Lifestyle on the Costa

We were over in Spain (unfortunately with another company) and called VIVA out of the blue to see if you could help. We were met at the hotel and I cannot begin to tell you what a lovely day we had with your representative. Your team are a credit to you.

We were very impressed with the whole VIVA service. They don't waste any time at all. We talked to one other couple who took a year to find a property. We did it in a day! And being chauffeured around was brilliant. We'd never have found the places we saw if we'd been on our own.

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 (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.

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.

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.

We love the idea of living a simple life away from the tourist route, and the house is perfect for our needs. Our dream is to spend the winters here in Spain and the summers touring festivals in Europe with our performance work and jewellery stalls.

We have received first-class service. At all times VIVA has been extremely efficient and kind. Their attentive and friendly and assured nature has removed much of the stress involved during and after the purchase of our property and they continue to be of tremendous help even now. For after-sales customer service, VIVA is exceptional.

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.
