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.

On 19 May 2026, the Spanish Supreme Court issued an important ruling regarding the regulations surrounding short-term and holiday rentals in Spain.

The ruling mainly clarifies which authority is responsible for managing tourist rental registrations: the Spanish State or the autonomous regions.

For owners of holiday properties, this raises several questions. Is a national registration number still mandatory? What happens with Airbnb and Booking? And which licence remains valid?

In this blog, we explain what this ruling means in practice.

The planned reforms to the Dutch Box 3 tax system are currently raising many questions among Dutch savers, investors and property owners. Especially for those considering a second home or an investment abroad, the fiscal context is becoming increasingly important.

At the same time, interest in Spanish real estate continues to grow. It is no longer viewed solely as a holiday home, but increasingly as part of a broader strategy focused on wealth diversification, quality of life and long-term planning.

Important to know: according to the current legislative proposal, investments such as shares and cryptocurrencies may be taxed differently from real estate starting in 2028. As a result, many Dutch buyers are already looking ahead and assessing the possible long-term impact of these changes.

However, purchasing a property in Spain is rarely driven by tax considerations alone. Factors such as climate, rental opportunities, international accessibility and the possibility of spending more time in Spain in the future also play an important role.

In this article, we take a closer look at the main changes proposed within Box 3 and explain why Spanish real estate is becoming increasingly relevant for Dutch buyers.
