About Nick Snelling

Author – Journalist – Realtor

I am a journalist and author of six books (three of which are about Spain).  I live permanently in Spain with my family and, whilst not writing, I run Casalasafor Consultancies, a real estate agency for properties located around Gandia in Spain.

Of the six books that I have written, four have been factual.  These have included ‘How to Buy Spanish Property and Move to Spain – Safely!’ and ‘The Laptop Entrepreneur.’  I have also written the text to several books by one of the world’s top documentary photographers (Jurgen Schadeberg).

SPECIALIST IN:
– Information about Spain, Spanish property and Spanish culture
– Investigative articles
– Copy writing, proofreading, corporate article PR
– English language voice-overs

I have undertaken investigative journalism on a wide range of matters concerning Spain. This has included tackling subjects as diverse as corruption, the economy, divorce and domestic violence, drugs, the Spanish property crash, immigration, the Spanish culture of brothel use and even a profile of a high-class call-girl!

I have been a columnist for the A Place in the Sun magazine and I have featured as an expert on programs by the BBC (Radio 4 and BBC 1), ITV and Channel 4 (A Place in the Sun). I have also appeared on numerous programmes for House Hunters International (US TV) – with regard to matters concerning Spain and Spanish property.  This has complemented the time I have spent co-presenting a TV program for a Spanish TV channel, voice-over work for documentaries and ‘fixing’ that I have undertaken for a major TV production company.

If you need advice on Spanish property, investigative articles, a voice-over for documentaries or a book ghost written – then please contact me.

Currently, I am undertaking humanitarian missions in Ukraine – with missions to help amputees and (separately) the environment (soil contamination etc.).
