Lifestyle on the Costa

We were picked up from where we were staying in Mijas Costa and here began our relationship with VIVA. That morning was a whirl of information, sitting in VIVA's very pleasant cool offices drinking coffee. . It only took two days exploring before we decided on a new-build, completed but only just released for occupation, at Arenal Golf. There were a few minor hiccups along the way, but nothing that VIVA couldn't resolve.

We (Americans) have spent at least three months each year (for the last 20) living abroad and have visited almost 40 countries. We chose Spain for our permanent retirement last year as it is the perfect compromise of lifestyle, cost, food and weather – we haven't regretted a day of it. VIVA found us the perfect home in Estepona surrounded by Spaniards and expats from 18 different countries. Your (blog) article hit the nail on the head: Spain is a top choice.

We wanted to buy a second home as an investment and Spain seemed like the best place to look, After an exhaustive search, we chose to settle in Benalmádena. We were thrilled when we heard about this development.

In my dealings with your company, and indeed your UK partner, the experience has been outstanding. I congratulate you as a company on recruiting such excellent staff and finding such excellent partners in the UK. I have heard so many horror stories from people who have bought properties in Spain; all I can say is they obviously didn't deal with the right company. Your team couldn't have been more helpful. You have two very happy customers who would strongly recommend VIVA to anyone buying in Spain (indeed, we already have done).

VIVA gave me all the relevant information about currency exchange and transfer companies in the area. All the transactions went without a hitch. Overall everything progressed reasonably smoothly, which when buying from 3,000 miles away is really what you want and need. This was certainly due to all the good advice and contacts we were given along the way.

We are the owners of a property which we purchased through VIVA in Riviera del Sol. Throughout the whole transaction we have been treated extremely well by all your team and the legal people your company put us in touch with. I have to say that VIVA made the whole process stress-free. While a lot of companies talk about after-sales service, VIVA really delivers. It is not often you find this in a company and I really believe this is VIVA’s ace card. We are delighted with our property and are now advising all our family and friends that if they are going to purchase a property to contact yourselves.

My wife and I were absolutely delighted with the help we received, in particular the patient and courteous way we were dealt with. We not only felt that we had found our perfect property, but we had acquired a new friend in Spain as well. We are definitely going to recommend you to others.

The process of finding a property in Spain was made very easy by our VIVA consultant, and everything was explained in detail. We wanted a house outside the main tourist areas and so he took us inland. On our first trip out we found our new Spanish home. You have made our dream a reality and we can't wait to move to Spain in the near future. Thank you VIVA.

The search for the right home was a dream come true, as VIVA's charming representative took us out to the mountains beyond Ojén and Monda. The house VIVA helped us to find is perfect for our requirements.

I have recently purchased a property in Benalmádena and would like to take this opportunity to thank VIVA for all the help you gave in ensuring the process went as smoothly as possible. I've been more than impressed with the professional and friendly service I received from everyone at VIVA. We were guided through the process and the team was always there to help with any queries we had, no matter how minor. We will be planning another purchase later on this year, and we will definitely be contacting VIVA again.
