Lifestyle on the Costa

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.

By dealing with an agent like VIVA, we always had someone that was on hand when we needed them. If I was to give any advice to prospective buyers, it would be to make sure you have an estate agent that you can use if you need things to be done remotely.

We attended a Spanish property exhibition in Birmingham and were fortunate enough to find VIVA. From that moment, through to our final purchase, we received a level of service and courtesy second to none. Thanks to VIVA's superb customer service and professionalism, we bought two properties in Spain and subsequently discovered that there was a great need for English greeting cards in Spain - our company was born!

We are writing to you to let you know how impressed we were with the service we received from VIVA in connection with the recent purchase of two plots of land in Coín. All the staff were fantastic; they went out of their way to make meetings with the lawyer, an architect and opening a bank account with us very easy. As we were short of time our representative even came in on their day off... we spent a whole day just driving around getting to know the area. We certainly got exactly what we were looking for, and would not hesitate to recommend VIVA to anyone.

I want to thank you all for the wonderful service afforded me and my wife. I would also like to thank your representative for his professionalism throughout the time he was with us and for finding the perfect home for us to live in Spain. Everything has gone perfectly from yourselves to the lawyers to the builders. Thank you for a wonderful service.

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.

Thank you for the information pack I received last week – what a fantastic DVD! I've shown it to friends and family who are equally impressed. The DVD and brochure have given us much more insight into the Costa del Sol than I managed in months of research. Keep up the good work.

We arranged a trip out to the Costa del Sol where one of VIVA's representatives took us out to see about six places. She understood our needs brilliantly and the final apartment we visited suited us down to the ground. The process of buying property in Spain can be surprisingly straightforward, particularly with the help of an English-speaking company like VIVA. Having VIVA's support has been crucial. We're very happy.

We would both like to thank you very much indeed for your excellent service and attention to detail. As you know, estate agents have rather a bad reputation here in England but we can only say that we were very impressed by the way in which you dealt with our enquiry and showed us around.
