain.

The Canary Islands have reached a milestone in their housing and tourism policy. On 12 November 2025, the regional Parliament approved the Law on the Sustainable Regulation of Tourist Use of Residential Housing, the first comprehensive regulation governing holiday rentals on the islands. It replaces the former Decree 113/2015, which for years offered insufficient clarity in a rapidly growing sector.

According to Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, Director General of Planning, Training and Tourism Promotion, the core vision of the new law is clear:

“This law defines sustainability as the guarantee of an adequate quality of life for present and future generations, and it defends a habitable and balanced territory.”

Tourism and Employment Minister Jéssica de León added that the reform marks a new era of urban planning and management, where the right to housing for the islands’ 2.2 million residents must be balanced with an economic activity that is important for the region but must develop in an orderly and balanced way.
