Lifestyle on the Costa

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.

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.

Thanks for the excellent service we received while looking for, and finally purchasing, our Spanish property. The professional and personable manner in which we were treated was much welcomed. The whole process was relaxed and stress-free – hard to imagine, particularly given our 12-year-old daughter was with us throughout. We felt fully informed throughout about what would happen following the purchase, legal matters and what facilities were available to us through VIVA once we took ownership of the property. We would wholeheartedly recommend VIVA to others.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The VIVA staff were very helpful. After giving the team a list of our requirements, we were taken on a personalised property tour of the area. We described our dream home and VIVA showed us some great properties. VIVA helped us every step of the way. The team is always on-hand and even offered an after-sales service to help with furnishing our new apartment.

My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting your representative in April. We would like to say how extremely pleased we were with the manner in which he dealt with us. He was always super punctual for our meetings, at which he was very informative, helpful and patient. He has made our first purchase on the Costa del Sol a very good and an exceptionally memorable experience. We are recommending your company to our friends, and we ourselves have placed a deposit on a third property!

VIVA's representative was brilliant. She really understood our needs and when we saw the Alhaurín Golf development, we knew she'd found the right place for us - the golf course was an added bonus!
